Challenges
The global diabetic ulcer treatment market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by ulcer type into foot ulcer, mouth ulcer, and others. Among these segments, the foot ulcer segment is anticipated to capture the largest market size in the global diabetic ulcer treatment market owing to the rapidly growing number of people around the world who are experiencing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). A diabetic foot ulcer is a very serious condition in diabetic patients, as the immunity power and wound healing process are compromised in these people. The wound is even prone to get infectious over time if proper medications are not taken. For instance, every year, it is estimated that 9 to 26 million people around the world suffer from diabetic foot ulcers as a result of their diabetes. There is a significant chance that a diabetic foot ulcer will develop over the course of a patient's lifetime in 16 to 24% of patients with diabetes.
The global diabetic ulcer treatment market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end-user into hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and home care. Amongst these segments, the hospitals segment is expected to garner a significant share. The increasing number of hospitals across the world owing to the increasing number of patients suffering from various diseases, and the growing aging population is estimated to propel the growth of the market segment. The increasing favorable reimbursement policies from the government to support people with low income rises the demand for hospitals. The improvement in treatment methods and the presence of experienced doctors in the hospitals is expected to increase the market segment growth in the forecast period. As per the estimations, there are about 8,200 hospitals in Japan as of 2020 and 4,100 hospitals in Korea.
