Impact of COVID-19 on the cone beam computed tomography market

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown severe negative impact on the global CBCT market during the pandemic timeline. Primarily, the disruptions caused in the elective surgeries by the COVID-19 pandemic due to the restrictions and guidelines imposed by the governments of several countries have limited the usage of CBCT systems and affected the market growth negatively. Several healthcare facilities including dental clinics have prioritized their purchasing decisions and given priority to conserve resources and focus on urgent needs and postponed and cancelled the purchasing decision of CBCT systems and this has resulted in the reduced demand for these medical devices during the COVID-19 pandemic. The disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the global supply chains resulted in the delays in the production, distribution, and delivery of CBCT systems and impacted their availability and demand for these devices. Furthermore, towards tele-dentistry and virtual consultations and growing emphasis on infection control resulted negatively on the market growth. Likewise, the global cone beam computed tomography market has experienced an unfavourable impact by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the market is expected to recover in quick time and post healthy growth during the forecast period due to the reducing impact of COVID-19 pandemic worldwide and rapid habituation towards the new normalization by the people and healthcare facilities.
