Global Osteoporosis Treatment 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 had declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 has affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand of drugs and vaccines, 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, UAE, Egypt, and others, faced problems with regard to the transportation of drugs and vaccines from one place to another.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the osteoporosis treatment market, owing to disruption of fracture liaison services. Moreover, during the pandemic, hospitals and private health clinics cancelled non-emergency procedures and office visits, and several U.S. citizens postponed care to stop the spread of the virus, which further affected the osteoporosis market. A Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) acknowledged that by the end of June 2020, an estimated 41% of adults in the U.S. had delayed or avoided medical care including urgent or emergency care (12%) and routine care (32%) because of concerns or changes in healthcare delivery related to COVID-19.
