To wrap child components with additional functionality
To wrap child components with a higher-order component

Forwarding refs in Higher-Order Components (HOCs) is a technique for passing a ref from a parent component to its child components. This allows the child components to access the DOM node or React element that the ref is attached to. To forward a ref in an HOC, the HOC component should use the forwardRef() method to create a new component that can receive a ref. The new component can then be used to wrap the child components and pass the ref through to the child components.
