COVID-19 Impact on Gluten-Free Snacks Market

The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a moderate and unfavourable market impact. Manufacturers are unable to procure raw materials and produce goods to meet demand due to limited supply chain activities. Furthermore, due to government initiatives such as lockdowns, manufacturing plants came to a halt due to a lack of available labour. Due to the limited international trading activities, global companies face challenges in importing and exporting end products. All of these factors have had a negative impact on the supply chain as a whole, and thus on the market. However, following the pandemic, the market for gluten-free products is expected to grow optimistically, owing to an increase in consumers preferring gluten-free and other free-from foods as a result of the pandemic.

Expected Impact of Economic Slowdown on the Pricing and Availability of Products

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the tractor business experienced a sharp drop, with the dealership network being the most affected due to supply chain disruptions and manufacturing units that were not fully operational. Due to travel restrictions, production was delayed and supply was disrupted, resulting in a sharp decrease in tractor sales during 2019-2020.
