Saudi Arabia Pharmaceutical Drugs Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic has negatively impacted the development, production, and supply of pharmaceutical drugs across the world. Many production and manufacturing facilities, and transport departments have suspended various activities in their factories of pharmaceutical drugs to stop the spread of coronavirus. Thus, this pandemic has affected both demand and supply of pharmaceutical drugs in Saudi Arabia.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is launching and approving new drugs and medications to combat the spread of coronavirus, which is expected to propel the Saudi Arabia pharmaceuticals drugs market growth. For instance, in June 2020, the Saudi Arabia’s Health Ministry approved the use of steroid dexamethasone as part of its treatment protocol for COVID-19 patients. Dexamenthasone has been used to treat inflammation in diseases such as arthritis. The drug will be administered to patients who need oxygen in hospitals and in the intensive care units but not on ventilators.
