COVID-19 Impact on Global Cat Litter Box Market

The spread of coronavirus led to enforcement of the lockdown to curb the spread of the deadly virus. This led to travel restrictions and supply chain disruptions, which in turn affected the manufacturing of cat litter boxes. However, some players continued the manufacturing but with a minimal workforce in line with the rules and norms set by the governments across the geographies. The demand for cat litter boxes increased as a result of growing awareness among pet owners regarding cat hygiene amid lockdown. Also, the cat owners were willing to spend more on odour-controlling products.
