COVID-19 has brought with it several changes — many of which have had a lasting impact on the manufacturing industry. At the onset of the pandemic, manufacturing saw significant shifts in demand. Some manufacturers, like those serving at-home workers, benefitted from a surge in demand, while others suffered steep drop-offs. For example, according to McKinsey, many manufacturers saw a drastic increase in demand for toilet paper for use at home as the pandemic set in, while demand significantly dropped for commercial toilet paper products.
