Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Dupuytrens Disease Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the global Dupuytren's disease market. With the imposition of nationwide lockdowns globally in 2020 and 2021, hospitals and clinics focused more on treating COVID-19 patients resulting in cancellation or postponement of non-essential procedures like Dupuytren's contracture surgery. This disrupted the flow of new patient registrations, negatively affecting market revenues. However, with economic activities restarting and healthcare systems adapting to the 'new normal', the number of surgeries performed has gradually increased from mid-2021.
The pre-COVID market was growing steadily at a CAGR of 4.6% driven by rising geriatric population, increasing prevalence of associated risk factors like diabetes, and enhanced clinical awareness. Post-COVID, growth is expected to regain lost momentum especially in 2022 and beyond as backlogs are cleared. However, short-term risks from potential future outbreaks cannot be ruled out. Pharmaceutical companies are focusing on pipeline development and new product launches to sustain long-term growth. For instance, affordable biologics and less invasive procedures can boost accessibility in lower resource settings most impacted due to pandemic-related healthcare budget cuts.
North America accounts for the largest share in the global Dupuytren's disease market in terms of value. This is attributed to high diagnosis and treatment rates supported by favorable reimbursement policies and consolidating pharmaceutical industry presence in the region. Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period owing to rising healthcare expenditure, speedy economic growth and increasing geriatric population in major countries like India and China. Latin America and Middle East & Africa also offer promising opportunities for market players to expand in the long run.
Europe holds a significant share of the global Dupuytren's disease market and is anticipated to maintain its strong position through 2030. Countries like Germany, UK and France have advanced healthcare systems enabling higher accessibility for Dupuytren's contracture treatment modalities including surgery, needle fasciotomy and collagenase injections. Presence of major market players also aids regional market growth. Though short-term economic challenges exist currently due to COVID-19 induced macroeconomic slowdown, long-term growth drivers remain stable.
