Folding beds are readily transportable and lightweight. They are utilized as an alternative for permanent beds. The crucial advantage of the folding bed is its portability and compactness. The panels are composed of plastic or lightweight wooden pliable metal frame coated in linen, canvas or nylon. Due to restricted living space, the market for folding beds has increased dramatically in recent years. Also, because of their multi-functionality and space-saving potential, they are the perfect replacement for regular beds. Rapidly urbanized housing has expanded, and the demand for these beds among the occupants has therefore grown. The non-residential market contributes globally to the development of mobile beds. These beds are mounted in hospitals, hotels, restaurants, hostels and health centers under the non-residential application. Portable beds are the ideal choice for a place or an apartment in the studio.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

• As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the supply and distribution system had interrupted countries to apply a lockdown. The shift in operations and seller's actions affected output. Hypermarkets and convenience stores have been closed, resulting in a gap in demand and supply.
• With restricted work availability, a renewed supply of raw material and a logistic difficulty, the production process for folding bed has become an obstacle for enterprises.
