Advanced Wound Care Industry Overview

The global advanced wound care market was valued at USD 10.77 billion in 2023 and is projected to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.75% from 2024 to 2030. Several factors are contributing to this market growth, including the increasing number of surgical procedures, a rise in road accidents, and an uptick in trauma cases and burns. Additionally, the introduction of innovative and advanced wound care products plays a significant role in driving demand. The growing prevalence of chronic diseases that impair wound healing capabilities further enhances the need for advanced wound care solutions.

Another crucial factor influencing market growth is the expanding geriatric population, which typically exhibits slower healing abilities. According to the United Nations Population Fund’s India Ageing Report 2023, the population aged 60 and above is projected to increase from 14.9 crores in 2022 to 34.7 crores by 2050. This demographic shift is likely to propel market growth, as older individuals often experience more complications related to wound healing.

Additionally, individuals suffering from diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) face a heightened risk of lower-extremity amputation. A study published on ScienceDirect indicates that diabetic foot ulcers could affect more than 25% of the diabetic population, with amputation occurring in 20% of these patients. Advanced wound care products are particularly effective in treating diabetic foot ulcers, which are common among those with diabetes. These products facilitate moisture retention and promote rapid internal and external healing of wounds. Furthermore, they assist in the absorption of necrotic tissues, making them effective in managing surgical site infections. As a result, healthcare professionals increasingly prefer advanced wound care products, a trend anticipated to significantly boost global wound care market growth throughout the forecast period.
