Global Burn Care and Wound Care Market – Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic
COVID-19 outbreak was first reported on December 31, 2019, in Wuhan, China. According to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Weekly Epidemiological Update by the World Health Organization, over 523 million cases and 6.3 million deaths due to Coronavirus (COVID-19) were reported up till May 22, 2022, across the globe.
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected several markets across the globe and it is expected to have a similar impact on the global burn care and wound care market, owing to lockdowns in several countries across the world and disruptions in supply of raw materials required for burn care and wound care products production. Lockdowns in various countries have placed an economic burden on the private healthcare sector. Healthcare providers are facing challenges in terms of availability of manpower, equipment, consumables, and other resources to ensure safe treatment of patients with other diseases, and declining outpatient visits among others.
