Drivers are inflammatory diseases, availability of healthcare, and consistent research for enhancing safety profiles of products. Future trends for growth of the nimesulide market could be linked to emerging markets as well as changes in the healthcare policies around the world.

GLOBAL CRISES IMPACTING NIMESULIDE MARKETCOVID-19 IMPACT

Nimesulide market Had a Negative Effect Due to Disruption in Supply Chain and Consumer Demand during COVID-19 Pandemic

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.

Due to the COVID-19 it can be noted that the Nimesulide market share was affected mainly by disruptions in manufacturing and supply chain and a change in priorities in terms of health concerns. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in alternate lockdowns, and various restrictions disrupted the manufacturing and supply of medicine such as NSAIDs including nimesulide. Also, the pandemic led to the re-orientation of priorities and care services, COVID took precedence, and therefore essential procedures, surgeries and prescriptions for pain were deprioritized. In addition, nimesulide similar to other NS AIDs experienced decreased prescription because of early speculation regarding detrimental effects on COVID- 19 because there were doubts surrounding the safety of anti-inflammatory drugs accorded to the outbreak. This overall decrease in the demand and compounded with the supply chain issues led to a shift in the market and health care delivery for chronic and non-COVID-19 care mostly fixed on the supply chain stabilization and rebuilding of health systems.
