The strategies by key market players like raising awareness about innovative technologies is expected to drive the global radiodermatitis market growth over the forecast period. For instance, On January 17, 2020, 3M, U.S based healthcare company announced that the National Institute for Health, U.K. and Care Excellence (NICE) has created awareness of radiodermatitis by explaining the technology named Medtech Innovation Briefing (MIB) regarding the use of V.A.C. VERAFLO Therapy to promote wound healing in chronic and acutely infected wounds due to radiation. The system is part of 3M’s recently acquired KCI, an Acelity company, helping to improve patient outcomes by protecting and healing skin.
Global Radiodermatitis 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 drugs from one place to another.
COVID-19 had an negative impact on the global radiodermatitis market. For instance, according to an article published by National Center for Biotechnology Information ( NCBI ) explains Radiation therapy dermatitis is a side effect caused mainly by systemic therapy after previous radiation therapy. A few case reports describe radiation caloderma in breast cancer patients treated with postoperative radiotherapy after vaccination against COVID-19. In this study, researchers investigated the prevalence and severity of radiation callus dermatitis after COVID-19 vaccination in irradiated breast cancer patients.
