Covid-19 Impact:

The outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID19) severely restricted the food and beverage markets in 2020 as trade restrictions disrupted the supply chain and government blockades around the world reduced consumption. COVID 19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms such as fever, cough, and breathing difficulties. The virus was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, the People's Republic of China in 2019 and has spread worldwide, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. The onset of this “Black Swan” event made a huge dent in the global industrial lubricants market as businesses and factories shut, demand subsided, vehicles stopped, and everything came to a halt altogether. Although with economies opening up and the pent-up demand on hand, the Height-Adjustable Desks saw this event as a boon as many jobs shifted permanently to homes, many jobs permanently automated and what left was sitting jobs due to decreased physical activity of going to the office. All this added to the overall demand of height-adjustable desks. The market is poised to grow at a healthy 4.6% CAGR globally given the changing environment and focus on employee health by the organizations alongside awareness in employees about the importance of health.

Based on Type,

Currently, the demanding work culture compels employees and individuals to be seated for long hours, which has led to several health problems, such as the chronic problem of back soreness and severe backaches.

Contemporary Height-adjustable desks (or sit-stand desks) allow workers to shift easily from seated to standing positions.  They promise healthier, more comfortable, and productive workspace settings for those who use them. They have generated a lot of hype over the last few years and have quickly gone from office novelty to a permanent fixture in many modern workplaces. Industrial lubricants are explained as the fluid employed to lessen the wear and tear of materials and also to decrease friction. With the growth of sitting and white-collar jobs with the rest of things increasingly being automated, these desks come in handy at any workplace. The new culture of work from home is also a big anticipated growth factor for these desks as the work is not just limited to the office and has come into the homes of employees where they need to have the proper equipment so that their work does not hamper their health.

Beyond aches and pains, sitting all day can impact workers’ overall health. As the “sitting is the new smoking” saying continues to be bandied about, it’s no wonder the popularity of height-adjustable desks is rising exponentially. Another key factor contributing to this trend is that organizations are increasingly embracing workplace wellbeing. As this continues to take center stage, increased movement and less sedentary work practices are being actively encouraged.

The health benefits of height adjustable desks have been well documented. One study that stands apart is the year-long study “Stand Up to Work”, which is the first longitudinal study into the impact of using sit-stand desks. The study has shown that 47% of people with height-adjustable desks reported a significant reduction in the upper back, shoulder, or neck discomfort, and 65% of people said height-adjustable workstations positively impacted their health outside of the workplace. There are many other studied facts about the benefits of sit-stand desks including increased productivity, supporting a dynamic and agile workspace, increased focus of organizations on employee’s health, etc. All these factors and many others are a major cause for the increased popularity of these desks and increased automation and all jobs shifting towards requiring employees to sit through the day is expected to be the major driving force for the demand for height-adjustable desks.

The global Height-Adjustable Desks market size was valued at USD 4.5 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.75% from 2021 to 2028.
