Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Mosquito Traps Market
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the rising awareness of mosquito-borne diseases and risk associated with those diseases primarily drove the global mosquito traps market. However, the consumer goods industry experienced an adverse impact of the pandemic during the first quarter of 2020. The crisis led to social distancing restrictions and economic fallout, restricting mosquito traps manufacturing and distribution.
Moreover, low-income and mid-income consumers faced financial difficulties in the initial months of 2020 owing to the economic recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, people only purchased groceries, critical medical products, and primary essential products, which declined the sales of mosquito traps.
