The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the sugar and confectionery product manufacturing market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Food and beverage manufacturers depend on the supply of raw materials from domestic and international suppliers. As many governments restricted the movement of goods across countries and locally, manufacturers had to halt production due to a lack of raw materials.

The outbreak had a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the sugar and confectionery products manufacturing market will recover from the shock over the forecast period as it is a 'black swan' event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy.
