COVID-19 Impact Analysis
Due to the pandemic, stakeholders across the envelope sealing machines industry have seen a notable impact as all the production work, factories and other activities were closed. As a result, production was hindered by halts and supply chain disruption globally. After the pandemic, the governments still impose various restrictions, such as working with half the workforce and fewer operating hours hindering the production cycle of the market. The closing of offices, institutes and government offices has reduced the postal services, impacting the demand for envelope sealing machines.
However, the market is expected to recover after the pandemic, with sectors aiming to work with higher production rates to recover from the incorporated losses. This crisis has also displayed the danger of relying on digital communication; about 15% of EU citizens have inadequate access to the internet. It is therefore vital for the continues to support the universal postal service in every country. There have been positive signs in the industry creating trust in the industry. For example, more than 15% of envelope production is used for medical deliveries in the U.S. Such scenarios are expected to stabilize the envelope sealing machine market in the present situation.
