Several key industry participants focus on offering such products to attract eco-conscious consumers and accelerate product sales, positively influencing the global art & craft tools market trends.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Supply Chain Disruptions Caused by COVID-19 Pandemic Impeded Market Growth


The pandemic in 2020 led to the closure of workshops, educational institutes, art events, and studios, negatively impacting the demand for these tools. The absence of in-person art gatherings limited the need for these tools. Moreover, the cancellation or postponement of art exhibitions, events, and craft fairs due to government regulations negatively impacted the global market growth.


The supply chain had a significant negative impact owing to inconsistent production, scheduling issues, and lack of clarity on transport and raw material supply. In addition, during the pandemic in 2020, lockdowns and emergency measures hampered the supply of raw materials across countries. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, at-home creative activities & hobbies and DIY projects became increasingly popular as self-expression and entertainment became the new norm across countries. However, the pandemic accelerated the adoption of virtual and digital art tools, restraining market growth. Furthermore, travel restrictions and international trade impacted the export of these tools, declining export sales.
