Global Personal Mobility Devices Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns in various countries across the globe have impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors, including the 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. Private healthcare is one such sector that has been impacted significantly by the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the global personal mobility devices market, owing to hamper in the supply chain and the lack of availability of raw material to manufacture personal mobility devices due to COVID 19 pandemic. For instance, in August 2022, according to the data published by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) declared a public health emergency (PHE) exists nationwide relating to the multi-state outbreak of monkey pox cases and mobilized the operating divisions of Health and Human Services (HHS). During or in advance of a Public Health Emergency (PHE), device manufacturers are required to notify FDA of discontinuances or interruptions in the manufacture of certain devices that are likely to lead to a meaningful disruption in the supply of that device in the U.S., including those that are critical to public health during a PHE and according to section 506J(a) of the FD&C Act. Due to the ongoing Public Health Emergency (PHE) declaration relating to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the requirement to report such disruptions and discontinuances is already in effect. The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic triggered unprecedented increased demand for some medical devices, as well as significant disruptions to global medical device manufacturing and supply chain operations. The Food and Drug Administration is monitoring the medical product supply chain and working closely with manufacturers and other stakeholders to evaluate the risk of disruptions and to prevent or reduce their impact on patients, health care providers, and the health of the public at large. The COVID-19 pandemic had placed healthcare systems around the world under tremendous pressure, which has in turn posed a major challenge for the medtech industry to meet increased demand for its products. While COVID-19 has caused an exceptional level of disruption, it is not the only threat to the medtech value chain. The key players in the market were facing problems due to lockdown and restrictions of import and export imposed by the government of different countries.
