Impact of COVID-19
The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the Global Solar Panel for Electric Vehicles and Chargers Market due to the lockdown imposed and restrictions on cross-border trade, disrupting the supply chain. Further, the temporary shutdown of large-scale manufacturing units and assembly plants throughout the world has negatively affected the production of solar panels.
The imposition of lockdown and stringent restriction rules undertaken by the government negatively influenced the overall growth of the automotive industry. However, as the government has started relaxing norms for resuming business activities, the Global Solar Panel for Electric Vehicles and Chargers Market is very likely to witness substantial growth in the forecast period.
