COVID-19 Impact on the Worldwide Casino Gaming Equipment Market
In an attempt to restrict the spread of COVID-19, government officials in many developing and developed countries have imposed rigorous measures such as partial or full lockdowns. The manufacture of casino gaming equipment and the provision of related facilities were restricted to permissible limitations during the lockdown. Several retail outlets and e-commerce sites were closed during the duration of the lockdown. These factors have harmed the global economy and the casino gaming equipment industry. The availability of such equipment was severely limited, resulting in a significant demand-supply disparity. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the supply chains of various casino gaming equipment manufacturers throughout the world, hampering business growth. Several companies are also suffering liquidity issues, which could result in the complete shutdown of their manufacturing plants. Financially strong businesses, on the other hand, were able to maintain operations after the pandemic. The global demand for and availability of goods is critical to the growth of the casino gaming equipment industry.
According to the MRFR analysis, the greater risk of a global economic slowdown in the coming year will put extra pressure on demand for casino gaming equipment. Gaming Partners International, Inc. (US), International Game Technology PLC (UK), Scientific Games Corporation (US), and Konami Holdings Corporation (Japan) are among the top industry participants predicted to account for considerable market shares in terms of revenue. The market was expected to level off by the fourth quarter of 2020. With demand likely to progressively stabilize throughout the projection period, industry participants are projected to enhance their production capacities.
