Global Sandwich Panels Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic:
While COVID-19 outbreak started in Wuhan, China during the last quarter of 2019, it has now spread to about 184 countries, including India due to international air commute. As of 28 April 2020, the global coronavirus cases has reached over 3.07 million, with still continuously increasing number of cases. Considering the situation, COVID-19 is declared as pandemic and the governments across the world have imposed complete lockdown as per the condition in their respective countries. Under this lockdown, all economic activities, except specific shops, such as medical shop, supermarkets, hospitals, ration stores, and few online stores, have come to a temporary standstill. This has also led to temporary halt in the global production as well as demand for sandwich panels, which is likely to continue till the lockdown is removed.
