Imaging of removes tissues and organs can be performed for medical reasons. However, such procedures are considered as a part of the pathology. Medical imaging majorly uses the technology of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray radiography, ultrasound, elastography, endoscopy, medical photography, and tactile imaging.
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.
With COVID-19 spreading all across the world, hospitalization rates declined dramatically. There were several reports of many hospitals operating at less than 50% capacity in order to curtail noncritical medical services and elective surgeries. People are even less likely to visit hospitals and clinics for medical imaging equipment services. Therefore, COVID 19 is expected to have a significant impact on the medical imaging equipment services market.
