The plant-based trend continues to grow during COVID times and encouraging people to eat more fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Also, there are various health benefits associated with plant-based products, about which consumers are getting more aware recently.Also, excessive consumption of animal-based meat may result in diet-related diseases such as obesity, type-2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers is one of the main reason for growing demand of plant based meat. As the consumption of plant-based meat does not give rise to such diseases. Moreover, they aid in building better immunity. The nutritional benefits of plant-based meats and their safety compared with conventional meat are also contributing to gain the attention of consumers.Impact on Supply ChainThe COVID-19 pandemic has highly disrupted the supply chain of raw materials used to manufacture plant based meat. During COVID-19, the food system experienced significant shifts, including interruptions to supplies of key inputs, limited access to production spaces, and disruption to the distribution of products. It was attributed to the lack of resources and transportation, which led to lower access, delayed stock, and supplies of raw materials products. In addition, many governments restricted the movement of goods across the countries, and the entire supply chain was distorted. Due to the disrupted supply chain, transportation of raw materials has been interrupted, stalling production. Similarly, inflated prices and halt on production of plant based meat have resulted in the unmet demand for plant based meat. The new variant of COVID-19 ‘Omicron’ is spreading fast across the world, which has again prompted governments around the globe to reimpose travel restrictions which will gradually disturb the supply chain again.For Instance,In January 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) has said more than half of Europe’s population will get infected with the Omicron coronavirus variant within the next six to eight weeksIn January 2022, the United States (US) is facing the steepest COVID-19 surge of the pandemic. The country is recording close to 700,000 new infections every day, the highest so far. Eight Americans are testing positive per second, and at this rate the country is likely to cross the one million new cases daily mark soonIn January 2022, According to Indian Express the Indian Covid numbers are: Delhi (19,166), Mumbai (13,648 cases), Bengaluru (9,221 cases), Kolkata (5,556 cases), Chennai (6,190 cases)In December 2021, United Nations’ health agency stated that Omicron has been reported in 89 countriesIn December 2021, UK Health Security Agency said on Twitter there had been an additional 12,133 confirmed cases of Omicron over the previous 24 hours, taking the total number of confirmed cases to 37,101ConclusionCOVID- 19 pandemic has taken a toll on the population and economy. Increasing vegan population across the globe is expected to increase the demand for plant based meat during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is having a strong impact on various facets of the plant based meat industry. Governments in hard-hit countries have imposed nationwide lockdowns and travel restrictions to avoid further virus infection, creating several barriers across the supply chain in the plant based meat market. As such, market players are chalking out innovative strategies to address this uncertain period. The growing consciousness for animal rights through various welfare organizations continues to push the consumption of plant based meat.

The persistence of COVID-19 has affected the supply and demand chain as it got disrupted due to the non-availability of ingredients such as pea and other plant protein ingredientsImpact On the Demand of Pea Protein MarketThe consumers' demand increased for overall health and wellness products during the COVID-19 outbreak. The consumers' demand for pea protein products will grow rapidly beyond the historical base. The sale of pea protein products has significantly increased amidst the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.According to a survey conducted by the association of plant-based food, the U.S. retail plant-based foods sale was 35% higher than total retail food amid the panic buying period around March and April of 2020.The pandemic has considerably transformed consumer buying patterns. People across the globe are demanding and buying plant protein supplements due to their healthier and safer properties compared to animal-based products. Therefore, the growing consumers' preference surrounding food safety amidst the pandemic is expected to boost the demand for pea protein products in the upcoming years.For instance,In 2020, Nestlé launched Yes! Protein bars in the U.K. & Ireland in two different flavors as almond, peanut, and double dark chocolate and