Asia Pacific has suffered significantly due to the COVID-19 pandemic as it has some of the world’s biggest developing economies. China, being the hub of electronics manufacturing, has witnessed heavy losses in this sector due to COVID-19. Production of electronic devices was suspended because of logistics slowdown and the unavailability of workforce. Further, several e-commerce companies around the region have stopped supplying non-essentials.
