Urology Guidewires Market Growth & Trends
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a significant challenge for the global healthcare industry. Restricted access to medical services has led to inadequate care for patients suffering from other diseases. The pandemic adversely impacted the market. Surgical procedures are frequently postponed or even cancelled at this time to prevent the spread of the infection. For instance, according to urology residents published in August 2021, Clinic visits, diagnostic treatments, endoscopic surgeries, along with open and minimally invasive surgeries all decreased by 40-100% in Italy.
Additionally, residents in India reported a 90% drop in surgical volume, and more than 80% of them believed their education had been affected. According to the same source, a survey of urology residents in Latin America and Spain found that 15% had their urological service closed, with all activity devoted to COVID-19 patients. As a result, with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, urological guidewire sales plummeted.
However, the market is expected to rebound and grow over the forecast period, as most countries have started easing lockdown measures and restarted some of the elective procedures. Furthermore, the key factors propelling the market growth include a high incidence of urologic conditions, technological advancements, and a rising geriatric population.
