SAN FRANCISCO, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The global wound care market size is anticipated to reach USD 29.57 billion by 2030 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.19% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth is driven by major factors such as the increasing number of traumatic injuries caused by road traffic accidents annually, rising burn injuries, the rapidly aging population, and the ever-growing number of diabetic patients globally.
Approximately 1.19 million individuals lose their lives to road traffic accidents annually, according to a WHO report of December 2023. Wound care products play an important role in the treatment of traumatic, burn, or medical injuries, thus leading to the increasing demand for wound care.
The number of incidences of burn wounds globally has been increasing annually, leading to the growing demand for wound care. As per a report, the number of patients treated for burn injuries is approximately 450,000 annually. Advanced dressings, moisturizers, and ointments play an important role in the treatment of burn injuries. These products help with faster recovery of burn wounds and promote better wound healing. The frequent occurrence of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) caused due to diabetes mellitus type 2 is also leading to growing demand for diabetic wound care, which in turn is leading to market growth for wound care.
The market is constantly advancing with technological developments and innovations in the treatment of different types of wounds. Some of the innovations in advanced wound care include bioengineered tissues, digital monitoring of wounds, and intelligent dressings. These innovations deliver efficient and cutting-edge solutions for wound management. For example, in January 2023, a smart bandage that promotes healing by speeding up tissue repair with sophisticated electronics embedded within the bandage was introduced by the College of Medicine at the University of Arizona. Intelligent bandages employ biosensors and electrical stimulation to accelerate healing, enhance blood circulation, and reduce the amount of scarring.
The growing awareness regarding the environmental hazards of medical products and increasing costs associated with conventional wound care materials have led to developments in sustainable wound care solutions. Various products of wound care now include biodegradable materials that are environmentally friendly and much more affordable.
