The global biomaterial wound dressing market size was estimated at USD 6.63 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 13.02 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.92% from 2025 to 2033. This growth is fueled by the rising burden of chronic and hard-to-heal wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and pressure injuries, which require advanced, biocompatible materials for faster healing and infection control.
Increasing numbers of surgical procedures worldwide are also boosting demand, as biomaterial-based dressings support improved postoperative recovery and reduce the risk of complications. Technological advancements, such as bioactive polymers, collagen-based scaffolds, and antimicrobial composites, continue to enhance product effectiveness. The shift toward moisture-balanced and regenerative wound therapies further supports market adoption.
The rising prevalence of chronic wounds is a key factor driving the market growth. For instance, as per the data published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. in October 2023, chronic wounds are affecting 10.5 million U.S. Medicare beneficiaries. Furthermore, chronic wounds are impacting the quality of life of nearly 2.5% of the total population of the U. S. Similarly, as per the report by the National Library of Medicine (NCBI), in August 2023, about 9.1 to 26.1 million incidences of diabetic foot ulcers occur each year globally. In addition, the rising incidences of burns are expected to propel the demand for collagen wound dressings. For instance, as per a report by Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC, in March 2023, around 450,000 people suffer burn injuries in America each year.
Hip and knee replacement procedures drive the biomaterial wound dressing market because these surgeries involve large incisions and significant tissue disruption, requiring advanced dressings that support faster healing and reduce postoperative complications. As the number of joint replacement surgeries continues to rise, driven by aging populations, osteoarthritis prevalence, obesity, and improved surgical accessibility, the need for effective wound-care solutions grows in parallel. Biomaterial dressings, such as collagen sheets, hydrofiber dressings, and antimicrobial bioactive materials, help manage exudate, prevent surgical site infections, and promote tissue regeneration, all of which are critical for successful recovery after orthopedic procedures. Hospitals and orthopedic centers utilize these advanced dressings to enhance healing outcomes, minimize hospitalization time, and reduce the risk of revisions, making hip and knee replacement surgeries a significant driver of market growth.
In November 2024, the American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR), a component of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Registry Program, announced that its database encompasses over 4 million hip and knee replacement procedures. The 11th Annual Report (2024) highlighted data from more than 3.7 million procedures done between 2012 and 2023.
Burn injuries significantly drive the biomaterial wound dressing market as they require advanced, high-performance dressings that support rapid healing, prevent infection, and minimize scarring. Burns damage multiple layers of skin, making traditional gauze insufficient; this increases the demand for biomaterial-based solutions, such as collagen dressings, hydrogel sheets, bioengineered skin substitutes, and antimicrobial biomaterial films. These products help maintain optimal moisture balance, accelerate tissue regeneration, and reduce pain, which are critical needs in burn care. The rising incidence of thermal burns, electrical burns, chemical burns, and scald injuries, especially in regions with industrial growth and high household accident rates, further accelerates adoption. In addition, specialized burn centers and hospitals prefer biomaterial dressings because they shorten recovery times, lower infection risks, and improve functional and cosmetic outcomes. This growing clinical reliance on advanced mat
erials makes burn injuries a major contributor to overall market growth.
