Impact of covid-19 on the Global Mechanical Locks Market

The advent of the global pandemic, COVID-19, has resulted in a global crisis across the world. The outbreak has disrupted the growth of real estate across the globe. Mechanical locks are used for security purposes. The global market for locks has been growing due to the deployment of security-based products such as mechanical and digital locks in residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. The increasing security concerns across all the world are driving the need for high-security locking systems in residential and commercial spaces. The sale of mechanical locks is highly dependent on the real estate sector. The real estate sector has witnessed substantial growth over the last few years in the emerging economies, which helped increase the sales of mechanical locks. Rapid urbanization also expected to increase the growth of the mechanical locks market. However, due to the increasing positive cases of COVID-19 patients globally, several governments have decided to lock down borders to minimize the spread of COVID-19. So, the construction process has stopped over the last couple of months, which is anticipated to create a major impact on the Mechanical Locks Market. Both residential and commercial sectors are expected to face a major downfall during the lockdown period as well as in the near future. One of the significant factors reducing the demand from the residential sector is the decreasing per capita disposable income of the consumers during the lockdown period. Additionally, many banks have started reducing the interest rate in a savings account in several emerging economies. For instance, in April 2020, the Indian government has announced a reduction in the interest rates on the Public Provident Fund (PPF), which is anticipated to reduce the per capita income of Indian consumers. Additionally, India’s largest bank, State Bank of India (SBI), has reduced fixed deposit rates as well. Thus, the per capita disposable income of Indian consumers is expected to be reduced in the upcoming quarters. Furthermore, the construction process will be stopped in several countries owing to the lack of workers. Thus, many of the projects will not be completed in the stipulated period. The usage of mechanical locks will be limited across the globe. Moreover, the decreasing growth of the hospitality industry has negatively impacted the growth of the mechanical locks market during the study period. Additionally, the import & export activities are strictly prohibited in the majorly infected countries, which restricts the growth of the global mechanical locks market.

Market Snapshot:

The global mechanical locks market research is estimated to demonstrate 4.80% CAGR owing to the augmenting demand for weatherproof padlocks in the marine applications, asserts Market Research Future (MRFR). The global market is also predicted to garner USD 8.52 billion during the forecast period (2018-2023). Mechanical locks are usually used for security purposes. Electronic locking devices require mechanical lock during any power failure or system error. With ever-increasing security concerns across the globe, the need for high-security locking systems is expected to boom in commercial as well as residential spaces.

The global mechanical locks market is expanding at a significant rate owing to several factors. The augmenting demand for waterproof padlocks in marine applications is predicted to flourish the mechanical locks market during the assessment period. Weatherproof padlocks protect against rust and grit as they are equipped with a plastic jacket and a guarded keyway. For instance, Draper Tools Ltd. has offered 42 MM resettable, 45 MM laminated steel, 48 MM resettable, and 54 MM laminated steel padlocks.

With the rising consumer preference for deadbolt locks, the market for mechanical locks is expected to trigger. Deadbolts provide a higher level of protection than doorknobs with pin tumbler locks due to its hardened steel bolts and advanced mechanism, thereby propelling the market growth for mechanical locks market during the assessment period. Moreover, several market players have developed various kinds of deadbolts for level one or level two security. For instance, Assa, which is a subsidiary of Assa Abloy, has offered two levels of security with 7000 and 6000 series grade 1 and the M80 and M90 series grade 2 deadbolt locks that come with the pick-resistant Assa cylinder.

However, with the increasing applications of smart locks, the global market for mechanical locks market is expected to experience a gradual slowdown. Consumers are shifting their preferences from mechanical locks to smart locks as they offer networked access control. This is anticipated to restrain the market growth during the appraisal period.

Segmental Analysis:

The global mechanical locks market has been segmented on the basis of product type, grade, raw materials, and by region.

Based on product type, the global mechanical locks market has been segmented into mortise locks, cylindrical locks, deadbolt, padlocks, and others. Among these, the mortise locks segment is considered to witness a CAGR of 5.03% during the assessment period. On the other hand, deadbolt segment is estimated to witness a CAGR of 5.41%, during the appraisal period.

Based on grade, the global mechanical locks market has been segmented into grade 1, grade 2, and grade 3. Among these, the grade 1 locks provide the highest security level and are rated for applications where they experience heavy use such as in schools, hospitals, and public buildings.
