GlobalData: Ventilator industry prepares for second wave of COVID-19 outbreaks
Following reports that the second wave of COVID-19 is almost inevitable towards the winter
the ventilator industry is working with government and third-party partners to prepare for the potential shortage. GlobalData expects the market will reach $5.2bn by end of 2020, expanding more than four times compared to 2019.
If COVID-19 cases surge during the second wave, demand for ventilators could increase again. The European Commission (EC) signed framework contracts with Philips to supply medical ventilators to EU hospitals, while Celestica and Starfish recently signed a contract to provide 7,500 more ventilators to Health Canada in Q4 2020. In addition, wearable devices maker Fitbit plans to shift its supply chain to make emergency-use ventilators and Foxcoon Technology Group recently completed the regulatory requirements to manufacture 10,000 Medtronic Puritan Bennett 560 ventilators over 2021.

Now the head of the World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned Europe is still at risk of a second wave of COVID-19.
WHO chief Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) that the COVID-19 pandemic was “still accelerating”.
During his opening speech, Dr Tedros said: 'The pandemic is still accelerating.
