COVID-19 Impact on Functional Printing Market

The covid-19 has led to severe crisis across the world and several causalities. Supply chain disruptions were created due to lockdown that was being imposed in several regions. Hence, an imbalance in the demand and supply was witnessed, leading to companies not manufacturing to their complete capacity. However, in the third quarter of 2020, lockdowns were lifted, leading to the market's steady recovery with the significant increase in the demands.

In order to keep the industries operating during these challenging times, the government imposed laws and limits on workforce. Also, the market is estimated to revive as individual regulatory bodies begin to relax these enforced lockdowns. The suspended and cancelled operations will continue, and the functional printing market is estimated to expand.
