In 2020, three-wheelers sales declined in comparison to 2019 as countries around the world underwent strict lockdown in the second and third quarter of 2020 as a measure to counter the spread of the disease. The lockdown resulted in the temporary closing down of all factories, including three-wheeler manufacturing facilities, resulting in production loss of three-wheelers. Furthermore, the governments of most of the COVID-19 affected countries implemented social distancing norms that limited the number of workers working at any given point in the same facility. Such measures hampered the workflow of three-wheeler manufacturing facilities temporarily. As markets started to gradually open in 2020, the sales of three wheelers started to increase again, hence contributing to the recovery of the Global Three-Wheeler market recovery in the fiscal period 2021-2022.
