COVID-19 Impact on the Global Embolotherapy Market

The embolotherapy market is witnessing a loss of business, and the trend is expected to continue till December 2020. Unfavorable changes in regulations and guidelines are hampering the growth of this industry. Major regulatory authorities across the globe (such as CDC, WHO, MHRA, TGA, and EMA) have identified that cancer patients are at greater risk of COVID-19 infection than healthy adults.  

 

The high success rate and less post-operative complication rate associated with embolotherapy procedures coupled with the rising incidences of liver cancer and hepatocellular cancer will further boost the demand for embolotherapy devices in the near future. Liver cancer is fifth-most-common cancer in men and the ninth-most-common in women.
