Posted on January 4, 2022

Rising incidences and prevalence of chronic illnesses such as diabetes are contributing in the occurrence of wound ulcers, which is driving the growth of the wound care market.

The global wound care market is expected to reach a valuation of USD 28.15 Billion by 2027, as per a recent analysis by Emergen Research. This growth of the wound care market is attributed to increased diabetes incidences globally from past decades, increased geriatric population, and increased investment in research and development for wound care research. Additionally, the factors such as increasing wound ulcer occurrence among patients coupled with increasing awareness programs on wound management are estimated to increase demand for advanced wound care treatments. This is a key factor driving the growth of the global wound care market and is estimated to remain the same during the forecast period.

Rising costs of wound care are encouraging investment in further research for improvement in wound care technologies, which is estimated to provide traction for the growth of the market in coming years. However, high costs of products coupled with undefined government policies for wound care and higher risks of infections are restraining the growth of the global wound care market. Nonetheless, the increasing launch of newer products is expected to offer several opportunities for growth in the coming years.
