The European region witnessed a varying impact of the COVID-19 pandemic across its economically diverse countries. For instance, countries such as Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and France imposed stringent government restrictions and closed their borders to curb the virus spread. Additionally, countries such as Italy, Russia, and Spain witnessed a significant surge in cases, which led them to shut down business and manufacturing operations for a few months. However, numerous European countries witnessed swift recovery from quarter 4 of 2020. Irrespective of the surge in the number of COVID-19 cases and the shutdown of business operations for months, manufacturers had to continue the production of essential products, resuming it earlier than other businesses. However, since the travel activities were closed and theme parks and public places such as offices and corporate buildings were shut down, the virtual queue management system market was heavily impacted.
