COVID-19 Impact

The government instructions, like social distancing and lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, pushed industries to adopt robots to continue the production flow by following government instructions. For instance, according to the World Robotics 2021 report by IFR, the electrical and electronic industry witnessed the largest installation of industrial robots, 109,000 in 2020, increasing significantly after its decline from 89,000 in the previous years.

Throughout the world, the sensor sector has received considerable momentum in recent years, thanks in large part to the enormous amount of attention that Sensors have received in recent years. The COVID-19 epidemic, on the other hand, has caused roadblocks in the market's expansion, effectively putting the whole globe to a stop. Also with lockdown enforced as a result of the outbreak causing massive revenue damages to end-use sectors such as medical, automobile, technology, and other industries, sensor costs skyrocketed and demand plummeted, leading sensor prices to soar and demand to plummet
