COVID-19 IMPACT

Reduction in Healthcare Budgets to Limit the Market Demands

The disruptions in global supply chains caused by the pandemic led to shortages of certain raw materials and chemicals, which affected the production and availability of laboratory chemical reagents. This resulted in price increases for some reagents and difficulties in obtaining certain types of reagents, especially those used in COVID-19 testing. The lockdowns and travel restrictions imposed by governments to control the spread of the virus led to a decline in laboratory activities and research, which in turn reduced the demand for laboratory chemical reagents. The pandemic created a surge in demand for certain laboratory chemical reagents used in COVID-19 testing and research, leading to shortages and price hikes.
