Biomaterial Wound Dressing Market Analysis
The biomaterial wound dressing market is expected to register a CAGR of 11.2% during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic severely affected the healthcare sector, including the biomaterial wound dressing segment. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic affected the global economy and showed a huge impact on the functioning of general hospital care for non-COVID-19 patients in hospitals globally. For instance, according to an article published by the AJMC in September 2021, a significant percentage of patients with chronic wounds had delayed preventative and emergent wound care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Such delays during the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the growth of the studied market. However, with the restrictions being lifted, wound care services have been resumed, which is expected to add to the growth of the biomaterial wound dressing market over the forecast period.
The biomaterial wound dressing market is driven by advancements in technology, a growing ageing population, the rising burden of chronic wounds and problems, and side effects associated with conventional wound healing procedures. Furthermore, an increase in government initiatives, demand for fast and safe treatment for chronic wounds, and an increase in the prevalence of lifestyle disorders such as diabetes leading to venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers propels the growth of the market. For instance, according to the International Diabetes Federation's IDF Diabetes Atlas Tenth edition 2021, over 537 million adults in the world were living with diabetes in the year 2021. The source also reported that the number of diabetic people in the world would increase to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045. The rising number of people affected by diabetes, who are more susceptible to foot ulcers is expected to boost the growth of the studied market.
The expansion of public health programs devoted to wound management is also anticipated to fuel market expansion. During a webinar hosted by the National Wound Care Strategy Programme in May 2022, for instance, presenters discussed a number of different approaches to healing venous leg ulcers. The expansion of the examined market is anticipated to benefit from initiatives aimed at raising public awareness of wound care services.
However, the high cost of treatment and unfavorable reimbursement policies are the few factors that hinder the market growth.
