COVID-19 Impact

The global economic shutdown and production disruptions due to covid-19 pandemic affected the growth of orbital stretch wrapper market. The disrupted production activities, supply and demand gap, logistics disturbances, and other lockdown restrictions led to fall in growth in the market. The orbital stretch wrapper has applications in packaging sector, electronics, and others. The packaging industry was majorly affected in the COVID-19 outbreak. The demand for packaging in transportation and industrial activities saw a major decline. The closure of foodservice outlets, hotels, and restaurants led to decline in the demand for packaging in food sector. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the food service sector declined by 16.9% in 2020 compared to the previous year. Furthermore, the supply chain was disrupted and did not fulfill the rising demand for packaging in healthcare. Thus, with falling demand for packaging industry in the outbreak, the applications of orbital stretch wrappers such as lumber, furniture, pipes, and other packaging forms saw a decline. Thus, the orbital stretch wrapper market saw a fall in demand in the covid-19 outbreak phase.
