The COVID-19 outbreak has affected the world severely and its impact is still being felt in several countries across the globe. Until the outbreak of COVID-19, the crane industry was witnessing considerable growth in many regions; however, the pandemic led to notable decline in the adoption of Automated Overhead Craness, including bridge cranes, gantry cranes, monorail cranes, and jib cranes. Owing to the containment measures such as business shutdown, lockdowns, and travel restrictions, the production and supply chain of Automated Overhead Craness was adversely impacted. As many countries strictly implemented containment measures to control the surging number of COVID-19 cases, the trading activities were majorly affected, which further impacted the manufacturing of Automated Overhead Craness from the supply side till 2020. However, over the last quarter of 2020, many trade operations have started picking pace and the market players have begun experiencing some growth in the demand for Automated Overhead Craness.
