DENTAL IMAGING MARKET ANALYSIS

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Egypt, and others faced problems regarding transportation of things from one place to another.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic had negative impact on the global dental imaging market, owing to reduction in dental practices. For instance, according to the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, in March 2022, dental staff, academic personnel, dental students and dental researchers were severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemicthat led to decrease in the quality of care, clinical work and practical training.
