COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic led to a steep decline in consumer electronics market revenues owing to a drop in sales amidst the lockdown conditions. As lockdown mandates were put in place by multiple nations it made it impossible to run manufacturing facilities due to a lack of labor and disrupted demand and supply chains.

However, the work-from-home trend that emerged during this pandemic has aided the market to recover some losses as sales of residential consumer electronics saw a surge in demand in 2020. Lockdowns resulted in the closure of multiple sales and distribution channels and this negatively impacted consumer electronics market growth.

The consumer electronics market is anticipated to make a good comeback in the post-pandemic era as restrictions are lifted and the world returns to normalcy. Consumer electronics companies are anticipated to run manufacturing facilities at full capacity to compensate for losses that were incurred in 2020 due to downtime.
