GLOBAL CRISES IMPACTING ETOMIDATE INJECTION MARKET COVID-19 IMPACT Initial Decrease in Demand Due to Delayed Surgeries

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

The COVID-19 outbreak hit the etomidate injection market extremely hard. In the initial stages, the demand for etomidate injections decreased since most hospitals and clinics postponed elective surgeries for patients affected by COVID. On the other hand, as the disease progressed, the demand for etomidate increased, as the drug is primarily used in critical care. Etomidate became a very popular anesthetic drug in ICUs, used to intubate critically ill COVID-19 patients, and for those requiring ventilation support, it became the preferred choice. It is stable, with quick action causing the least disturbances in the cardiovascular system, making it an appropriate agent for patients who are already unstable. In this connection, the pandemic underscored the need to retain adequate levels of vital anesthetic drugs such as etomidate in medical care facilities. Quite some time passed when many hospitals and other healthcare centers started to stock up on etomidate for future health crises. As a result, the market for etomidate not only experienced recovery but increased demand among the intensive care units and emergency departments due to new protocols and further concentration of the essential care resources of the healthcare organizations around the world.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"Critical factors that affect the use of Etomidate in Clinical Operations"

The effect of etomidate carries several critical challenges in clinical operations. The main one is on the suppression of the adrenal glands which would affect the prescription of the medication to very sick patients with weak adrenal functions. The medical safety monitors have also noticed this, particularly if the drug has to be used for extended durations or cycles of dosing. This led to regulation regarding its use, which has somewhat fought its spread in some aspects. Adding to these complexities is that physicians are now presented with alternative options, including propofol and ketamine, which are often better with their side effects and are comparably priced. These alternative drugs may work as effectively, sometimes even better than Etomidate, which is the reason most healthcare providers prefer them rather than Etomidate, especially in those situations where they want to avoid the side effects of Etomidate.
