Global Intraoral Cameras Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
Populations disproportionately affected by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) are also at higher risk of oral diseases and experience oral health and oral health care disparities at higher rates. The COVID-19 has led to the closure and reduced hours of dental practices except for emergency and urgent services, limiting routine care and prevention. Lockdown or shutdown was imposed in many countries, which had a negative impact on the economy of the private healthcare sector globally. This lockdown resulted in the closure of industrial establishments, except manufacturing of essential commodities, and disruption in the supply chain of products. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economy by directly affecting production and demand, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Supply chain and manufacturing activities in India, China, the U.S., and others have been disrupted due to lockdown whereas countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, and others are facing problems with the transportation of raw materials. Furthermore, healthcare providers were facing challenges in terms of additional manpower, equipment, consumables, and other resources, which are required to ensure safety in hospitals and provide treatment to patients with other diseases, which has also impacted the market negatively. Moreover, in March 2020, regulators and health authorities recommended that dental offices immediately stop seeing patients, except for emergency treatment.
