Every adversity has a silver lining and a prelude to the onset of all-pervasive technology intervention in the day-to-day life of commoners was a fundamental tailwind we have directly experienced out of the COVID-19 era.
A great shift in the consumer is taking place and the challenge now is to achieve a balance between the ongoing capacity expansion and the growing demand, to avoid overcapacity while still meeting rising demand from the major brands.
