The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the market, introducing uncertainty and slowing growth. Key challenges during the pandemic included operational disruptions, supply chain delays, and difficulties in conducting clinical trials. Additionally, market participants reported a decline in both new patient initiations and prescription volumes in 2020.

For example, the second quarter of 2020 saw decreased sales of Remodulin, Tyvaso, and Orenitram, largely due to reduced new patient starts. However, these numbers gradually rebounded to pre-pandemic levels in the latter half of the year. In response to pandemic-related challenges, companies adopted several strategies, such as maintaining strong financial health, ensuring product availability, sustaining uninterrupted distribution, and continuing R&D activities. Despite initial disruptions, overall PAH drug sales remained relatively stable due to these efforts.
