Impact Of Covid-19 On The Global Light Control Switches Market

• The manufacturing of light control switches stopped for a specific period of time due to the outbreak of the COVID1-19 pandemic, which highly impacted the sales of light control switches.
• Sales of light control switches is directly proportional to construction. Construction has been negatively impacted amid the lockdown imposed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, and recorded a huge decline in sale of light control switches in 2020, which led to decline in sale of light control switches.
• The spread of the coronavirus had a severe impact on global economy through declines in exports, output, demand from overseas tourists, and private use. The major exporter of electronic items and decrease in demand for electronics led to decline in demand for light control switches.
• COVID-19 impacted almost all industries by hindering various industrial operations and disrupting the supply chain. Maximum companies halted their operation due to less workforce. However, there is a sluggish decline in the global market due to impact of COVID-19. 
• The electronic industry acquired a significant share in terms of consumption of light control switches. Attributed to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for electronic items has increased due to increase in work-from-home culture, which, in turn, increases the demand for light control switches.
• Furthermore, import and export activities were significantly impacted, which, in turn, adversely affected the industries using light control switches, affecting the global light control switches market. 
• According to the UNIDO, 30.0–70.0% of pre-COVID-19 workforce of various industries, such as electrical and other third-party vendors migrated to their hometowns, due to uncertainties and loss of income during the lockdown. This unavailability or less availability of workforce is expected to directly affect the production and manufacturing activities, thereby resulting in decline in demand for raw materials used in light control switches. This is expected to decline the growth of the market. 
• Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the preference for touchless switches increased. However, after lockdown it shows positive impact on sales on wireless and highly automated light control switches which may act as the growth factor for the wireless light control switches..
