The global chronic wound care market size was estimated at USD 13.8 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 19.5 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.11% from 2025 to 2033. The chronic wound care market continues to expand due to rising diabetes-related ulcers, a growing geriatric population, and increasing prevalence of pressure and venous leg ulcers.
Adoption of advanced dressings, NPWT systems, and infection-control technologies-combined with greater investment in specialty wound centers and home-care services-is further accelerating market growth. According to the article published by the National Rural Health Association in November 2025, diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) significantly strain Critical Access Hospitals (CAH). With 38.4 million Americans living with diabetes and higher prevalence in rural regions, DFUs drive more hospitalizations, emergency visits, and wound-care needs. This increases clinical workload, resource pressure, and operating costs for CAHs. The article emphasizes that structured wound-care programs and regular podiatry screenings can reduce complications and improve patient retention
The chronic wound care market is driven by the growing number of patients living with long-lasting ulcers and the associated treatment costs. The rising clinical and economic burden of chronic wounds continues to be a significant driver for growth in the chronic wound care market. According to an article published in the journal Advances in Wound Care in 2025, chronic wounds affect an estimated 10.5 million Medicare beneficiaries in the U.S., creating substantial demand for ongoing treatment. The journal reports that Medicare spends tens of billions of dollars annually due to slow-healing ulcers, complications, and recurrent hospitalizations. As populations age and diabetes, obesity, and vascular disease increase, payers and providers are forced to invest more in advanced wound care solutions, sustaining long-term market growth.
