COVID-19 IMPACT: MARKET GROWTH RESTRAINED DUE TO SUPPLY CHAIN DISRUPTIONS

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the production printer market growth experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Market expansion was impacted by the pandemic's effects on supply chains, manufacturing halts, and decreased operational capacity. But as markets recovered and companies adjusted to their new, regular routines, economies started to revive. The gradual return to pre-pandemic operational levels and the increase in demand are what are responsible for the growth indicated by the rising CAGR.
