COVID-19 Impact on Transfer Membrane Market
- On January 30, 2020, the International Health Regulations Emergency Committee of the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. Originating in China, the virus has spread to at least 213 countries and territories around the world.
- Several governments and private sector businesses are operating at a limited capacity or have ceased operations completely due to recent events surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic
- The industrial shutdown has adversely impacted production of raw material for transfer membrane. This has led to the disturbance in the supply chain. Logistics services have also been hampered due to the COVID-19 outbreak. In turn, this has adversely affected the global transfer membrane market.
Asia Pacific to Dominate Transfer Membrane Market
- In terms of region, the global transfer membrane market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
- North America held dominant share of the global market in 2020 due to the presence of major transfer membrane manufacturers in the region. Government and private vendors are funding investment in order to support life science research in the region. This is also anticipated to boost the market in North America.
- The market in Asia Pacific is also estimated to expand at a significant pace during the forecast period owing to the large population and rise in number of prevailing diseases, especially in developing economies of China, India, and Japan
