The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry, mainly due to strict lockdowns in several regions. Private healthcare is one such sectors that has been impacted significantly by the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the dental suture market, owing to strict regulations imposed by governments.

Even though dental services resumed soon after the pandemic was controlled, fear among the target population and care providers regarding infection was persistent, which affected the market negatively.
