Global Implant & Prosthesis Fastener Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Egypt, and others faced problems regarding transportation of drugs from one place to another.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the global implant & prosthesis fastener market. The spread of coronavirus is negatively impacting the global implant & prosthesis fastener market as many surgeries such as spine surgeries, dental surgeries, etc. were cancelled or postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, in February 2021, according to an article published in the Journal of BioMed Central, the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the implantation of definitive prosthesis for a further 3 weeks due to the patient’s acute pulmonary distress. Thus, delays in the implantation of prostheses negatively affected the global implant and prosthesis fastener market.
