Global Tattoo Accessories Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic
COVID-19 has significantly disrupted the business of several industries including infrastructure, retail, manufacturing, and others. To combat the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the countries have implemented strict lockdowns and enforced restrictions on their domestic and international flight travels, so the monetary spending of people on leisure activities such as tattoo-making, clubbing etc. gets reduced, according to Coherent Market Insights.
The tattoo accessories industry has also been impacted significantly by COVID-19 pandemic, in terms of supply as well as demand. The sales for tattoo accessories had observed a sharp decline in the first two quarters of 2020 as the demand for tattooing declined rapidly with most tattoo parlors being shut amid COVID-19 pandemic. The tattoo ink, tattoo needles, and other tattoo accessory manufacturing companies were temporarily shut down due to the imposed lock-down, international border seal, and short-term imbalance in demand in many regions. Many ink manufacturing factories declared force majeure due to the low demand of the tattoo industries while bottlenecks persisted in the overall supply-chain of the tattoo related products in the first half of 2020. According to CMI’s analysis, more than 65% of tattoo parlor (shop) owners have reported that COVID-19 had directly impacted their revenue in 2020. All these factors have negatively impacted the growth of the global tattoo accessories market in the short term.
