Wound Irrigation System Market Analysis
The Wound Irrigation System Market studied is expected to grow with an estimated CAGR of 3.4%, over the forecast period.
COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the healthcare industry due to postponed treatment of other acute or chronic ill patients and reduced hospital submissions. Patients with other acute and chronic conditions faced several challenges to access medical treatment. Emergency departments and hospitals reported a decline in admissions for different conditions such as stroke, myocardial infarction, and hyperglycemic crisis. According to a study published by PubMed in 2021, the COVID-19 decreased access to clinical management of chronic wounds in Germany. Also, the decrease in elective surgical procedures due to the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the market. According to the research conducted by the CovidSurg Collaborative, a research network, in 2020, approximately 6.3 million orthopedic surgeries were canceled globally over a 12-week period, which had a short-term negative impact on the market.
The growing prevalence of surge in prevalence of traumatic & surgical wounds and pressure ulcers, increase in the volume of surgical procedures, and availability of advanced production lines for wound care management are some of the major factors propelling the growth of this market. In addition, the high incidence of chronic wounds such as chronic leg ulcers among the diabetic population is expected to increase usage of wound irrigation systems. According to a study published by PubMed in 2019, chronic wounds and chronic leg ulcers are a public health challenge and affect about 2.21 and 1.52 per 1,000 people respectively.
Moreover, the high prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers is anticipated to drive the market. According to a study published by the ScienceDirect in 2021, the lifetime risk for diabetic foot ulcers among diabetic patients is about 15%. Therefore, diabetic foot ulcers are expected to drive the wound irrigation system market growth over the forecast period. Also, the incidence of surgical site infection is likely to increase owing to the rise in the number of surgical procedures. According to a report published by the Health Research Educational Trust in 2018, 'Preventing Surgical Site Infections', approximately 15 million surgeries were performed in the United States annually, causing about 160,000 to 300,000 surgical site infections every year in the country. It is one of the most expensive and common healthcare-associated infections in the United States.
Furthermore, rising cases of road accidents and traumatic events are one of the drivers for market growth. For instance, as per the Global status report on road safety 2018, launched by World Health Organization in December 2018, 1.35 million people die every year due to road accidents. This is expected to increase the demand for wound irrigation systems in the industry.
