Impact of COVID-19 on the Trash Bags Market
The COVID-19 outbreak had a brief and minor impact on trash bag manufacturers. The abrupt shutdowns and lockdowns resulted in a temporary reduction in raw material availability for trash bag production, coupled with labor shortages and fluctuating material prices, negatively affecting production. However, as the pandemic progressed, an increased demand for trash bags emerged from the residential sector, driven by the necessity for preventive measures. Healthcare professionals, including doctors and nurses, utilized garbage sacks for added protection during patient care, indicating a potential surge in demand. Conversely, the commercial and industrial sectors experienced lower demand for trash bags in the early stages of the pandemic due to halted operations.
