Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on North America Industrial Workwear Market Growth
In North America, the US recorded the highest number of COVID-19 cases, followed by Mexico. Disruption in manufacturing and raw material sourcing operations hampered the growth of the industrial workwear market in the region in the early months of 2020. In addition, overall disruptions in manufacturing and research & development activities led to the discontinuation of new developments in the industrial workwear market.
In 2021, the marketplace in North America started recovering from financial losses incurred in 2020. The US government revoked various social restrictions, which resulted in the reopening of manufacturing units with partial or full employee strength.