cashew, blueberry, and dark chocolate powdered with nuts and peas, and each bar contains 10g of plant proteinThe COVID-19 provided a substantial increase in the popularity of pea protein products, which proved to be beneficial for all manufacturers in the global pea protein market.IMPACT ON THE PRICE OF GLOBAL PEA PROTEIN MARKETThe price of pea proteins is costly due to the technology involved in extracting protein from plants and processing it. The COVID-19 has a negative impact on the price of pea proteins due to the disruption in the import and export of raw materials, restrictions imposed by the governments, restricted movements, shut down of stores, and less availability of workers. All these factors lead to the rise in the price of pea protein products globally.IMPACT ON THE SUPPLY CHAIN OF THE GLOBAL PEA PROTEIN MARKETThe COVID-19 crisis has majorly affected the pea protein market and its supply chain across the world. Due to the persistence of the COVID-19, lockdown restrictions were implied worldwide, which disturbed the supply chain of pea protein products and their ingredients. Because of restrictions in the movements, it was hard for the manufacturers to collect raw materials such as pea other plant-derived materials, which has, in turn, affected the manufacturing of the pea proteins. Also, the restriction movement hit the supply of global manufacturers such as Wilmar international, ADM, Cargill Inc., Kerry group, and Ingredion Incorporated. During the COVID-19 outbreak, restriction movement across the countries made it hard for them to supply their products in the global market.Also, the restriction movement hit the supply of global manufacturers, which made it difficult for them to supply their products in the global market. With the COVID-19 outbreak, the demand for pea proteins was initially decreased due to lack of awareness, change in consumer's preference, restriction on the trading process, and loss of labor due to movement restrictions.STRATEGIC INITIATIVES BY MANUFACTURERSWith the increased demand for healthy essential products, the manufacturers are taking new initiatives for pea protein products availability even during COVID-19 time. Greater awareness of how consuming plant ingredients can assist immune systems has helped many companies to gain market share. In addition, manufacturers partner with other companies to launch new technology or products, acquire them, or merge with them.With the growing demand for plant-based foods all over the globe, the manufacturers are launching various pea protein products.For instances,In December 2020, Ingredion launched its first-ever protein isolate named VITESSENCE Pulse 1803 pea protein to meet increasing consumer demand for protein-rich products in a broad range of on-trend categories.In December 2019, Cargill, Incorporated launched RadipureTM, a pea protein developed and manufactured in Asia, to support the ever-increasing Asian consumer market and demand for plant-based proteins.Moreover, with surging demand, key manufacturers are expanding their business and investing in the ongoing trend of plant protein to meet consumer demand.For instance,In November 2021, Roquette informed the opening of the world’s largest pea protein plant, further extending its leadership position to meet the surging global demand for pea proteins.In August 2019, Cargill Incorporated invested $75 million in Puris, the largest North American producer of pea protein. The investment will help Puris to double its pea protein production and will position the company to keep up with the ever-increasing demand for its category-leading pea proteinsThus, the increasing number of launches, business expansion, investment partnerships by manufacturers to develop products to fulfill the rising demand for pea proteins is expected to boost growth.ConclusionPandemic has taken a toll on every aspect of life, including the global economy. With the significant downfalls in many sectors, a collaborative effort of government, industry players, and consumers can win the fight against COVID-19. Consumer awareness about high immunity has become a legitimate concern during these pandemic circumstances.Consumers are also shifting their buying presences from offline to online retails to maintain social distancing. Lockdown, mostly all over the world, has resulted in disruption in the supply and demand chain. All sectors, including pea proteins, have to suffer from various problems such as labor unavailability, inability to access markets, and lack of resources and raw material. However, the situation improves as the restrictions have been lifted in many countries, and the supply chain issues have been sorted out. Therefore, the pea protein market is supposed to grow significantly in the coming years due to the improved supply chain and consumer awareness about growing benefits from plant-based protein sources such as pea protein.
