COVID-19 Impacts:

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a global health emergency that was unprecedented and difficult to manage. As a precaution, most of the region's major economies enforced a harsh and abrupt nationwide lockdown, effectively halting financial activity in the region. The abrupt closure wreaked havoc on the labor-intensive and highly unpredictable construction industry. This aspect also hampered global market sales and development by reducing new construction and upgrading operations. The market's expansion was slowed by lower cash liquidity, uncertainty in state investments, and a gloomy attitude among established potential investors. The disruption and complete breakdown of the manufacturing ecosystem's supply chain shifted the market's decline across numerous areas. A temporary prohibition has been imposed by a number of federal governments. The government issued urgent measures to halt non-essential commodity movement, resulting in a large gap between the procurement of raw materials for products and actual production at manufacturing facilities. The industry's efficiency and productivity have been harmed by a complete mismatch between supply and demand for basic resources.
