Impact of COVID-19 on car care cosmetics market

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the growth of car care cosmetics market. During the initial lockdown phases, the sales of car care cosmetics declined drastically as people avoided unnecessary travels. With car usage restricted, the need for regular car cleaning and maintenance reduced significantly. Manufacturers faced disruptions in the supply chain and logistics due to border restrictions imposed by countries. This adversely affected the production and distribution of car care products.

As lockdowns are now being gradually lifted, the car care cosmetics market is showing signs of recovery. However, it will take some time to reach the pre-COVID sales levels. People are still avoiding unnecessary commutes using personal vehicles due to the fear of virus spread. This has negatively impacted the demand for car cleaning products. Manufacturers are focusing on online sales and doorstep delivery models to cater to customers during this period. They are also launching budget-friendly essential product ranges to aid customers in regular car maintenance with minimum expenses. Increased focus on sanitization is driving the sales of disinfectants that can be used for cleaning both interior and exterior parts of vehicles. In the coming years, growth in vehicle usage as economies reopen and innovations in sanitization-focused products are expected to boost the market.
