The unprecedented spike in global unemployment has severely hampered the market growth of HCM.

In the wake of the coronavirus, the worldwide unemployment rate has reached an all-time high, limiting the market's potential. According to ADP, Inc., the private sector in U.S. lost 20 million jobs in April 2020.

However, companies have begun reopening amid this continuous pandemic, under extraordinary regulations and a new functioning that no one can anticipate when it will finish, in an attempt to recoup from this economic blow. Thus reopening of companies is expected to improve the employment percentage in various developing regions and hence expected to revive the HCM market share in the forecast period.
