The U.S. Projected to Lead The COVID-19 Mitigation Products Market: $55 to $112 Billion* per annum, Followed by China

WASHINGTON, June 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- HSRC announces the publication of its research report, "US COVID-19 Pandemic Mitigation Products Market - 2020-2024". According to this most up-to-update analysis, the U.S. is set to lead the Global market* with an annual market share of 22% to 25% of the cumulative 2020-2024 $1.7–$2.2 Trillion global market.

The U.S. is the leading nation in healthcare spending, resources, medical research, and sophisticated medical care. The U.S. spends $3.3 trillion (IMF, 2019) per year on healthcare, which is more than the combined expenditures of China, Japan, Germany, India, the United Kingdom, Italy, Brazil, Canada, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Australia, Mexico, Indonesia, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Switzerland ($3.24 trillion).

When compared directly to China, given the rivalry between the PRC and the USA, it might be important to note that China is very much still a developing country in the field of healthcare infrastructure and spending. China spends 23 times less than the U.S. in terms of per-capita health care expenses ($430 to $10,100) and has 9.6 times (2019 data) fewer intensive care unit hospital beds per hundred thousand people than the U.S. does (34.7 to 3.6). That said, due to the size of China's population, the PRC has half the overall number of ICU beds that the U.S. has. However, the U.S.'s advantages seemed not to be an impediment to having 29 times more COVID-19 infected cases (2,424,168 to 83,430) and 27 times more COVID related deaths than China (123,473 to 4,634).

Despite the huge spending, the U.S. became the leading COVID sufferer and mitigation market leader. HSRC estimates that there are a number of reasons why this has happened:

1. The Pandemic turned into a political issue, not a healthcare one, which should have been led by the CDC which was established 77 years ago with one mission: to mitigate the spread of diseases.
2. The White House was late to take counter-pandemic measures, including, but not limited to: stopping international travel (especially from China).
3. The Trump administration has no consistent mitigation strategy.
4. CDC challenges - during February, the CDC used erroneous PCR testing reagents and up to now they are not doing enough testing nation-wide.
5. The federal government does not have a national lockdown authority. This authority is in the hands of the 50 states.
6. Millions of infected low-income individuals and others, who are not covered by a medical insurance, refrained from seeking medical care when needed.

The USA is and will continue to be the largest COVID-19 mitigation products market because at this point that's the only option it has, and it has the resources to invest whatever it takes to mitigate the pandemic.

This should be contrasted to China's successful response, which, it is important to point out, was not solely, as many believe, due to its authoritarian government. There are six elements which dominated the effective mitigation of China's COVID-19 outbreak:

1. Lessons learned from past outbreaks. The 2003 SARS, 2009 H1N1 flu and the 2013 H7N9 outbreaks demonstrated the effects of outbreaks. This resulted in funding a restructured healthcare system and the establishment of a pandemic related laboratory network across the country.
2. A draconic lockdown of 50 million people.
3. China's Safe City Infrastructure The government invested during 2014-2018 billions of USD on a 650 cities' "Safe City" infrastructure. The core of the "Safe City" system is a people surveillance platform based on 230 million video cameras, backed by face recognition biometrics.
4. The "health code" surveillance infrastructure The Chinese augmented the safe city infrastructure by a so called "health code" service. The "health code" service, running on ubiquitous smart phone's platforms, was developed for the Chinese government to give users color-coded labels based on their health condition and travel record, and a code that can be scanned by government authorities and millions of establishments. As millions of people in China emerge from a long period of lockdown, their freedom of movement is largely dependent on the "health code" apps. The apps users with a green code are allowed to travel relatively freely. A yellow code indicates that the holder should be in home isolation, and a red one indicates a verified COVID-19 patient who should be in quarantine.
5. Chinese citizens (like many in Asia-Pacific countries) culture is to wear face masks when needed.
6. "We will invest whatever it takes to contain the outbreak" government policy.
