Global Chronic Aspergillosis Treatment Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, investigators in Spain and the U.S. added 20 new case reports to mounting evidence that patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are at risk of developing pulmonary aspergillosis. The coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic and lockdown in various countries across the globe have impacted the financial status of businesses in all sectors. Private healthcare sector is one of the sectors, which is majorly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, coronavirus pandemic has negatively impacted the development, production, and supply of pharmaceutical products and affected growth of the medication used in treatment of chronic aspergillosis such as antifungal drugs and corticosteroids manufactured by various companies across the regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific. The supply and production of pharmaceutical products is also affected due to COVID-19 pandemic lockdown imposed globally. This lockdown has resulted in closure of industrial establishments, except manufacturing of essential commodities, and disruption in supply chain of the pharmaceutical products. Thus, COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economy in three main ways; 1) By directly affecting the production and demand; 2) By creating disruptions in distribution channels; and 3) By its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Thus, the impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is expected to limit growth of the global chronic aspergillosis treatment market during the forecast period

Global Chronic Aspergillosis Treatment Market: Restraint

The major factors that are expected to hinder growth of the global chronic aspergillosis treatment market include increasing generic competition and complications associated with drugs used in the treatment of chronic aspergillosis. For instance, in November 2016, Ajanta Pharma, a pharmaceutical company, launched voriconazole tablets in 50-mg and 200-mg doses in the U.S. market. These tablets are the equivalent generic version of Vfend, an antifungal drug from Pfizer. Vfend is used to treat conditions such as invasive aspergillosis, candidemia, and serious infections caused by Scedosporium apiospermum and Fusarium species.
