Wound Care Market Size & Share, Growth Trends 2035

Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2023 - 2035

Wound Care Market size is poised to cross USD 58 billion by the end of 2035, witnessing around 8.4% CAGR during the forecast period, i.e., 2023 – 2035. In the year 2022, the industry size of wound care was surpassed USD 22 billion. The industry growth is mainly credited to an increasing number of slow-healing diseases such as anemia, cancer, and diabetes around the world. Autoimmune diseases such as chronic diseases and lifestyle-related diseases can cause stubborn wounds and injuries that do not heal. For instance, anemia is a condition in which the body cannot produce enough healthy red blood cells. This can slow wound healing because red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body, and a lack of oxygen can impair the healing process.

Wound care includes the treatment of chronic or complex wounds with products not available without a prescription. Wound care techniques can be categorized into general wound care and advanced wound care. Advanced wound care is a type of wound care that treats complex wounds with less available drugs than basic wound care, which treats simple wounds with readily available drugs. To receive advanced wound care, patients typically need to be treated at a doctor or hospital with an advanced wound care clinic. Wound healing methods include hydrocolloids, hydrogels, and duodenal plasters. These are the plasters that are estimated to have a positive impact on the growth of the global wound care market. It has been observed that 97% of people worldwide prefer using hydrocolloid dressings to conventional daily dressings because of their comfort, intrinsic healing properties, and lack of infection.

Wound Care Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

Rising Incidence of Chronic Wounds: Chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers are becoming increasingly common, driving demand for wound care products. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 422 million people worldwide have diabetes, with around 20% of them developing diabetic foot ulcers. Additionally, the prevalence of pressure ulcers is estimated to be between 10% and 18% in hospital settings.
Increasing Geriatric Population: The aging population is more prone to developing chronic wounds, hence increasing the demand for wound care products. According to the United Nations, the number of people aged 65 years and older is projected to more than double by the year 2050, reaching 1.5 billion globally.
Growing Number of Surgeries: As mentioned earlier, surgical wounds require proper care to prevent infection and promote healing. According to a report, around 313 million surgeries are performed each year, with this number projected to increase in the coming years.

Challenges

High Cost: Advanced wound care products can be expensive, making it difficult for patients to access them. This is particularly problematic in low- and middle-income countries, where patients may not have access to adequate healthcare.
Lack of reimbursement
Product development costs

Wound Care Segmentation

Functions (Hospitals, Specialty Clinics, Home Healthcare)

The segment is set to have a substantial market share of 35% in 2035. This can be accredited to the large number of patients requiring advanced wound care and hospitalized for surgery or treatment of chronic conditions such as diabetes and pressure ulcers. The hospital also has the wound care management devices and staff necessary for advanced wound care, including growth factor therapy and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT).

Applications (Chronic Wounds, Acute Wounds)

In the year 2035, the chronic wounds segment in the wound care market is predicted to command a large proportion of over 60%. The segment's expansion can be attributed to the rising prevalence of chronic wounds such as diabetes, pressure ulcers, and other disorders. In the year 2018, the incidence of chronic ulcers was over 2 per 1000 population and the incidence of chronic leg ulcers was 1 per 1000 population. Chronic wounds can be defined as physiologically compromised wounds resulting from disruption of the wound healing cycle as a result of impaired angiogenesis, innervation, or cell migration, among others. Normal wound healing is discussed separately. Skin wounds that do not heal, heal slowly, or heal but tend to recur are called chronic wounds. Many causes of chronic (permanent) skin wounds may include trauma, burns, skin cancer, infections, or underlying conditions such as diabetes. Wounds that take a long time to heal require special care.
