COVID-19 Impact on Ear Muffs Market
The ear muff market has been significantly impacted by the current Covid-19 situation, as production in this sector has ceased due to the worldwide lockdown, as well as shrinking investments and the halting of new projects by the industries. As the industrial sector was shut down during the lockdown, the ear muff market was also shut down because the product's end use was hampered in the early stages. Asian countries such as Japan, China, and India have a greater number of construction and real estate companies, and their respective governments are also actively improving infrastructure in various regions. Hearing protection devices such as earmuffs and earplugs are in high demand due to increased construction work sites that were put on hold due to COVID-19 emergence and lockdown. Ear muffs are in demand in industries such as steel and automobiles and construction sites.
