Accelerated vaccine deployment in 2021, strong rebound in consumer demand, and partial recovery of the services sector could enable full GDP recovery by Q3 2021 (optimistic scenario). Full recovery will be pushed out to mid–2022 in the case of multiple new COVID-19 waves, extended lockdowns, and delayed vaccine administration (pessimistic scenario).

Currently, the field of radiation therapy is changing in terms of radiation type, and there are several changes in adoption patterns among its end-user segments. The end users are shifting from conventional radiation (Xray, or Cobalt-60, among others) to modern radiation such as a proton or heavy ion radiation. The increasing demand for modern radiation therapy systems has led to the increasing awareness of cancer/tumor treatments. The primary role of these systems is to shrink or destroy cancer/tumor depending on cancer/tumor type, stage, patient age, number of radiation sessions required, and many other factors. Radiation therapy can be divided primarily into external beam radiation therapy, also known as teletherapy, and internal beam radiation therapy, also known as brachytherapy. In the past decade, the definition of these technologies has expanded. Earlier the radiation therapy was only referred to as a simple therapy only done by the radiation beam. Now, radiation therapy includes internal radiation or external radiation combined with chemotherapy or open body surgery or combining various radiation therapy techniques such as IGRT, VMAT, and SRS to destroy or shrink cancer/ tumor. The ongoing trend of offering new radiation therapy systems which have proton or heavy ion beam, integration of two different radiation therapies, and integration of imaging technology with radiation therapy systems showcase the growing future of technological innovations and advancements in radiation therapy in the oncology field.

Practically overnight, clinicians, healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies and payers shifted much of their work onto virtual platforms and other digital technologies. As consumers grappled with a deadly new virus, providers embraced virtual technology in unprecedented numbers so they could continue to serve patients despite restrictions on in-person interactions. In doing so, they packed a decade’s worth of reforms into a few short months. Players across the industry boosted data analytics capabilities to respond to ongoing shifts in healthcare needs, consumer behaviour and the economy. The deployment of digital tools in clinical trials helped companies quickly test whether existing medicines worked against the new virus and enabled the rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines. And work began to shore up the weaknesses evident in the healthcare supply chain. All this took place amid the broader backdrop of changes coursing through the industry and a set of long-standing common issues affecting the health ecosystem. In the years before the pandemic, and in the months since COVID-19 altered the course of history, a series of transformations has been altering traditional paradigms. And they will continue to do so in coming years. These include a heightened focus on well-being and prevention, the push to develop cures in addition to treatments, paying based on outcomes rather than fee-for-service, new developments in gene therapy and precision medicine, cross-industry convergence, and an end-to-end focus on patient and clinician experience. These themes intersect and interact with significant issues, including excessive cost; health inequities; inadequate transparency, interoperability and collaboration; and a general lack of trust.
