Global Diphtheria vaccine Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns in various countries across the globe have impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors, including the private healthcare sector. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry, mainly due to strict lockdown in several regions. Private healthcare is one such sector that has been impacted significantly by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Furthermore, healthcare providers were facing challenges in terms of additional manpower, equipment, consumables, and other resources which were required to ensure safety in hospitals and provide treatment to patients with other diseases. This has impacted the overall healthcare market negatively.
During the COVID 19 pandemic, the diphtheria vaccine market was significantly impacted due to increase in the demand for vaccines and decrease in the supply for diphtheria vaccines due to restrictions imposed by government during COVID-19. For instance, according to the WHO (world health organization), on May 22, 2025, it is estimated that 80 million children are under risk of at least one of such diseases such as diphtheria, measles and polio as COVID-19 disrupts routine vaccination.
