Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Bromelain Market

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Before the pandemic, many countries were experiencing growth in various industrial sectors such as food and beverages and the personal care industry. This favors the bromelain market. However, a severe disruption in the supply chain, including the distribution of food products, was witnessed after the onset of COVID-19. The disruption in the supply chain also created a significant shortage of raw materials, hampering the production activities of various bromelain manufacturers worldwide. Delays in the supply chain were particularly troublesome for raw materials due to delayed transportation during the pandemic-induced lockdowns, which affected the product quality and value of shipments received by importing countries. Due to supply chain disruptions, raw material and labor shortages, and operational difficulties, there was a demand and supply gap that affected the global bromelain market growth.

However, in 2021, governments of various countries relaxed the previously imposed restrictions including lockdowns and trade bans. Manufacturers could operate with full capacity which helped them to overcome the demand and supply gap. These factors had a positive impact on the bromelain market growth
