Global Subcutaneous Drug Delivery 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 impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry, mainly due to strict lockdowns in several regions. Most industries across the world have been negatively impacted over the last 18 months. This can be attributed to significant disruptions experienced by their respective manufacturing and supply-chain operations as a result of various precautionary lockdowns, as well as other restrictions that were enforced by governing authorities across the globe.
The stockpiling of subcutaneous or oral formulations due to the lockdown may cause a spike in demand for certain products. According to an article published in the Center for Biosimilars (American Journal of Managed Care), on February 27, 2025, manufacturers such as Novartis AG who have manufacturing facilities in Austria, Europe, are particularly at risk on the supply side.
These above elements are expected to burden the revenue trajectory of the global subcutaneous drug delivery market over the forecast timeline.
