Impact of COVID-19 on Demand and Supply of IV Infusion Products
The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in various countries across the globe have impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors including private healthcare sector. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry mainly due to strict lockdown in several regions. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the economy of various regions across the globe in three main ways; 1) by directly affecting the production and demand; 2) by creating disruptions in distribution channels; and 3) through its financial impact on companies and financial markets. Many countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore are facing problems with regards to transportation and distribution of healthcare products. However, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is expected to drive growth of the U.S. IV infusion products market during the forecast period, owing to increasing demand for infusion pumps in COVID-19 patients. For instance, according to Flex Ltd., a multinational electronics contract manufacturer, Singapore, as COVID-19 patients began to fill hospital intensive care units (ICU), infusion pump demand quickly surged. A flood of orders was sent to suppliers, putting pressure on them to manufacture even more. Flex's Timisoara, Romania, facility had been producing infusion pumps for many years, however, in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the team had to manufacture five times as many infusion pumps, in order to cater to the rising demand.
