COVID 19 has Affected the growth of the Ceramic Sanitary Ware Industry

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted the global economy, affecting three major sectors: production, demand, and the, supply chain. This has resulted in a significant impact on the local economy, and the global trade and finance sectors. The current state of COVID-19 has prevented most manufacturers from completing ongoing projects in the construction sector, severely hampering the industry's growth.

The increase in the demand for the products is attributed to the fact that they are increasingly used in residential buildings. As such, countries with high growth in the real estate market are likely to fuel the growth of the ceramic sanitary ware industry. Although the market is a big one, COVID 19 is a challenge to the industry. It has, however, posed several opportunities for manufacturers, including a stronger currency exchange rate.
