COVID-19 had a significant impact on the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry in Norway. As per the article published in 2020 under the title 'The COVID-19 pandemic in Norway and Sweden - threats, trust, and impact on daily life: a comparative survey', Norway implemented tougher regulations and put visitors under quarantine. The government shut down all kindergartens and schools, as well as all physiotherapists, psychologists, hairdressers, swimming pools, and training facilities. It also outlawed all organized activities, including youth sports. Since the rapid shutdown affected the whole economy it spread to the working of pharmaceutical companies and research entities. Moreover, as per the 2021 report from the University of Oslo, despite playing a significant role in international public-private partnerships to combat COVID-19, Norway has made too few and too late demands on the pharmaceutical sector. Due to the aforementioned factors, COVID-19 had a notable impact on the Norway Pharmaceutical Market.

With its long tradition in the biomedical sciences, this makes it an enticing place for businesses trying to create a base or develop a partnership in Norway. The presence of market players, key product launches, mergers, and acquisitions make the market grow at a faster pace over the forecast period.

Additionally, using Norwegian patients as participants in clinical studies exposes Norway's healthcare system to a wider perspective. For instance, as per the World Health Organization (WHO) 2020 report, WHO officials enrolled the first patients from Norway and Spain in 'historic' coronavirus drug trial developmental studies.

Due to the aforementioned factors, Norway pharmaceutical market is anticipated to face growth over the forecast period. However, stringent regulatory rules for pharmaceutical products restrain the market growth over the study period.
