The lockdown made the economy handicapped with the shutters closed and affected many's livelihoods. The manufacturing units had already suffered a huge loss. With it, the livelihood of those associated with the industry was also at stake. COVID-19 disrupted the global supply chain of the major brands of the washing machine market. China is one of the largest consumers and producers of washing machine products. It also caters to a wide range of countries by exporting several input supplies to produce finished goods. Production shutdown in China forced other washing machine manufacturers based in the Americas to temporarily hold the production of the finished goods. It leads to an increase in the supply and demand gap and the product market.

Despite being dominated by large countries such as Brazil, the Latin American region includes countries with significant differences. Growth in the washing machine market is driven by the increased disposable household income, with demand clustered on washing machines. The growth in Latin America's middle-class population will further drive growth and bring home appliance market opportunities. However, the low saving ratio in the country may bring some challenges to the market's growth. Home appliance consumption in Argentina is affected by economic situations. Before the covid pandemic, the peso was devalued, increasing prices in the country. To overcome this effect, the government launched a program for its citizens to purchase goods on credit cards with drop-in interest rates by 20 basis points.
