The Covid 19 pandemic has hit the entire world. Thousands of industries have been affected throughout the planet by the restrictions and delays that have been imposed.
Obviously, the wood industry isn’t an exception, so in this new article on our blog, we will tell you about the effects of the pandemic. Luckily, it seems to be already coming to an end.
Delay in deliveries
It is logical to think that, in such an exceptional situation for everyone, businesses would see their customs modified. Whether due to security decisions made by the bosses themselves or due to government impositions, the truth is that, many times, we have seen suppliers inform us of delays or even cancellations in deliveries.
With routes and ports closed, a ban on circulation, and a reduction in staff, all logistics processes were drastically affected.
Lack of staff working
Unfortunately, Covid 19 affected all people equally. It doesn’t matter if they were healthy men and women or rich or poor. This highly contagious disease prevented, on many occasions, all factory personnel from being available to work.
In addition, in many cases, companies had to respect distancing measures, so the capacity in closed places such as factories was reduced, delaying production.
Prices increase
Having listed these reasons, you do not have to be a financial genius to notice that, in the face of so many difficulties, prices would not remain immobile.
You should know, in almost all products and services, the 2020-2022 period has been one of great inflation. Now, with the entire planet normalizing, we can believe that these variables will stabilize in the future.
Hardwood floors are trending!
Something positive that the pandemic left us was that society noticed the need to reconnect with nature.
In addition to the fact that many city dwellers decided to continue their lives in the countryside, many others chose to remodel their homes with more natural products, and there is nothing more natural than wood!
Because of it, wood floors and furniture are now a trend. They provide a feeling of comfort and warmth that can hardly be found in other materials.
As much as the scenario does not seem encouraging at all, it is gratifying to know that we are already leaving behind this difficult stage of humanity. Thanks to vaccination, today we have a very different picture and the possibility of predicting an encouraging future.
