Countries in Asia Pacific are facing challenges due to increasing incidences of COVID-19 cases. Many measures have been implemented to contain the spread of COVID-19, which have resulted in significant operational disruption in many industries, including healthcare. Staff quarantine, supply-chain failures, and reductions in demand have generated serious complications for companies. Also, there has been a significant drop in in-patient and out-patient for private hospital chains. To relieve healthcare systems, many clinics have been postponing non-critical surgeries. To avoid overburdening in hospitals already struggling to deal with the rising pandemic pressure, doctors are delaying surgeries till the COVID-19 peak is past. As per a report published in the British Journal of Surgery on May 12, the number of operations cancelled in India is estimated at 48,728 per week. Moreover, many big medical device companies such as Stryker, CartiHeal Inc., and Smith & Nephew have predicated the decline in sales in China. Hospitals across China, Hong Kong and Taiwan have been deferring surgeries to prevent the spread of the virus in the region. Thus, the impositions of lockdown and barriers in supply chain for OTC braces and support devices negatively impacted the growth of the market in 2020 and is continuing in 2021.
