Segments - Wound Care Market by Wound Types (Acute Wounds [Burns and Surgical & Traumatic Wounds] and Chronic Wounds [Venous Leg Ulcers, Pressure Ulcers, Diabetic Foot Ulcers, and Others]), Products (Traditional Wound Care Products, Surgical Wound Care Products, and Advanced Wound Care Products), End-users (Home Healthcare, Specialty Clinics, Hospitals, and Others), and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2022 – 2030
The wound care market size was valued at USD 20.5 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 29.5 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of around 4% during the forecast period, 2022 – 2030. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and rising number of surgical cases.
To prevent major complications, it is vital to take care of wounds. Untreated wounds can develop into life-threatening infections like cellulitis or sepsis. Conventional wound care management methods are being swiftly replaced by modern wound measure solutions, due to the latter's efficiency in managing wounds, which promotes faster healing. The global market for wound care is anticipated to expand as a result of increase in the introduction of cutting-edge wound care management solutions. The common foot ulcers that diabetic individuals have can be treated using wound care solutions. Hydrocolloid dressings, for example, are used for wound care because they aid to retain moisture and speed up internal and exterior wound healing. Additionally, these medications aid in the removal of necrotic tissues, which is useful in cases of surgical site infections. In addition, these products assist in the absorption of necrotic tissues, which is useful in cases of surgical site infections. As a result, wound care products are frequently used by healthcare professionals, which is estimated to drive the market.
Global demand for wound care products was significantly reduced by COVID-19. Many hospitals and departments have revised their COVID-19 patient treatment profiles as a result of the increasing strain brought on by the rising rate of COVID-19 hospitalizations. In order to reserve or redistribute the limited resources and expertise toward COVID-19 patient care, numerous elective procedures were cancelled or delayed throughout the world.

Based on types, the market is bifurcated into acute wounds and chronic wounds. The acute wounds segment is further segregated into burns and surgical & traumatic wounds. The chronic wounds segment is sub-segregated into venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and others. The chronic wounds segment accounted for a major market share of around 59% of the total market share in 2021. Growth of the segment is attributed to growing geriatric population, as well as rising incidence of chronic wounds such as venous pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and other foot wounds. The acute wound segment is expected to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period. The primary element fueling the segment is the rising incidence of various traumatic injuries and burns. Reduced surgery site infections, better outcomes and patient satisfaction, and minimized hospital stays are just a few of the numerous advantages of acute wound solutions. Additionally, burn injuries are becoming more common worldwide.
On the basis of products, the market is fragmented into traditional wound care products, surgical wound care products, and advanced wound care products. The advanced wound care products segment held a major market share in 2021. Advanced wound care products are mostly used to treat non-healing and chronic wounds. Therefore, increase in chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, is anticipated to boost the market. An average of 200 days are needed to heal these wounds. As a result of the aforementioned factors, it is anticipated that the market for wound care would grow during the forecast period. The surgical wound care products segment is estimated to expand at a CAGR of around 4% during the forecast period. Growth of the segment is attributed to increasing surgical cases and infections at surgical sites.
In terms of end-users, the market is segregated into home healthcare, specialty clinics, hospitals, and others. The hospitals segment is projected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period. The increase in surgical operations due to sedentary lifestyles and rising bariatric treatments, which call for the use of wound care products to prevent surgical site infections, are anticipated to boost the segment. Additionally, NPWT and surgical wound care dressings are primarily appropriate for hospital use and are not practical for homecare. Additionally, hospitals are regarded as significant purchasers of wound care products due to their established relationships with vendors. Additionally, it is projected that the rise in hospital admissions as a result of surgeries will fuel the segment during the projected period. In order for surgical site wounds to heal, patients typically need wound care products. The home healthcare segment is anticipated to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period. Wound care products for home healthcare became increasingly popular during the pandemic. The introduction of single-use NPWT devices marked a significant turning point for wound care in the home care environment. These devices are easy to use, canister-free, portable, and lightweight. Additionally, the affordability of such therapy for the treatment of wounds promotes patients to choose homecare settings over hospital stays. Growth of the segment is attributed to rising geriatric population. The elderly population often chooses home care or nursing facility care. Additionally, the existence of numerous companies providing home care services in North America and Europe is boosting the demand for these services.
On the basis of regions, the market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2021 and is projected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. Large populations and an expanding patient base in nations like the U.S. are significant factors driving the market. In addition, the older population is more susceptible to wounds, which is expected to increase the demand for wound care products in the region. The market in Asia Pacific is expected to register a CAGR of around 4% during the forecast period. This can be ascribed to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases in this area as a result of the changing lifestyle. The number of procedures being performed in this region is also rising as a result of medical tourism.
