Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Asia-Pacific Ultra-Wideband Chipset Market Size

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, several regions have suffered heavily, especially the Asia-Pacific region. The manufacturing sectors across the globe have been experiencing low production and a weaker supply chain. In addition, the labor shortage has also affected the manufacturing industry. UWB-based systems production facilities were also either shut down or unable to produce a total capacity, which has negatively affected companies' revenues from 2020 to mid-2021 and resulted in slower growth in the near term. However, with the growing usage of remote monitoring technology, software management tools could lead to higher adoption during the post-COVID period. So, the overall impact of COVID-19 on the ultra-wideband chipset market across the globe is low to moderate.
