COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The outbreak of COVID-19 has significantly affected the electronics and semiconductor sector. Business and manufacturing units across various countries were closed, owing to increase in number of COVID-19 cases, and are expected to remain closed in first quarter of 2022. Furthermore, partial or complete lockdown has disrupted global supply chain posing challenges for manufactures to reach customers.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the society and overall economy across the globe. The impact of this outbreak has grown day-by-day, affecting the overall business globally. The crisis has created uncertainty in the stock market and has resulted in falling business confidence, massive slowing of supply chain, and increasing panic among customers.
Asian and European countries under lockdowns have suffered major loss of business and revenue, owing to shutdown of manufacturing units. Operations of the production and manufacturing industries have been heavily impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease, which further impacted growth of the 5G infrastructure market.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the electronics sector as production facilities have stalled, which, in turn, has boosted demand for electronics and semiconductor products in these industries. Its major impact includes a large manufacturing interruption across Europe and interruption in Chinese parts exports, which hinder the 5G infrastructure market opportunity. It is expected that the demand for new and innovative products could surge once the economy begins to recover. Companies look forward to invest in next-generation products using new technologies, as it is expected to boost its goodwill, once customer demand increases.
By Region
Asia-Pacific region will lead the market with a highest CAGR of 47.7% during 2021 - 2030
