COVID–19 scenario analysis

The world has to suffer the effect of this pandemic, which likely to bring about considerable demand & supply gap, manufacturing delay, and low consumer demand for end products throughout industries. Many countries have witnessed drop in the economic activity due to the lockdown. For example, in India, the power consumption has suffered a fall of 26% in energy consumption since 18th March. In addition, according to Power System Operation Corporation (POSOCO), the overall country’s energy consumption has dropped by 3.5K GWh in a day. These factors are hampering the product demand due to the outbreak. However, the market is anticipated to regain its importance after the end of the pandemic.  

Top impacting factors: Market scenario analysis, trends, and drivers

Improvement in the hydro-generators market is propelled through the need for adoption of excess depletion of fossil fuels, cleaner fuel sources, and increased electricity demand.
