The eruption of coronavirus illness (COVID-19) did act as a humongous restriction mostly on sucralfate market in 2020, as supply chains have been interrupted because of international limitations and utilization has declined due to global government lockdowns. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease characterized by flu-like symptoms such as fever, coughing, and difficulty breathing. The virus was discovered in Wuhan, and has since spread throughout the world, which include West Europe, Asia, North America. Covid-19 has had a significant impact on a number of industries, one of which is the healthcare industry. A shutdown, boundary shutdown, lockdowns, followed by other forms of suppression have only exacerbated the situation. To cope with this pandemic scenario, all travel and outdoor activities were suspended. Because of health and safety concerns, all of the individuals were staying at home, which has a negative impact on the sucralfate market and on every other market for healthcare.
