Impact of covid-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a global healthcare crisis, resulting in a change in healthcare delivery in most areas. Most unrelated surgeries were postponed in the first half of 2020 to slow the spread of the virus and reduce the strain on healthcare infrastructure. According to Indiana University researchers, healthcare visits declined by approximately 40% in the first six weeks of the pandemic in the U.S, from early March to mid-April.

Following the relaxation of constraints, there has been a general decrease in people postponing seeking care and treatment in healthcare facilities. Furthermore, the slowdown in clinical trial enrollment has pushed back the launch of novel treatments. These considerations may have had a detrimental influence on the autoinjector industry, particularly with its usage in healthcare facilities beginning in early 2020.

However, the overall effect on the autoinjectors market is considered positive, especially during the forecast period, due to several factors. In the biologics space, there has been a shift toward higher delivery volumes and less frequent dosing, which can be achieved through suitably customized autoinjectors.

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the trend of self-injection, allowing patients to be more involved and in charge of their treatment. The trend boosted newer technology in the autoinjector market for improved regulation of injection speed, injection site discomfort, and treatment of anxiety.
