While theCOVID-19has severely impacted most markets, globally, the medical device market is one that has experienced polarizing effects of the pandemic. The rapid spread of the pandemic has resulted in healthcare systems being overwhelmed, with resources and staff being re-directed to address the surge in the number of patients.
Medical device markets that are imperative to supplying hospital equipment for the management ofCOVID-19, such as personal protective equipment (PPE), ventilators, and general hospital supplies, have experienced a surge in sales and the need to fulfil the overwhelming demand.
However, the pandemic has also resulted in a temporary pause of all non-essential and elective procedures. Medical device markets that manufacture devices for these procedures have been severely impacted, with companies reporting significant drops in revenue due to the cancellation of non-essential procedures.
The wound care management market is likely to face a moderate impact due to theCOVID-19pandemic. Decrease in surgical procedures may have a high impact on the market for wound closure devices. However, the chronic wound patient pool will continue to receive treatment, and will contribute a consistent stream of revenue for manufacturers.
Chronic wound patients often present multiple comorbidities, making them especially susceptible toCOVID-19. The use of telehealth technology can help optimize wound care by helping doctors determine when a patient needs to be seen in person. This minimizes hospitalization for otherwise manageable cases, and potential patient exposure toCOVID-19.
While telehealth can help patients access medical attention duringCOVID-19, in-person treatment is still vital for the accurate assessment of chronic wounds, and may not be a viable long-term alternative for some patients. Wound care, especially the advanced wound care market is expected to remain resilient, as it relies on a diverse mix of care strategies for sales.
Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and growing adoption of advanced wound dressing products over traditional products among consumers are expected to accelerate market growth during the forecast period. Besides, continuous focus of manufacturers toward improvements in the functionalities of advanced wound dressing products is also responsible for market growth at an impressive rate. North America and Europe hold a considerable share of the global advanced wound dressing market. Moreover, increasing demand for advanced wound dressing to treat sports injuries and road accidents are promising factors for investors to invest in the advanced wound dressing market for the future.
