Global Widefield Imaging Systems Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

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 are facing problems with the transportation of drugs from one place to another.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the global widefield imaging systems  market. The devices used in primary clinical treatment such as Respiratory support devices such as atomizer, life-support machine, oxygen generator, and monitor are among the majorly. The demand for medical supplies such as personal protective equipment including masks, gloves, and protective eyeglasses also increases. With a rise in the number of COVID-19 cases worldwide, the need for medical supplies also increased, both from healthcare professionals and civil populations for precautionary measures.

Global Widefield Imaging Systems Market Segmentation:

The global widefield imaging systems  market report is segmented into Component, Indication , Modality, End User, and Region

Based on Component, the market is segmented into Instrument and Software. Out of which, the Instrument segment is expected to hold a dominant position in the widefield imaging systems  market during the forecast period and this is attributed to the increasing usage of various  instrument  for imaging systems.

Based on Indication, the market is segmented into Diabetic Retinopathy, Retinopathy of Prematurity, Pediatric Retinal Diseases, Retinal Vein Occlusion, Ocular Oncology, Uveitis, Chorioretinal Disease, Glaucoma, Others. Out of which, the Pediatric Retinal Diseases segment is expected to hold a dominant position in the widefield imaging systems  market during the forecast period and this is attributed to the increasing  cases of eye diseases in premature babies.

Based on Modality, the market is segmented into Standalone and Portable. Out of which, the Standalone segment is expected to hold a dominant position in the widefield imaging systems  market during the forecast period and this is attributed to the many equipment of widefield imaging systems are available in larger size and they need table in order to fix the devices.

Based on End User, the market is segmented into  Specialty Clinics, Hospitals and Ambulatory Surgical Centers. Out of which, the hospital segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period and this is attributed to the increase in the number of new hospitals for the Widefield Imaging treatment over the forecast period.

Among all segmentation, the Indication segment has the highest potential due to the increasing prevalence of pediatric retinal diseases over the forecast period due to the rising in vision impairment among teenagers. For instance, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2020, approximately 6.8% of children below 18 years have been detected with vision and eye condition in the U.S.

Global Widefield Imaging Systems Market Cross Sectional Analysis:

Among Indication, the pediatric retinal diseases segment is dominant during the forecast period in North America region due to the increasing prevalence of pediatric retinal diseases, which is expected to drive segment growth over the forecast period. For instance, on March 27, 2023, Ocugen,Inc., a biotechnology company, focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing novel gene and cell therapies, biologics, and vaccines, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved enrolling pediatric patients in the ongoing OCU400 Phase 1/2 trial.
