China Orthosis and Prosthetics Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The World Health Organization (WHO) designated the illness caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which first appeared in Wuhan (province of Hubei, China), in the last months of 2019, as "coronavirus disease 2019" or COVID-19. This virus spreads quickly, and had a serious negative impact on the economies, social behaviors, and healthcare of every country in the world.
COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to the lockdown, several countries such as India, China, Brazil, and others faced problems regarding the transportation of things from one place to another.
COVID-19 had negative impact on the demand for orthosis and prosthetics, and manufacturing processes of other medical devices especially in China. For instance, Ottobock, a leading global manufacturer of orthotic and prosthetic devices, faced significant challenges due to the pandemic. The company relies on a global supply chain to source components for its devices. The company sources certain components from suppliers in countries that were heavily affected by the pandemic. This led to delays in the production of Ottobock's devices.Furthermore, the restrictions on international shipping made it difficult for Ottobock to transport components from its suppliers to its manufacturing facilities.
