The COVID-19 pandemic has spread in more than 200 countries around the world.  This pandemic has impacted several business sectors such as railways, construction, manufacturing, oil & gas, aviation, hospitality, and others. The governments in many countries were forced to impose nationwide lockdowns & restrictions in the wake of the pandemic affecting the economies of nations across the globe. The outbreak has also disrupted supply chains as the governments imposed travel bans. Many large-scale and medium-scale industries were closed and the commercial operations were temporarily shut or postponed. Moreover, the closure of schools and colleges also caused a steep decline in power consumption globally, giving further rise to a reduction in demand for power monitoring systems in facilities.   

The manufacturing industries of such systems are dependent on imports, which further causes uncertainty in manufacturing. The travel and movement restriction disrupted the supply chain significantly and could substantially impact the global forecast.
