Global Wound Debridement Products 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 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 reagrding transportation of drugs from one place to another.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic had negative impact on the global debridement products market. For instance, according to data publsihed by the commonwealth fund on May 19, 2020, the number of patient visits to hospitals and ambulatory practices declined nearly 60% by the beginning of pandemic in April 2020. Even after pandemic, number of visits were roughly one third lower than what was before the pandemic.

This adds the cost of surgical dressings that are required to change every day. Apart from this, the treatment formulation suggested by healthcare practitioner also adds up the cost. Depending on duration of treatment the cost increases.
