The effect of COVID-19 pandemic situation has had a serious impact on the society and overall economy of the world. The impact of COVID-19 is growing by the day and affecting the supply chain of the industries. The coronavirus pandemic is increasing uncertainty among consumers buying behavior, thus slowing the supply chain, increasing panic among customers, and reducing business confidence. The automotive industry was affected due to the COVID-19 outbreak and is presently reeling under extensive uncertainty. Additionally, closure of manufacturing plants and suspension of operations have affected the automotive industry, which in turn, have negatively affected the light vehicle axle system market.
Majority of the automakers claimed massive declines in sales and production. For instance, leading automotive companies such as Hyundai, Honda, and Toyota have experienced a decline of 20 to 30 percent, due to less incentives and limited inventories, which is holding back the sales of light vehicles. The rapid spread of COVID-19 and the implementation of lockdown in the US had a substantial impact on the freight availability and the movement of goods. The demand for Light commercial vehicle (LCV) decreased in 2019 and is under pressure, due to the axle load norms and economic slowdown.
As per Growth Market Reports industry analyst Vidya Jadhav “The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the US light vehicle axle system market. The lockdowns, along with the financial implications of tackling coronavirus, have had a negative impact on the light commercial vehicle (LCV) sales. Increase in price sensitivity has increased the price of vehicles; therefore, putting the manufacturers at a great disadvantage. Travel restrictions and quarantines are affecting millions of people and have left factories worldwide without work and raw materials. This has disrupted the fair-time supply chain and affected the production of vehicles in US.”
