Growing drug usage after the COVID-19 pandemic
and an increase in the abuse of illicit drugs
like cannabis are the main factors driving the
drug screening market growth. COVID-19 pandemic
led to increase in drug abuse In the wake of the
COVID-19 crisis, more than 100 million people
lost their jobs. Globally, there is an increase
in mental health issues. This may have led to an
increase in drug abuse. In parallel, drug
traffickers have quickly recovered from initial
setbacks caused by lockdown restrictions, driven
in part by a rise in the use of technology (drug
traffickers using online platforms etc.) and
cryptocurrency payments that are operating
outside the regular financial system. The demand
for drug screening services/products is projected
to rise as a result of these factors. The
pandemic fueled discussions about substance use
disorders (SUDs), as drug and alcohol use along
with the associated deaths from their overdoses
increased. Confusion, loneliness, and
unemployment caused more people to either
start/increase drugs and alcohol consumption,
when many treatment centers and support groups
were unavailable during the pandemic CEO,
