COVID-19 Impact: Market Growth Hindered by Pandemic due to Travel Restrictions

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

COVID-19 pandemic had exaggerated overall markets. Lockdown and supply chain disruption has inhibited transportation systems, manufacturing units, and other operation sectors. The closure of research facilities and laboratories, travel restrictions, and social distancing measures stopped research activities that were heavily dependent on cryo-EM technology. Additionally, the financial constraints faced by research institutes and academic organizations during the pandemic limited their ability to invest in expensive equipment and infrastructure. Conversely, the demand for the device for studying the structural characterization of the virus and the formation of vaccines has made room for the market expansion. Slowly improving situation and research activities resume are likely to regain momentum of the market and witness a recovery in the post-pandemic period.
