Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Rice Flour Market

Before the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak, the rice flour market was mainly driven by the rising consumption of healthy food products such as bread, cookies, biscuits, cakes, and pastries; snacks; beverages and their availability at affordable prices across multiple retail channels. However, owing to the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, many industries faced unprecedented challenges. During the initial phase of the pandemic, the food & beverages industry faced a decline in profits due to the shutdown of manufacturing units and supply chain disruption. The COVID-19 pandemic disturbed the manufacturing processes of various packaged food and beverages, including bakery products, sweets and snacks, beverages, and baby food, owing to restrictions imposed by government authorities in various countries. Moreover, the shutdown of food service outlets due to lockdowns and travel restrictions during the initial months of the COVID-19 outbreak hampered the sales of various ingredients, such as rice flour. Furthermore, as the supermarket chains remained closed during the first quarter of 2020, the retail sales of packaged food and beverages were reduced, which hindered the sales of rice flour.
