U.S. Biochip Product & Services Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease 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 are facing problems with the transportation of drugs from one place to another.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the U.S. Biochip Product & Services market. For instance, in September 2022, an article published in the National Library of Medicine in 2022, reported Biochips under COVID-19 Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has placed a heavy burden on the U.S. healthcare system. Biochips for protein examination are the rapid COVID-19 antigen home testing strip (lateral flow chip) and the SARS-CoV-2 proteome microarray.
