The monthly reports refer to "participants" which tells us how many people are given the patch and how many others are tested with urine analysis.
Urine Analysis through November 30, 2020 13,321 participants Drug Patch through November 30, 2020 2,593 participants
The drug patch appears to have a lifetime market share of 16% in drug testing. However, the patch was a later entrant by four years than urine testing, so it's at least a little bit larger than 16%.
With that said, the first couple of months in 2020 showed that the patch was somewhere between 22% and 25%, which is not too far off from 16%.
Also note that February had a total of 200 participants. It was the "highest" month by far for drug testing for which I had numbers, which speaks to the slowdown this year.
I know that this is a tiny sample size, January is missing, April has an error, other numbers of partipants in past years had errors in reporting, but I think that the last six months are higher than the six months preceding it which is another example of "social distancing" benefitting use of the patch
