Impact of COVID-19 on the Orthopedic Braces and Supports Market
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the global orthopedic braces & supports market. The pandemic resulted in a decline in elective surgeries and the postponement of organized sports. Additionally, patients’ unwillingness to go to clinics due to fear of contracting COVID-19 and deferral surgeries for both major and minor injuries have negatively impacted the market's growth.

Nationwide lockdowns in the countries of Asia-Pacific and Europe, the major suppliers of raw materials, led to a global manufacturing slowdown. The impact on the market was seen for a shorter period as a steady recovery was observed during the latter part of the pandemic.
