Agoraphobia Treatment Market Overview 2030
Agoraphobia is a type of anxiety disorder in which the patients avoid and fear situations or places that might cause them to panic or make them feel helpless, trapped, or embarrassed. The patients fear an anticipated or actual situation, such as being in closed or open spaces, being in a crowd, using public transportation, or standing in line. The anxiety is usually caused by the fear that there is no way to get help or escape. Most patients who have agoraphobia start developing it after having one or more panic attacks. This causes them to worry about having another panic attack and make them avoid the places or situations where it may happen again. Sometimes, the fear associated with agoraphobia can be so intense that the patient may feel unable to leave his home.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
COVID-19 is an infectious disease that originated in the Hubei province of the Wuhan city in China in late December. The highly contagious disease, caused by a virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is transmitted from human to human. Since the outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to almost 213 countries around the globe with the World Health Organization declaring it a public health emergency on March 11, 2020.
Pharmaceutical and biotech companies together with governments around the globe are working to address the COVID-19 outbreak, from supporting the development of vaccines to planning for medicine supply chain challenges. Currently, around 115 vaccine candidates and 155 molecules are in the R&D pipeline. Moreover, commonly used drugs such as hydroxychloroquine have witnessed a dramatic surge in demand for the management of COVID-19. Such high demand for these drugs has presented huge opportunities for manufacturers of COVID-19 management drugs, as many developed countries are facing a shortage of these drugs. Thus, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries are expected to witness significant growth in the future, owing to the demand for vaccines and treatment drugs for COVID-19. This, in turn, is expected to have a significant impact on the agoraphobia treatment market.
