Nowadays, people are choosing high-quality cutting boards made of tempered glass or marble over wooden or plastic ones because they are more aware of the importance of eating healthily and how it affects daily life.

As the sales are rising, the raw material prices are also getting lower, encouraging local manufacturers to enter the competition.

Due to COVID-19 outbreak, the lockdown was initiated worldwide. This lockdown had really bad impact on all the business. The main market of cutting board manufacturers were hospitality and restaurant businesses. As lockdown was called effective, all these business were closed for almost a year.

Along with falling sales and low demands of cutting boards, COVID-19 made people aware of good hygiene and healthy lifestyle. The awareness led to increased use of boards made of sturdy and bacteria resistant, easy-to-clean material like glass, metal or marble.

The colour coding of cutting boards in another technique to prevent contamination and be safe, but there are chances that bacteria might find their way in the food. This change in preference led to decrease in plastic and wooden cutting boards demand, but increased demand for metal and marble boards, despite their high costs. These changes in trends and reduced demand are restraining the cutting board market.
