The global first aid market is expected to reach USD 6.34 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 4.57% during the forecast period. The rising number of accidents and injuries has led to an increase in product demand. According to the International Labour Organization, around 2.3 million people in the world succumb to work-related accidents every year. Due to the rising number of accidents, employers are required to provide adequate first aid supplies and training to their employees under occupational health and safety regulations. Several new & innovative mobile applications and online resources have been launched in the market, which makes it easier for individuals to access first aid information and training, allowing them to respond more effectively to medical emergencies. For instance, in September 2022, DrySee created a patented bandage that changes color when it is time to change, improving wound care.
The color-changing feature helps users visually identify the moisture and determine when dressings and bandages need replacement. Furthermore, recently, researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles have developed a Smart Bandage that uses electrical stimulation to enhance the wound healing process and decrease the chances of infection. These types of advancements make first aid more accessible & effective for everyone and drive market growth. To ensure that people in remote areas have access to essential first aid products, innovative solutions, and partnerships will be necessary between healthcare providers, governments, and private sector organizations. Improving infrastructure and distribution channels for first aid supplies will be crucial in overcoming this challenge and ensuring that individuals receive the care they need, regardless of their location.
