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 2021. Furthermore, partial or complete lockdown has disrupted global supply chain posing challenges for manufactures to reach customers.
The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the society and overall economy across the globe. The impact of this outbreak is growing day-by-day as well as affecting the overall business globally. The crisis is creating uncertainty in the stock market and is resulting in falling business confidence, massive slowing of supply chain, and increasing panic among the customer segments.
Asian and European countries under lockdowns have suffered major loss of business and revenue, due to the shutdown of manufacturing units. The operations of the production and manufacturing industries have been heavily impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease, which further impacted the growth of the market.
In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the electronics sector, as the production facilities have stalled, which, in turn, have boosted the demand for electronics and semiconductor products in the industries. Its major impact includes a large manufacturing interruption across Europe and interruption in Chinese parts exports, which may hinder the optical switches market opportunity.
By Region
Asia-Pacific would exhibit the highest CAGR of 12.60% during 2021-2030
