Skin repair is the biological process through which the skin restores its structure and function following injuries such as cuts, burns, or abrasions. This process involves a coordinated sequence of events, including hemostasis, inflammation, cell proliferation, and tissue remodeling, ultimately leading to wound closure and the re-establishment of the skin's protective barrier.
The primary types of skin repair products include collagen-based, hyaluronic acid-based, growth factor-based, stem cell-based, and peptide-based formulations. Collagen-based skin repair products are formulated with collagen to promote wound healing, enhance skin elasticity, restore damaged tissue, support tissue regeneration, maintain the skin's natural barrier, and reduce the risk of scarring or delayed recovery. Product forms include creams, ointments, gels, pads, dressings, and others, distributed through retail pharmacies, online platforms, hospital pharmacies, specialty stores, and additional channels. These products are applied to burns, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, pressure sores, and other skin injuries, and are used by hospitals and clinics, home care settings, skincare and aesthetic centers, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the consequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are severely impacting the healthcare sector, particularly in the supply of critical medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are facing higher costs for imported surgical instruments, imaging equipment, and consumables such as syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic alternatives. These increased costs are straining healthcare budgets, leading some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass on expenses to patients. Additionally, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the production of essential drugs and devices, causing supply chain bottlenecks. In response, the industry is diversifying sourcing strategies, boosting local manufacturing where possible, and advocating for tariff exemptions on life-saving medical products.

The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising prevalence of chronic skin conditions, increasing public awareness of skin health, a growing geriatric population, expansion of dermatology clinics, and increasing demand for cosmetic skin treatments.
The skin repair market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $113.00 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth expected in the forecast period can be linked to the increasing adoption of regenerative skin therapies, rising demand for home-based skin repair products, higher healthcare expenditure, expansion of markets in emerging economies, and government initiatives promoting skin health. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in delivery system technologies, innovations in bioactive compounds, development of personalized skin repair solutions, progress in regenerative medicine research, and the integration of digital diagnostics.
The rising prevalence of skin conditions is expected to drive growth in the skin repair market in the coming years. Skin conditions encompass a wide range of issues affecting skin health, including acne, eczema, psoriasis, and infections, which often require medical or cosmetic treatment. The increasing prevalence of these conditions is largely attributed to environmental pollution, as continuous exposure to pollutants can damage the skin barrier, trigger inflammation, and exacerbate existing skin issues. Skin repair treatments provide effective solutions for treatment, recovery, and long-term skin health. For instance, in August 2024, Trilliant Health, a U.S.-based healthcare analytics company, reported that impetigo cases increased by 32% between 2021 and 2023, underscoring the growing demand for advanced skincare solutions.
Key players in the skin repair market are leveraging technological advancements to revolutionize therapeutic approaches. One notable innovation is cell-based gene therapy (CBGT), which utilizes a patient's genetically modified cells to repair damaged skin tissue, correct underlying genetic defects, and promote regeneration. In April 2025, Abeona Therapeutics, a U.S.-based biopharmaceutical company, received U.S. FDA approval for Zevaskyn, the first cell-based gene therapy for recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), a rare genetic skin disorder. Zevaskyn represents a groundbreaking approach in dermatology by using autologous cell-based gene therapy to repair skin tissue, offering a potential paradigm shift in the treatment of RDEB.
In September 2023, Church & Dwight Co., Inc., a U.S.-based consumer goods company, acquired the Hero Mighty Patch brand and other acne treatment products from Hero Cosmetics for $0.6 billion. This acquisition allows Church & Dwight to broaden Mighty Patch's distribution through its established U.S. retailer relationships and global reach, while retaining the brand's operations in New York City and maintaining its existing workforce. Hero Cosmetics is a U.S.-based skincare company specializing in skin repair solutions.