Analysis On Impact of Covid-19 On Global Paper and Paperboard Packaging MarketManufacturers mostly utilize paperboard packaging boxes to preserve the nutritional content and freshness of their products. This market's worldwide trade will be driven by sophisticated and improved transportation infrastructure that allows items to be moved from one location to another without damage. External factors, such as air and temperature, do not affect the real operation of paper and paperboard, which is referred to as product packaging.However, the spread of COVID-19 is an unprecedented worldwide public health crisis that has impacted nearly every business, and its long-term consequences are expected to have an influence on industry growth throughout the projection period. COVID-19 has resulted in changes in consumer behaviour and demand, purchasing patterns, supply chain rerouting, current market dynamics, and substantial government engagement. Economic insecurity caused by the pandemic had also triggered the investors in both the public and private sectors to reconsider the investment decisions in terms of taking up new construction-based projects.AFTERMATH OF COVID-19 AND GOVERNMENT INITIATIVE TO BOOST GLOBAL PAPER AND PAPERBOARD MARKETThe government had taken many steps to ensure the availability of raw materials by keeping track of the supply and demand of the intermediate goods for producing paper board packaging materials. Alongside, the government of various countries is also taking action such as providing subsidies for raw materials, supporting the domestic producers with short-term loans to assist SMEs (small and medium enterprises) and local manufacturers engaged in the production of paper and paperboard boxes and cartons. For instance,The Government of India intends to construct green infrastructure for the e-commerce sector to balance environmental efficiency with energy conservation, fuelling the demand for paper and paperboard packaging materials STRATEGIC DECISIONS FOR MANUFACTURERS AFTER COVID-19 TO GAIN COMPETITIVE MARKET SHAREThe manufacturing sector of paper and paperboard materials was one of the most damaged sectors by COVID-19. Several steps were taken to increase international cooperation among the countries to promote investments and also to improve the ease of doing business inside the nations. Also, various relief measures were provided for the middle market and large businesses in the packaging industry. New and existing projects were given a kick start by inviting technological innovations supported by the government. For instance,Rapid industrialization and urbanization in India, China, and other Asian nations, together with the adoption of smart and energy-efficient technologies used for packaging purposes, have a favourable impact on paper and paperboard market’s demandImpact on PriceThe worldwide paper and paperboard market is extremely fragmented, with several small and big competitors competing on price and quality, due to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for packaging materials had seen a severe downfall since May 2020, resulting in the fluctuation of the prices of raw materials used for making smart boxes and containers. The rise in prices of basic materials caused by the pandemic, as well as a scarcity of stock with wholesalers, had posed a problem for many small and large-scale projects, affecting the global paper and paperboard market.Impact On DemandThe major sector of the packaging market is the food industry and e-commerce business as a major part of the demand for packaging boxes comes from these units. The restaurant and hotel sector was one of the sectors that suffered the burden of COVID-19. The demand for restaurant foods was likewise sluggish, as people were mainly prioritizing the health requirements over any other requirements. Furthermore, the emergence of remote-based work facilities had reduced the need for office buildings along with its canteen foods and hence affecting the global paper and paperboard market.Impact on Supply ChainThe COVID-19 pandemic had put the contemporary global supply chain to the test like never before. The pandemic had a genuinely global impact, causing many fractures in numerous supply chains like component suppliers, production locations, and in the last mile to the end-users. The production process came to a pause due to the shortage of labourers in almost all the manufacturing sites. Due to a ban on interstate travel, the supply chain also suffered as a result of the emigration of migrant workers. The shutdown of distribution and trade routes has affected the supply channel, resulting in the rise of the operating costs of raw materials. During that situation, all the manufacturers of paper board packaging materials were facing issues with the timely availability of raw materials.ConclusionPaper and paperboard boxes are widely utilized in the food and e-commerce sector due to their numerous applications, varying from the packing of food and different goods in the container for transportation. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused substantial obstacles to global supply chains, due to a dip in restaurant activities, the demand for packaging materials has faced a sharp decline in several regions. The manufacturers suffered huge losses due to repeated nationwide curfews and shutdowns continue to hamper or even halt the movement of raw materials and completed goods. Manufacturing and distribution issues were likely the most visible disturbances to all types of packaging markets. However, the government of various countries has opted for various policies to strengthen international partnerships, diversification of suppliers, an innovation for reducing the need for certain resources, and circular economy techniques to boost economic activities of the entire world.
