Covid-19 Scenario

- For instance, Dentsply Sirona highlighted that the net sales lowered by 7.6% for the first quarter of 2020, owing to low patient volumes and postponement of non-urgent procedures. In terms of revenue, the downfall was observed by several companies in the market. However, the demand is expected to recover post-pandemic.
- Manufacturing activities were hindered due to lockdown restrictions and shortage of raw materials. However, the supply chain is expected to recover post-pandemic and manufacturing will continue with full capacity.
