Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the world's healthcare sector, especially the contrast media agent and injector system sector. The COVID-19 pandemic led to the rescheduling of non-essential diagnostic tests and treatment procedures in order to allocate more resources toward the management of COVID-19. The American College of Radiology postponed non-urgent outpatient visits in accordance with the guidelines put forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Preventio (CDC). According to a paper published in the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) in April 2020, titled ‘The Economic Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Radiology Practices,’ imaging volumes were affected with the greatest decline observed in outpatient settings, followed by emergency departments and inpatient settings.
The future impact of COVID-19 on the demand and supply across the global contrast media agent and injector system market depends on the abilities of stakeholders to withstand unforeseeable scenarios in the future. The intensity of impact due to COVID-19 in the future will depend on the current efforts being made by companies to equip their supply chains with the necessary components and processes to remain responsive.
