India Fertility Monitor – 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. According to the World Health Organization’s report, the manifestation of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has resulted in over 162 million infected individuals worldwide as of May 16, 2021. Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and lockdown in various countries across the globe such as the U.S., European countries, and India has impacted the financial status of businesses in all sectors. The private healthcare sector is one of the sectors, which has been majorly impacted by the pandemic. The lockdowns in various countries such as India have created an economic burden on the private healthcare sector. Healthcare providers are facing challenges with regards to manpower, equipment, consumables, and other resources to ensure safety of patients with other diseases, and declining outpatients’ visits, among others. Moreover, the pandemic has negatively impacted the development, production, and supply of medical device, and affected growth of the healthcare segment of various companies in India. This has led to closure of industrial establishments, except manufacturing of essential commodities and disruption in supply chain of fertility monitor devices.
India Fertility Monitor Market - Restraint
Lesser precision of the fertility monitor devices such as ovulation prediction devices and fertility monitor devices is expected to hinder growth of the India fertility monitor market. According to the Apollo Fertility Centers, the fertility centers in India in 2021 stated some of the drawbacks such as lack in predicting the exact date of ovulation and other factor of the fertility monitoring devices. Females aged above 40 have high level of luteinized hormone, as they are close to menopause and thus ovulation prediction kits may fail to detect the ovulation period in females mainly above age 40
