COVID-19 Impact
The coronavirus (COVID-19) was discovered in December 2019 in the Hubei province of Wuhan city in China. The disease is caused by a virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is transmitted among humans.After its discovery in Wuhan, the disease rapidly spread to other parts of the globe. Moreover, this virus causes various symptoms in patients, which range from common symptoms to serious symptoms. For instance, common symptoms include fever, dry cough, and fatigue. However, serious symptoms include difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath, chest pain or pressure, and loss of speech or movement. Furthermore, the virus has high potential of lethality in the geriatric population. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization made an assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic. In addition, only a few vaccines received emergency approvals for COVID-19 prevention. Thus, social distancing is observed as the most important measure to stop the spread of this disease. Furthermore, to maintain social distancing, various countries across the world have adopted nationwide lockdowns.
The COVID-19 outbreak is anticipated to have a negative impact on the growth of the global dental impression market. owing to a decline in the number of visits to hospitals and clinics for dental purposes, leading to a reduction of the demand for dental impression materials. For instance, Dentsply Sirona reported that its net sales for the first quarter of 2020 were down by 7.6% or 4.3% in organic terms, due to low patient volumes and elective procedures. In terms of revenue and net sales, this downfall trend was observed in several other companies as well in the market. However, this is expected to be a temporary downfall, and the market is expected to resume growth in the future.
The global dental impression material market trends is segmented into material type, application, and end-user. The dental impression material market is segmented on the basis of material type alginate, silicon, polyether, and others. By application, the market is classified into restorative & prosthodontics, and orthodontics. By end-use it is categorized into hospitals, dental clinics, and research and academic institutes.
