Moreover, owing to the increasing urbanization and growing real estate sector, parking spaces are becoming limited. Several car owners have to park their cars on the road.

However, the global car covers market has been challenged by the coronavirus pandemic, and the slight effects of the pandemic may continue to be experienced over the coming years. The COVID-19 crisis has affected the supply and demand of products, although for a short term. Investors are skeptical whether the upsurge in product spending will alter or remain the same. Regardless of some disturbances caused by COVID-19 lockdown measures across the globe, the long-term growth potential of the sector remains unharmed. The current situation of lockdown in several countries is driving the demand for car covers, as people have no option but to park their cars outside. The cars are already unfunctional. Hence car covers help them from the further damage that can be caused by many external factors such as dust, dirt, UV rays, rains, snow, and birds falling.
Moreover, in some developing countries, there is a lack of awareness about the importance of car covers among consumers, which can hamper the growth of the car covers market. The per capita income of the middle and lower-middle-class population in developing countries is less compared to developed countries. Thus, the consumers with lower income do not consider car accessories as a priority that may restrict the spending on car covers, subsequently hindering the growth of the car covers market.
