Burns refer to the tissue damage caused by heat, overexposure to sunlight, radiation, as well as due to chemical or electrical contact. Burns can cause minor medical issues as well as life-threatening emergencies. The treatment for burns is determined by the location and severity of the injury. Sunburns and minor scalds are usually treatable at home. However, deep or extensive burns necessitate immediate medical attention. Some patients require treatment at specialized burn centers as well as months of follow-up care. Burns are classified into three types based on severity- first degree, second degree, and third degree burns.
Burn ointment is a topical medication that is applied to the burnt area of the body. Antibiotic ointments and creams are used to help in the prevention of infections. Applying an antibacterial ointment such as Bacitracin or Neosporin, as well as covering the burn with cling film or a sterile, non-fluffy dressing or cloth, aids in the healing of first or second degree burn wounds. In patients with second- and third-degree burns, ointments including silver sulfadiazine cream is used to prevent and treat wound infections.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak was first reported on December 31, 2019, in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as pandemic on March 11, 2020. According to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Weekly Epidemiological Update by the World Health Organization, over 182 million cases and 3.95 million deaths due to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) were reported till July 2, 2021, across the globe.
Impact of COVID-19 on Demand and Supply of Burn Ointment
The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in various countries across the globe have impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors including private healthcare sector. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry mainly due to strict lockdown in several regions. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economy of various regions across the globe in three main ways; 1) by directly affecting the production and demand; 2) by creating disruptions in distribution channels; and 3) through its financial impact on companies and financial markets.

For instance, according to electronic medical record (EMR) data from Epic Health Research Network (EHRN) in the U.S., the decrease in hospital admissions from March 8 to December 5, 2020 accounted for 8.5 percent of the total expected admissions for the entire year. Moreover, according to same source, it was noted that, as COVID-19 cases increased in November 2020, non-COVID-19 hospitalizations began to decline. The non-COVID hospitalizations decreased by 80% by the end of the month. This is expected to hamper the growth of global burn ointment market.
The global burn ointment market is estimated to be valued at US$ 915.7 Mn in 2021, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.1 % over the forecast period (2021-2028).

The results showed that using Centiderm ointment improved not only the objective and subjective signs of burns in less than 3 days, but the subjects also demonstrated re-epithelialization and complete healing without any infections. This demonstrated that topical treatment of Centiderm could be used in the treatment for partial thickness burn wounds.

A burn occurs when skin tissue is damaged by heat, chemicals, sunlight, electricity, or radiation. The majority of burns are caused due to accidents. There are various degrees of burns- first degree, second degree and third degree burns. First-degree burns are minor (like most sunburns). The top layer of skin (epidermis) turns red and painful, but it usually does not blister. Second-degree burns affect the top and bottom layers of the skin (dermis). Pain, redness, swelling, and blistering are all possible side effects. Third-degree burns affect all three layers of the skin: the epidermis, dermis, and fat.
Burn ointment is a topically administered treatment applied on the burnt area of our body and is available in the form of gels, creams, oils and sprays. After cooling the burn injury with water, burn ointments are applied to heal the burn wounds. The types of ointment used depends upon the severity of burns. For example, some people use aloe vera gel as a home remedy to treat sunburns. While antibiotic creams are used to treat thermal burns. However, for the treatment of second and third degree burns, the healthcare provider may prescribe a stronger antibiotic cream containing silver, such as silver sulfadiazine, to prevent possible bacterial infections.
