Advanced Wound Care Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Increasing Cases of Chronic Wounds

Rapidly growing incidence of diabetes and chronic wounds is a major factor contributing to the growth of this market. Chronic diseases are among the most predominant and expensive health situations worldwide. Chronic diseases include diabetes, cancer, stroke, heart disease, hypertension, arthritis, respiratory diseases, oral diseases, and obesity. These can lead to long-term disability and hospitalization, which may reduce the quality of life and, ultimately, death.

In some parts of New Zealand, the rising incidence of early occurrence of type 2 diabetes is seen in many people. This has a certain risk of early death coupled with complications, including problems related to cardiac health. Some of the reasons responsible for the occurrence of chronic wounds such as the growing aging population and the increasing prevalence of diseases like overweight, hypertension, and the late side effects of radiation therapy.

For instance,

• According to IDF Diabetes Atlas, it is estimated that more than 96,000 children and adolescents under the age of 15 are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes every year, and 132,600 when the age number exceeds 20 years.

Chronic diseases are rapidly increasing day by day in many countries, and the Asia-Pacific accounts for the most number of cases of chronic diseases. The average suffering rate due to chronic disease is 7 out of 10 people, and increasing prevalence of chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers and foot ulcers. Hence they need to go for various surgeries. Thus, the rising incidence of diabetes and associated chronic wounds will have an impact on the advanced wound care market, which will propel the market in the futuristic period.

• New Product Launches

Conventional wound care products are replaced with advanced wound care products due to their increased efficacy and effectiveness in managing wounds by offering rapid healing. The companies, including B. Braun Melsungen AG, Coloplast Group, and Integra LifeSciences, among others, are taking initiatives to launch new products with advanced technologies.

For instance,

• In May 2020, Integra LifeSciences announced a positive clinical result for Integra Bilayer Wound Matrix (IBWM). This product is part of the company’s regenerative technology portfolio, which uses collagen and amniotic products.

To attract more customers and to create new marketing opportunities for growing companies engaged in advanced wound care, healthcare professionals and researchers are developing new and innovative products, and this leads to the growth of the advanced wound care market.

• Increasing Number of Patients Undergoing Surgical Procedures

According to National Center for Biotechnology Information, wound infection is an important issue observed in surgical sections. The cause of infection is associated with the patient and their disease. Also, the wound infection depends on age, gender, contamination of the wound, time and type of operation and anesthesia, hospitalization duration, and wound drainage.

As per National Center for Biotechnology Information, approximately 6.5 million patients are affected by chronic wounds. It is estimated that more than USD 25 billion is spent per year on the treatment of chronic wounds. This is tremendously increasing due to the rising aging population, healthcare expenses, and diabetic and obese population in the Asia-Pacific region.

About 72% of patients with pressure ulcers at the age of 65 years underwent surgery. Among those hospitalized patients, about 9 out of 10 were covered by government health programs, in which around 66% and 23% were covered by Medicare state and Medicaid programs, respectively. Patients diagnosed with pressure ulcers are generally admitted to the hospital for medical reasons rather than pressure ulcers. The pressure ulcer patients are diagnosed with pneumonia, urinary tract infections (UTI), septicemia, respiratory failure, congestive heart failure (CHF), and critical diabetes mellitus (DM). The number of hospital patients who develop pressure ulcers has increased by approximately 63% in the last decade.

Opportunities

• Growth Potential in Emerging Economies

For the wound care practitioner, the most advanced dressings in developing countries are important. These materials are made of a wide range of products such as polyurethane, alginic acid salts, and other polysaccharides that are gelable; these products are used in wound care in developed countries. The circumstances are different in developing economies where traditional agents such as chlorhexidine, sodium hypochlorite, cetrimide, hydrogen-peroxide, and others are commonly available to wound care providers. Wound healing is an important process, and as the wound moves towards healing, the quality specification of a dressing increases.

For instance,

• According to World Health Organization, approximately 400 million people worldwide are dealing with diabetes. In developing countries, the age of diabetes is 45–64. By 2030, developing countries are predicted to have more people with diabetes, about 82 million of which are 65 years of age, than developed countries (48 million). The diabetic population has at a major risk of foot ulcers. Thus, this will directly affect on advanced wound care.

China's increasing technological advancement involves the treatment of wound care for better products and dressings to widen the market. The aging population of China is becoming increasingly prone to chronic, unhealing wounds due to complications such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and diabetes. In rural areas with poor access to health care, traditional treatments such as sutures, specialized wound dressings, and tools for wound debriding tend to gain acceptance. Many patients from all over the world are heading to countries in Asia-Pacific to get medical treatment as they need to save the expenditures on treatments. India and Thailand are the top destinations for medical tourism. Cost is often a highly concerning reason that patients are traveling for medical treatment.

• According to an article published in IJITEE, India is one of the major countries in medical tourism compared to other countries. Patients are enthusiastically approaching India because of prices, weather, community, and holidays. , The arrival of foreign tourists in India for medical treatment in the year 2015 is more than 7101.9. The annual growth rate is around 30%, and the profits earned at the end of 2015 were around USD 1482 million. Because of economic health services, 150,000 customers travel to India each year.

In various developing economies, treatable wounds and medical tourism are the major reasons for the development of advanced wound care. Most of the advanced dressings need to be available in the market in developing countries for wound care. New technologies and products for wound care are introduced in developing countries. Thus, this will help to maximize the growth of the advanced wound care market in developing countries.
