Impact of Coronavirus Outbreak on Different Sectors of the Economy

Automotive Industry

Challenged by already weak growth rates in 2019, the automotive sector is estimated to be heavily impacted by the coronavirus outbreak. With all manufacturing coming to a standstill and temporary closures of plants due to collapsing demand and supply shortages, the effect of the coronavirus outbreak on the automotive industry is unprecedented. Here’s Infiniti’s industry expert insights into how automotive manufacturers can bounce back from the repercussions of COVID-19.

Pharmaceutical Industry

The coronavirus outbreak has compelled significant pharma companies across the world to bring operations to a complete stop, resulting in a palpable short-term impact. Besides, the novel coronavirus outbreak could also derail thousands of ongoing drug trials that companies in the pharmaceutical industry are running to test new drugs. As such, pharmaceutical companies need to act swiftly to build organizational resilience, address talent management risks, and drive clear communication with suppliers.

Logistics Sector

The initiatives undertaken by governments in different countries to prevent the spread of coronavirus, such as lockdown and social distancing, are impacting the demand for goods and causing a threat to the global supply chain. To gain a competitive advantage in the long-run, companies in the logistics industry will need to understand their direct supply chains and the inherent risks they may be exposed to at the secondary or tertiary supplier and customer levels.
