Shortage of Labor and Disruption in Import-Export Activities amid COVID-19 to Restrain Growth
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus has hurt the candle and fragrance market, owing to the implementation of lockdown and social distancing regulations. This has led to a shortage of labor that has resulted in reduced production volume and high cost of the product. For instance, according to the Economic Times data in May 2020, worker shortage is the biggest difficulty faced by the FMCG sector. Also, Godrej Consumer Product Ltd declared that it is requesting the government to bring back migrant workers by offering safe transportation and incentive. Additionally, Covid-19 has drastically reduced the import and export of goods and raw materials for domestic and international regions that is turning out to be a hampering factor for the production and consumption rate.
