What was the impact of COVID-19 on Silicon Nitride Market?
The COVID-19 pandemic has badly impacted national revenue growth, including the slowdown of critical trade activities across several countries. The primary factor behind this slowdown is various countermeasures adopted by respective governments to curb the trajectory of this virus. As significant economies enforce precautionary lockdowns, a considerable gap between market supply and demand is created, resulting in increased difficulties for manufacturers and distributors to manage their respective operations effectively. This is also a factor that is anticipated to influence prospects for revenue growth. This can result in limiting the demand and revenue growth for this target market. There has been a severe impact on most industries, except life support, medical supplies, and silicon nitride.
