However, several positive factors, such as rising global demand, ongoing technological advancements, and increasing investment in automation and digitalization, continue to influence the market, and the outlook for manufacturing remains positive.

    While the Covid-19 pandemic has caused significant hardships for manufacturers, those that invested in digitalization and automation of their processes will be best positioned for long-term success. Manufacturers who can effectively balance cost pressures and maintain a strong focus on quality are likely to survive the current crisis and come out more resilient in the end.
