Burn Care Centers Market by Facility Types (In-hospital and Standalone), Treatment Types (Wound Debridement, Skin Graft, Traction, Splints, Wound Care, Respiratory Intubation & Ventilation, OTC Pain Medications & bandages, Blood Transfusion, Prophylactic Vaccinations & Inoculations, and Rehabilitation), Burn Severity (Minor Burns, Partial Thickness Burns, and Full Thickness Burns), Service Types (Inpatient, Outpatient, and Rehabilitation), and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2021–2028

The global burn care centers market size is projected to register a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing number of burn-related emergency department (ED) visits and growing hospital admissions of patients for second degree or partial thickness.

A burn is a physical injury caused by heat exposure, which can be electrical, chemical, electromagnetic or thermal. The severity of burn injuries depends on the size and depth of the burn. The burns are categorized into three types based on severity namely first degree, second degree and third-degree burns. Advanced burn care along with biologics and traditional burn care is generally used in the treatment of burn injuries. These burn care products prevent further complications such as infection and help to control pain besides aiding in removal of dead tissue and reduces scarring risk to regain function.

Majority of the emergency cases are widely caused due to the accidents related to hot liquids or steams. As per a study in August 2018, the National Health Service (NHS), U.K., reported that the number of emergency admissions in the country has grown up by approximately 42% during the last decade, wherein hot liquid burns accounted for nearly 2% of the total admissions. Burns are responsible for nearly 265,000 deaths globally every year. The patients with burns covering more than 20% of their body, that is Total Body Surface Area (TBSA) >20 percent, are reported to be fatal. However, in the last decade, the incidence of burns-related deaths has been reduced by nearly 50% and the patients with TBSA >90 percent are reported to be surviving after opting for appropriate treatment.

Additionally, a 2016 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that nearly 338,000 patients in the US received emergency medical treatment for burns, followed by about 45,000 in-patient stays. The projected treatment cost required for such injuries in the US in 2016 was valued at approximately 7.1 billion.
