reported just last month that 26% of all physical albums sold in the U.S. in 2019 were vinyl.-- founder and president of the California-based vinyl pressing plant Capsule Labs -- noted that while it is "too soon to know" how badly the plant's destruction will affect vinyl supply, he predicts the incident "will cause a hindrance in some major way" before a solution can be found.

Also weighing in on the fire via social media was Duplication, a Canadian company that offers vinyl pressing, among other services. In a , the company wrote that the Apollo plant’s destruction is a “disaster” for the vinyl pressing industry, noting the lacquer shortage resulting from the fire could possibly result in “plants having to close or scale back operations.”
