Market Growth to Remain Slower than Initial Predictions amid COVID-19 Pandemic
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic is anticipated to slow down the growth of the linear displacement sensor market in 2024. Stringent lockdown restrictions and restrictions on trade and transportation are among key factors that are likely to disrupt the supply chain in 2024. In addition, the industrial shutdown of various countries around the world, particularly China, in the first quarter of 2024, has led to severe shortage of raw materials and components that are required for the production of linear displacement sensors. The market is expected to show signs of recovery toward the last quarter of 2024, as lockdown restrictions are being gradually lifted in various regions worldwide.
