Global Glycopeptide Antibiotics Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the glycopeptide antibiotics market. This included disruption in clinical trials, hurdles in patient recruitment for clinical trials, and canceled or delayed studies. However, the negative impact was gradually reduced by several strategic measures taken by governments, regulatory bodies, and market stakeholders to ensure the continuity of research and development (R&D) activities. Due to the urgent need for vaccines, diagnostics, and therapies, the clinical trials were restarted by employing social distancing techniques. Moreover, to support the clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccines and treatments, public organizations across the globe invested in research and development activities. For instance, according to an article published in BMJ Publishing Group Ltd., a U.K.-based publisher of medical journals, since January 2020, the U.K. government was found to be the largest funder of Oxford–AstraZeneca vaccine R&D, contributing £33,354,469 (US$ 36,762,962) (95.5%). Charitable funders accounted for £1,217,835 (US$ 1,342,286) (3.5%), the majority of which came from the Welcome Trust. Globally, most sites conducting clinical trials other than COVID-19 were found to experience delays in timelines. In some cases, clinical trials were found to reach a complete halt of operations, thus impacting clinical research outcomes. In March 2020, the U.S. FDA published a guidance document on the Conduct of Clinical Trials of Medical Products during the pandemic. Similar guidelines supported the recovery of the clinical trial operations and the number is expected to increase over time.
