However, the use of modern fishing equipment and techniques is causing various adverse effects on ocean environments, including the disruption of sea floors, alteration of food webs, and the disturbance of crucial ecosystem functions. Additionally, abandoned or lost fishing gears pose a significant threat to marine life and contribute significantly to plastic pollution in oceans, rivers, and ponds. These forgotten fishing gears can ensnare animals and cause further damage. Consequently, the detrimental effects of modern fishing equipment disrupt marine environments and hinder the growth of the fishing equipment market.

The outbreak of the coronavirus has had a significant impact on the fishing equipment industry, affecting all stages of the supply chain and value chain. Moreover, COVID-19 has influenced consumer behavior regarding the purchase of fishing equipment products on a global scale, resulting in a decline in the fishing equipment market.
