Brazil Wound Care Management Devices Market Size

Brazil Wound Care Management Devices Market Analysis

The Brazilian market for wound care management devices is expected to register a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period.

Medical care delivery has transformed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. Wound management is an ongoing treatment of a wound by providing an appropriate environment for healing, through both direct and indirect methods, together with the prevention of skin breakdown. As per a Europe PMC article published in October 2021, a private home care agency in Brazil, where wound care is often performed at home, reported a 15% increase of 305 patients/month between January and May 2020. Thus, the increasing wound care management in the country is expected to have a significant impact on the market growth during and post-pandemic. The resumption of postponed surgeries during the post-pandemic period is also expected to contribute to the growth of the market over the next five years.

As per an Elsevier article published in August 2022, the incidence and prevalence of chronic wounds will continue to increase in Brazil, in line with the prevalence of chronic degenerative diseases and the overall increase in life expectancy. According to the NCBI article published in July 2021, in a study of 229 patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, 60 had diabetic foot ulcers, resulting in a prevalence of 26.2%. Such increasing cases of chronic wounds, ulcers, and diabetic ulcers in Brazil have helped the growth of the market. Diabetic ulcers are more prevalent in patients with diabetes, which is increasing in Brazil. Injuries and wounds take more time to heal in the geriatric population, which is also increasing in Brazil, as per the United Nations in 2020. These factors have helped propel the growth of the market.

However, reimbursement issues and the high cost of products have been restraining the growth of the market.
