COVID-19 IMPACT

Plastic Floors Industry Had a Negative Effect Due to Construction Delays, Labor Shortages during COVID-19 Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the plastic floors market negatively, mainly due to the disruption of the construction activities and supply chain. Lack of lockdowns and restrictions contributed to delays of residential and commercial projects, lowering the demand of flooring materials. They closed down manufacturing plants or cut their capacity, thus delaying production of products. Second, changes in the prices of raw materials had their toll on the cost of production as well as stability in the market. All these difficulties reduced market growth at the height of the pandemic.
