Growing Adoption of Advanced Wound Dressings to Drive Wound Care Market Growth in Coming Years

The increasing use of advanced wound dressings results in better care for individuals. Many advanced wound dressings are available with a wide range of physical performance, characteristics, and costs. Antimicrobial dressings are an alternative to traditional dressings and systemic antibiotics. This dressing type contains antimicrobial agents that reduce wound bacterial colonization and infection to improve healing. Due to the high functional efficiency in post-surgical care and burns, antimicrobial wound dressings are rapidly replacing conventional wound dressings. Advanced wound dressings incorporated with antimicrobial or wound healing agents and with up to 50% better and faster wound healing, low infection rate, painless dressing removal, better cosmetic results with less scarring, non-requisite of frequent dressing changes leading to cost reduction, affordability, and fewer drainage issues are substantially replacing the traditional wound dressings.

Furthermore, advanced wound closure products such as adhesives, sealants, and hemostats will replace conventional, traumatizing wound closure devices such as sutures, staples, and ligating clips. The feasibility of these products for surgical wounds, rapid termination of blood loss, prompt and effective closure of the wound, strong adhesion of wound edges, tight sealing, reduced scarring, and reduced risk of infections would accelerate the demand for advanced wound closure products in the coming years. The wound care market is expected to witness an inclination toward wound closure strips. The strips are easy to use, highly efficient, strong, and secure with minimal scarring effects, as well as they can eliminate railroad marks associated with sutures and staples.

Thus, the increasing adoption of advanced wound dressings is expected to propel the wound care market during the forecast period.

End user Insights

Based on end user, the global wound care market is segmented into hospitals, specialty clinics, home healthcare, and others. The hospitals segment held the largest share of the market in 2022 and is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. In the coming year, the hospital segment is estimated to hold the largest market share among all the end users as hospitals record maximum visits of patients suffering from chronic and acute wound types. Better facilities provided by hospitals, availability of different treatment options, and good nursing care are among the factors driving the market growth for the hospitals segment. In addition, government schemes, awareness programs, and different schemes for monetary help attract patients to visit hospitals for treatments.

The number of surgeries for different conditions is increasing worldwide. Therefore, there is an increase in wound care management in hospitals, which ultimately fuels the wound care market growth for the hospitals segment.

Product launches and mergers and acquisitions are among the highly adopted strategies by the players operating in the global wound care market. A few of the recent key product developments are listed below:

• In September 2022, MiMedx Group, Inc. announced the launch of AMNIOEFFECT, a tri-layer PURION-processed human tissue allograft consisting of the amnion, intermediate, and chorion membrane layers of the placenta.

• In September 2022, MiMedx Group, Inc. announced the launch of AXIOFILL, an Extracellular Matrix (ECM) Particulate product derived from human placental tissue.
