Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Microminiature Circular Connectors market

The Asia-Pacific region constitutes the world’s two most populated countries as well as manufacturing hubs across India and China. The China region virtually imposed strict lockdown and social isolation which virtually halted the manufacturing as well as production of numerous equipment and machinery for several weeks resulting in shrinking its country economy. Furthermore, the country also isolated its import as well as export of critical raw materials and industrial equipment for numerous industry vertical impacting the supply chain of various end-user industries. Similarly, India also imposed a nationwide lockdown to mitigate the growing number of COVID-19 cases across the country. As a result, the subsequent lockdown and disruption of numerous industrial equipment and machineries across China and India respectively has contributed significantly in negatively impacting the market growth across the Asia-Pacific region. In addition to this, the closure of several retailers, distributors and sales representatives also has reduced the availability of components and production of circular connectors other European and North American based market players
