Impact Of Covid-19 On The Residential Generators Market

• Coronavirus has eased the development of the residential generator market, as nations had to carry out lockdowns during the first half of 2020. Severe rules were given by governments and neighbourhood specialists, and all minor tasks were ended. This antagonistically influenced the residential generator market inferable from the suspension of activities of end users.
• In addition, production and supply chain delays were also witnessed during the second quarter which poised a challenge to the portable generator market, since end-user industries were still not operating at their full capacity.
