Burn ointment plays a critical role in fire-related incidents by offering immediate relief, reducing pain, preventing infections, and promoting faster healing, ultimately minimizing complications and enhancing recovery. For instance, in October 2023, a report from Llywodraeth Cymru, a Welsh government department, highlighted that there were 4,800 accidental fires, including chimney fires, in 2022-23, reflecting a 4% increase from the previous year.

These products are made from sustainable, non-toxic, and biodegradable materials that are safe for both human health and the environment. Consumer demand for eco-friendly and natural products is rising as more people become health-conscious and seek alternatives that are both beneficial for their well-being and support environmental sustainability.

For example, in April 2024, Nutraceuticals World, a US-based media company, reported that in 2023, sales of natural and organic products increased by 4.8%, reaching $209 billion. This increasing preference for eco-friendly and natural products is fueling the growth of the burn ointment market.
