Wound Debridement Market Analysis
The Wound Debridement Market size is estimated at USD 4.95 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 6.61 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.97% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
This COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the market worldwide due to the cancellation of many treatment procedures, including surgeries. For instance, according to the 2021 annual report published by Convatec, the advanced wound care segment, which included debridement products, declined revenue of 4.0% or 3.8% on a constant currency basis principally driven by the negative COVID-19 impact of reduced elective surgeries and restricted access to the healthcare setting. However, as per the same source mentioned above, the studied market is expected to witness substantial growth over the forecast period due to the return of elective operations in the post-pandemic period.
The major growth factor for the wound debridement market is the incidence of diabetes and associated wounds, as diabetic people are at higher risk of developing wounds requiring debridement. Thus, an increase in the diabetic population is expected to significantly impact the market. For instance, according to the report published by the Indiana University School of Medicine in November 2022, diabetes-related skin injuries, known as diabetic wounds, are particularly challenging to treat and frequently result in amputations or other consequences due to infections. Thus, wound debridement removes nonviable tissue, facilitates wound healing, and helps prevent these serious outcomes. So, the increasing prevalence of diabetes worldwide is expected to be a significant growth driver for the studied market.
Moreover, with the increase in the diabetic population, wound incidence is expected to increase, leading to an increase in the demand for wound debridement, which is expected to grow over the forecast period. For instance, according to the report published by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in November 2021, about 537 million adults in the age group 20-79 years are living with diabetes in 2021 globally, and this number is projected to increase to 643 million by 2030, and 783 million by 2045. Further, as per the same source, about 541 million adults were at risk of developing type-2 diabetes. This shows the increasing burden of diabetes, which increases the risk of wounds that may propel the market growth over the forecast period.
However, the high treatment cost associated with wound debridement of different types of wounds is expected to impede the study market over the forecast period.
