In addition, even the worldwide foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows saw a sharp decline. Emerging and least developed countries (LDCs), mainly in Africa, are specifically exposed to the unfolding effects of this pandemic. As per the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), FDI flows would drop extremely up to 40% during 2020–2021. Various developed and emerging nations, including LDCs, have announced numerous measures intended to limit impacts of the disease, protecting local industries for strategic sectors, which includes energy sector, health industry, and telecommunication to preserve real economy, mainly by offering bailouts or bonds for businesses and public in general. Further, adverse effects of the epidemic on FDI investments are expected to be high in the automotive, energy, airlines, building construction, and oil & gas industries. There is ambiguity and unpredictability regarding the spread of the virus.

COVID-19 should be a wakeup call for the manufacturing industry, emphasizing that Industry 4.0 (IR4) technologies are essential for subsistence in a global marketplace that necessitates more flexible and agile manufacturing systems and supply chains. With IR4 technologies such as internet of things (IoT), big data, 3D printing, artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced robotics, manufacturers could realize aids of employing a digital-first approach to a physical business.

In addition, rise in requisite for remote communication and asset management throughout the epidemic has emphasized the need for cutting-edge manufacturing technologies, which consist of future 5G solutions and cloud-based services. The suppleness empowered by such technologies has permitted early adopters to observe profits of their investments. Such instances of adaptability and resilience are prospective to lead to an acceleration in the implementation of advanced manufacturing technologies and processes as businesses seem to adjust to the evolving “new normal”.

Manfacturing Industry

The novel coronavirus is spreading swiftly causing overall manufacturing supply chain with unpredictable challenges. The major problem connected with these troubles include closure of manufacturing facilities, shortage in labor, low production, and scarcity of raw materials. Noteworthy reduction in number of suppliers has directly obstructed numerous manufacturing plants. For instance, in March 2020, Ford, Volvo Group, and Honda closed their manufacturing facilities and sent most of their workforce home in an effort to avoid the spread of this disease. Likewise, several corporations including Saint Gobain, Whirlpool, and Bharat Forge temporarily shut down their manufacturing processes in India to support the government initiative of lockdown in the country.

Building Construction segment holds highest share in 2019

Construction Industry

Several issues that the construction industry supply chain partners are facing during the pandemic include shutdowns of construction sites, shortage of labor, and scarcities in raw materials. Construction in many countries largely depend on international shipments of materials, which include steel, stone, aluminum, copper, and fixtures. For instance, in February 2020, the Port of Los Angeles recorded a 23% year-on-year decline in shipping containers, owing to halt in industrial facilities in China. It is anticipated that more declines would occur in imports, if the situation remains same. Such kind of supply chain disruption is not unique to the U.S. as contractors worldwide are expressing worries in obtaining certain materials.

Further, dearth of workforce, in addition to possible supply chain bottlenecks of equipment & materials is anticipated to result in project delays in ongoing construction projects. This may further lead to less expenditure in the future projects. Ambiguity about actual duration of existing lockdown situation makes it difficult to predict retrieval of the construction industry.

Hvac Industry 

The heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) industry has also been adversely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic as several component manufacturing facilities are shut down in numerous economies such as EU countries, the U.S., Japan, and India. This has subsequently led to a substantial slowdown in manufacture of HVAC machinery and equipment. Lockdowns levied by governments of several countries in the wake of COVID-19 epidemic has not only disturbed manufacturing but also the consumer demand for HVAC machinery and equipment. 

Packaging Industry

Packaging is an integral part of pharmaceuticals, food, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and an entire group of segments that come under the purview of the essential services maintenance act (ESMA), India. Several packaging plants, pharmaceutical, and food plants all over the world are operational now. However, lockdown imposed by governments of several countries has caused short supply of raw materials, dearth of workers, and transport restrictions. In addition, with newer directives by governments to ensure operations of transport for essential services, transportation and logistical challenges are expected to be resolved soon. Hence, packaging companies are expected to encounter a short-term impact on supply chain of food and pharma packaging.

Nevertheless, pertaining to serious and worsening conditions globally, nations need coordination and cooperation between themselves, which includes help and sensible as well as mature conduct of individuals to effectively fight against the virus. Moreover, as all countries are interconnected, wrong policies or actions taken by one country could cause a severe influence on other nations. It is a critical time for all states and nations to coordinate, cooperate, and assist each other rather than political point-scoring and disputing to conquest this deadly virus for preventing economic and financial structure.

Analyst Review

While powerful movements such as worldwide trade tensions, novel technology innovations, climate change, and the present COVID-19 crisis effect all parts of the world, realism of those effects and consequently obligatory responses to them are intrinsically propelled by unique regional features and regional empowering environments.

COVID-19 has had a disrupting impact on the global trade and economy since the initial cases were recorded in China in December 2019. In the later months, several industries globally were largely impacted, which included major manufacturing hubs, construction industry, and packaging industry that observed abrupt supply chain troubles and production halts. Further, owing to this rapidly-spreading epidemic, the manufacturing and construction industry globally have seen sharp declines, indicating uncertainties about supply chain interruptions and reviving financial market fears of recession.

Further, the coronavirus pandemic has also affected import and export of raw materials and led to labor shortages. Globally, China is the largest exporter of raw materials. Negative trends in the Chinese economy is expected to decrease the global trade. In addition, demand for raw materials have observed an immense negative shift, with manufactures, constructors, and investors fearing an extremely declining economic development. Moreover, owing to this pandemic, several manufacturing and construction industries have been shut-down, owing to prolonged lockdowns in key global countries. This has hindered growth of the construction & manufacturing industry significantly from past few months, and is expected to continue throughout 2020.

Further, COVID-19 has already affected sales of equipment and machinery in the first quarter of 2020 and is likely to cause a negative impact on the construction & manufacturing industry growth throughout the year. Reduced consumer demand & consumption has led to drop and stoppage of various processes of construction & manufacturing companies globally over the course of the current economic year.
