An increase in market demand for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages has also been observed. There has been growing consumption of healthy and nutritive food products owing to rising awareness associated with nutrition, public initiatives against the spread of COVID-19, and an inclination towards preventive healthcare. However, the market has been impaired owing to operational challenges, disruption of the supply chain, and reduced workforce during the pandemic.
