Global Advanced Wound Care Market Overview
A constant rise in wounds' cause economic, clinical, and social impact and asks for a more structured approach and proportionate investment in wound care. Wounds are caused due to many reasons: surgical intervention, the result of injury, and other consequences such as diabetes or vascular disease. Patients with acute and chronic wounds are susceptible to infection and other complications that hinder healing. Treatment of wounds of different causes constitutes a major part of the total health care budget. The patients suffering from wounds report physical, mental, and social consequences of their wounds. Slow healing time, increased frequency of dressing change, and complications are three vital cost drivers. The wounds also result in pain, distress, social isolation, anxiety, extended hospital stay, chronic morbidity, or even mortality. Many of these issues are preventable with advanced wound care, thus driving the market. With modern, advanced technology for more rapid wound healing, all these cost drivers can be substantially minimized.
According to Value Market Research, the global advanced wound care market size was valued at about USD 10.4 billion in 2021 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 7.2 % during the forecast period 2022 to 2028.
Wounds, either acute or chronic, poses a significant burden on human health. Of the total wounds identified, 22 % are acute wounds, and 78 % are chronic wounds. Of the acute wounds, surgical wounds are the most prevalent. Growing wound burden, expanding aging population, increasing spending on healthcare industry, and rising number of surgeries and injuries due to major accidents are foreseen to drive demand for advanced wound care. The rising prevalence of diabetes and infections, which results in slow healing of the wounds, will be propelling the market demand. The world is aging rapidly. Aging is associated strongly with the higher prevalence of wounds. The exponential growth of geriatric people is, thus, parallel, followed by the exponential growth of the advanced wound management market. However, high-cost concerns with advanced wound care products and low awareness among the patients are predicted to restrain the market growth. Patients and physicians opt for less-expensive traditional and basic wound care products limiting demand for high-cost but cost-effective advanced wound care products.
