U.S. Diabetic Neuropathy Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

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

COVID-19 can affect the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting 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, U.A.E., Egypt, and others, are facing problems with regards to the transportation of drugs from one place to another.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the U.S. diabetic neuropathy market due to the increasing risk of peripheral neuropathy from COVID-19. For instance, according to the data published in March 2022, by Washington University School of Medicine, COVID-19 patients are extremely at higher risk of experiencing symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, such as pain, numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, which, in turn, increased the sales of neuropathic treatment drugs, thus positively impacting the global diabetic neuropathy market growth.
