The global moist wound dressings market size is expected to reach USD 6.50 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.49% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.. The increasing cases of acute & traumatic wounds, lacerations, diabetic ulcers, and chronic wounds, such as surgical and diabetic, are expected to boost market growth. According to a report by Elsevier, about 300 million acute wound injuries occur per year.The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the market growth. According to a study, patients with chronic leg ulcers were on the receiving end of collateral damage caused by restricted access to non-essential health services and overburdened healthcare systems during the pandemic. The same study showed that almost 75% of patients suffering from ulcers discontinued their treatment due to pandemic restrictions. The ongoing R&D in the healthcare field is leading to the development of new products. For instance, the advent of keratin-based wound care products.
These products facilitate wound re-epithelialization but also form part of dressings and aid in wound healing as the keratin matrix in them gets absorbed in the wound, thereby eliminating the need to change the dressing. Furthermore, the introduction of novel therapies, such as electromagnetic therapy, electrical stimulation, nanotechnology, and the use of silver and other combination dressings are boosting the market growth. These advancements ensure better wound care during any trauma, thereby supporting the market growth. Similarly, new products in the pipeline are anticipated to augment the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the U.S., the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and Harvard Medical School have developed a bandage that provides precise and scheduled drug delivery, which can be customized as per requirement. Such innovations are expected to create growth opportunities for the market participants.
