Advanced Wound Care Global Market Report 2026

Advanced wound care involves the treatment of chronic or complex wounds using specialized products that are not readily available over the counter. This approach offers various advantages, including the regulation of body temperature, prevention of infections, removal of dead tissue, avoidance of scar formation, and alleviation of discomfort during dressing changes. It is particularly beneficial for healing complex or difficult-to-treat wounds.

The primary types of advanced wound care devices include moist, antimicrobial, and active variants. Antimicrobial devices incorporate agents designed to eliminate or prevent the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, spores, or protozoa, specifically targeting bacterial presence in wounds. These devices find applications in treating both chronic and acute wounds and are utilized by various end-users, including hospitals, specialty clinics, home healthcare settings, and others.

Tariffs are impacting the advanced wound care market by increasing costs of imported bioengineered materials, NPWT components, antimicrobial agents, and specialized wound care devices. Hospitals and specialty clinics in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported high-value wound care technologies, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on advanced treatment products. These tariffs are increasing treatment costs and influencing procurement decisions. However, they are also driving local production, regional supplier partnerships, and innovation in cost-efficient advanced wound care solutions.

The advanced wound care market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.61 billion in 2025 to $12.43 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising prevalence of chronic and acute wounds, expansion of hospital wound care departments, increasing incidence of surgical wounds, growing diabetic population, availability of advanced wound care products.

The advanced wound care market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.43 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for advanced wound healing solutions, rising adoption of home healthcare wound management, expansion of personalized wound treatment approaches, growing focus on reducing healing time, increasing investment in wound care innovation. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of moist wound healing technologies, rising use of antimicrobial and active dressings, growing integration of npwt systems, expansion of bioengineered skin substitutes, enhanced focus on chronic wound management.

The increasing prevalence of diabetes is anticipated to accelerate the growth of the advanced wound care devices market in the coming years. Diabetes is a long-term medical condition marked by persistently high blood glucose levels caused by the body's inability to produce sufficient insulin or effectively utilize it, with insulin playing a key role in blood sugar regulation. The rising incidence of diabetes is generating greater demand for specialized advanced wound care devices, underscoring the need for ongoing innovation and sustained investment to address the specific complexities of diabetic wounds and improve patient outcomes. Advanced wound care supports diabetic patients by facilitating faster healing of chronic wounds, lowering infection risk, preventing severe complications such as ulcers or amputations, and enhancing overall skin integrity. For example, in June 2024, according to the National Health Service, a United Kingdom-based government department, in 2023 the National Health Service identified more than half a million additional individuals in England at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, increasing the total number of people with non-diabetic hyperglycemia, or pre-diabetes, registered with a general practitioner to 3,615,330. This marked a substantial rise from 3,065,825 in 2022, reflecting an increase of nearly 20%. Therefore, the growing burden of diabetes is contributing to the expansion of the advanced wound care devices market.

Major companies operating in the advanced wound care sector are increasingly focused on developing innovative solutions, including portable and patient-friendly negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) systems, to address the growing demand for accessible, home-based chronic wound management as healthcare delivery continues to shift toward outpatient care and remote monitoring. Negative pressure wound therapy works by applying controlled sub-atmospheric pressure to wounds, which promotes healing through the removal of excess fluid, reduction of edema, and stimulation of tissue regeneration; unlike conventional dressings, NPWT offers active and continuous wound management rather than passive protection. For instance, in April 2024, Smith+Nephew PLC, a United Kingdom-based medical technology company, launched the RENASYS EDGE NPWT System in the United States, a compact, lightweight, and low-noise device designed for home use by patients with chronic wounds. The system features a discreet canister and a near-field communication interface that provides step-by-step setup guidance, supports continuous therapy in ambulatory settings, operates quietly to maintain discretion, and is supported by 24-hour clinical assistance. In addition, Smith+Nephew partnered with national distributors, including SunMED Medical Solutions and First Nation Group, to broaden product availability, thereby supporting greater patient independence and treatment adherence.

In July 2023, Coloplast A/S, a Denmark-based healthcare technology company, completed the acquisition of Kerecis Limited for up to USD 1.3 billion. Through this acquisition, Coloplast A/S sought to strengthen its strategic position in the advanced wound care space by expanding into the fast-growing, United States-focused biologics segment. Kerecis Limited is an Iceland-based biotechnology company specializing in intact fish-skin-derived soft tissue regeneration products for wound healing, utilizing a patented platform that preserves the natural skin structure to support the repair of chronic, surgical, and burn wounds.
