MAA reported sales volume for January 2021 was 51% lower than December 2020 because traffic volume to showrooms dropped due to the enforcement of MCO, most customers had been bought forward in December 2020 resulting in lower stocks in January 2021 for some companies and impact from shutdown of some part suppliers due to Covid-19, resulting in short supply of components and parts for some companies.
MAA assumed that sales volume for February 2021 is expected to be lower than January 2021 due to short working month.
