COVID-19 IMPACT

COVID-19 Pandemic Negatively Impacted Market Growth Due to Complete Closure of Manufacturing Facilities

The pandemic triggered widespread disruptions in U.S. supply chains. Factories and manufacturing facilities faced closures or reduced capacities, and transportation of goods was hampered. These challenges directly affected the production and distribution of these products, potentially leading to delays, shortages of inventory, and increased manufacturing costs. The construction and real estate sectors experienced fluctuations during the pandemic. This uncertainty in the construction industry directly impacted the demand for construction-related products, including products used in new projects or renovations. All the above-aforementioned factors restricted the U.S. faucet market growth.

Various manufacturers are providing products through numerous distribution channels, such as online and offline. The acceleration of online shopping led companies to enhance their e-commerce capabilities. Manufacturers and retailers invested in user-friendly online platforms, digital marketing, and improved customer service to reach consumers who were increasingly turning to online channels.

However, post COVID-19 impact with heightened awareness of health and hygiene, some companies pivoted their product lines to include items related to health and wellness. This includes products with touch-free technology or products emphasizing water conservation. For instance, In January 2022, Moen introduced smart faucets with hands-free operation, allowing users to control temperature and flow through gestures. All such factors are expected to contribute positively to market growth during the forecast period.
