The year 2020 was one like no other, as we witnessed the far-reaching impact of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) global pandemic. Yet despite an unprecedented and challenging year, global research in interstitial lung disease (ILD) continued to break new grounds. Research progress has led to an improved understanding in new diagnostic tools and potential biomarkers for ILD. Studies on the role of antifibrotic therapies, newer therapeutic agents, supportive care strategies and the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continue to reshape the management landscape of ILD. In this concise review, we aim to summarize the key studies published in 2020, highlighting their impact on the various aspects of ILD.
