THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The negative effect of the pandemic on RaySearch’s sales appears to be weakening as the pandemic subsides. In Asia, market conditions normalized and conditions improved in Europe and the US during the quarter. However, it remains difficult to say how the pandemic will affect the coming quarters with any great certainty.
