IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON HIGH LEVEL DISINFECTION SERVICES MARKET
COVID-19 first began in Wuhan (China) during December 2019, and since then, it has spread at a fast pace across the globe. The US, India, Brazil, Russia, France, UK, Turkey, Italy, and Spain are some of the worst affected countries in terms of confirmed cases and reported deaths. The spread of COVID-19 forced the implementation of preventive measures to limit the disease's spread; as a result, clinics were taking preventative measures and used high-level disinfection services. Equipment sterilization is also necessary in healthcare settings as patient-to-patient pathogen transmission by medical devices can be entirely controlled by properly sterilizing medical devices. The usage of reprocessed equipment to disinfect or sterilize medical devices is higher than usual during the pandemic since improper decontamination of surgical instruments, and other equipment can increase the chances of COVID-19. This has increased the demand for disinfectant consumables to ensure the proper sterilization of medical devices. Moreover, the supply chain disruptions due to extended lockdowns in various countries will substantially impact pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing companies, which will significantly impact the demand for disinfectant products. However, the number of people undertaking RT PCR and rapid antigen tests has surged, surging the demand for disinfectants services.
