COVID-19 Impact: Low Demand and Supply Chain Disruptions Impeded Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic was unprecedented & staggering, with volleyballs experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to the pre-pandemic times. The sudden spike in CAGR can be attributed to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels after the pandemic is over.

The sudden closure of sports activities and low demand for the product heavily affected the manufacturers and producers as they incurred massive losses during the last two years. However, the product is gaining traction post the pandemic, which will drive the market share and growth of the industry.
