[Research Report] The advanced wound care dressing market size is expected to grow from US$ 4,333.25 million in 2022 to US$ 6,629.49 million by 2030; the market is estimated to register a CAGR of 5.46% during 2022–2030.

Analyst’s Viewpoint

The advanced wound care dressing market analysis explains factors such as the growing number of burn wounds, chronic diseases, and road accidents, which result in a higher need for surgical procedures. The increasing number of surgical procedures, in turn, propels the demand for advanced wound care products. Further, advancements in current technologies and new product launches by market players are expected to introduce new trends in the advanced wound care dressing market during 2022–2030. Based on type, the market is segmented into foam dressing, alginate dressing, hydrogel dressing, hydrocolloid dressing, collagen dressing, film dressing, and others; the foam dressing segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022.

Advanced wound dressings are designed to have biological activity either on their own or through the release of drugs impregnated within the dressing. These drugs can play an active role in the wound healing process, either directly by removing necrotic tissue or indirectly by preventing or treating the infection to aid tissue regeneration. Semipermeable films and foams fall under the semi-occlusive category, while hydrocolloids and hydrogels are considered advanced interactive dressings. These dressings help in wound management by delivering drugs to the wound site in a controlled fashion to improve treatment adherence and therapeutic outcomes.

Market Insights

Increasing Advanced Wound Care Dressing Market Growth

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as ulcerative colitis, cardiac arrest, cancer, and brain hemorrhage has led to a rise in the demand for surgical procedures. For instance, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), in 2020-2021, cardiovascular disease was the reason behind the hospitalization of 600,000 people, representing 5.1% of all hospitalizations in Australia. Among these patients, 146,000 coronary angiography procedures were reported, out of which 97,200 (67%) were performed for males and 48,900 (33%) for females. Similarly, an article published by Eurostats in 2023 showed that in 2021, transluminal coronary angioplasty was one of the top ten surgical procedures performed in European countries. It was performed an average of 553 and 390 times per 100,000 inhabitants in Croatia and Germany, respectively.

Additionally, growing prevalence of cancer, one of the chronic conditions which requires surgical removal of tumors is becoming a global health burden. According to the statistics provided by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), IN 2023, cancer resulted in 609,820 deaths, and 1,958,310 new cancer cases were reported in the US. Moreover, surgical procedures for burns and scald wounds and plastic surgeries for beauty enhancement are contributing to the growth of the advanced wound care market. According to the global survey released by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) in 2021, plastic surgeons performed over 12.8 million surgical procedures, representing a 19.3% increase in 2021. Procedures like cardiac surgeries or plastic surgeries result in surgical wounds and scarring. Most of the surgical wounds heal without any complications. However, in some cases, a wound may become infected post-surgery due to the growth of germs. This can lead to a delay in the wound-healing process. The purpose of a dressing used in operations is to absorb any fluid weeping from the surgical wound, provide the best conditions for healing, and protect the area during the healing process. The use of advanced wound dressings such as foam dressing and hydrogel dressings has emerged as a feasible option to speed up the healing process owing to their antibacterial properties.

Future Trend

Advancements in Existing Technologies to Bring New Trends in Advanced Wound Care Dressing Market in Coming Years

Major companies in the advanced wound care dressing market focus on research and development activities, which has resulted in the introduction of novel products that are more effective than traditional wound dressings. In March 2022, Cardinal Health launched its first surgical incise drape using industry-leading antiseptic chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG). The drape is equipped with Avery Dennison's patented BeneHold CHG adhesive technology, which reduces the risk of surgical site contamination by preventing the growth of organisms that typically cause surgical site infections (SSIs). The incise film is sturdy, conformable, and breathable, providing a sterile surface that acts as a barrier against contamination.

In April 2023, Convatec Group Plc. acquired the anti-infective nitric oxide technology platform of 30 Technology Limited. In addition to its use in advanced wound care, Convatec plans to explore the potential application of this innovative technology platform across all of its business categories, eventually boosting its advanced wound care portfolio.

Coloplast has introduced some remarkable innovations in wound care; Biatain silicone foam dressing stands out for its exceptional absorption ability and minimum maceration risk. The company also offers a range of products for managing complex wounds. These include Comfeel Plus pressure ulcer dressing and SenSura Mio Convex Flex ostomy appliance. Such product launches and innovations encourage healthcare providers to shift from traditional wound dressings to advanced dressings, which is likely to drive the growth of the advanced wound care dressing market.

Report Segmentation and Scope

Type-Based Insights

Based on type, the advanced wound care dressing market is segmented into foam dressing, alginate dressing, hydrogel dressing, hydrocolloid dressing, collagen dressing, film dressing, and others. The foam dressing segment held the largest market share in 2022; it is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during 2022–2030. Foam dressings are absorbent and non-linting. They come in different thicknesses and have a non-adherent layer that allows for gentle removal without causing trauma. Some foam dressings come with an adhesive border and a film coating to provide additional protection against bacteria. They create a moist environment and insulation for the wound. They are available as pads, sheets, and pillow (cavity) dressings. Foam dressings can be used as primary or secondary dressings for partial- and full-thickness wounds that produce minimal, moderate, or heavy drainage. They can also be used as the primary dressing to provide absorption and insulation or as a secondary dressing for wounds with packing. Additionally, they can be used to absorb drainage around tubes. These unique characteristics make dressings the most suitable type of dressing for chronic wounds, allowing for fast and effective healing treatment.
