COVID-19 Analysis

The COVID-19 originated in early 2020 in Wuhan, China, and rapidly spread across the globe. The worldwide cases have surpassed 235 million and continue to rise. The pandemic forced lockdown situations across all major economies. It imposed numerous restrictions such as travel barriers, closure of shops and markets, work-from-home orders, import-export ban, and others. The COVID-19 outbreak has affected millions of people across the globe and has negatively impacted the global economy, causing global supply systems to collapse. Factory shutdowns throughout the world have impacted the industry's supply chains. The continuous spread of COVID-19 in 2020 has decreased the global GDP growth and trade volumes, lowering commodities prices. Furthermore, production units in the industries have closed down due to the restrictions placed, and there has been a sharp reduction in footfall, with a significant impact on sales. One of the most interesting aspects of the pandemic crisis is that, for several companies, the pandemic was more of an accelerator than an obstacle. Remote work, digital economy, supply chain enhancements, automation, and enhanced customer experience have changed the technology spending among organizations.
