Most cuts and scratches are simple injuries that do not require immediate medical attention or a visit to the doctor. They can be treated at home with proper wound care. Wound care treatments contribute significantly to the nation's healthcare expenditure. Wound care products are broadly classified into two major categories: traditional wound care products and advanced wound care products. The choice between these categories depends on the nature of the injury and the condition of the wound.

Advanced wound care products are specifically designed to address complex wounds. This category includes foam dressings, hydrocolloids, hydrogels, films, and alginates. Advanced wound care therapy is based on the principle of moisture therapy, which involves providing moisture to the wounded area to naturally encourage cell repair. These products are particularly suitable for wounds of various sizes and shapes and offer resistance against foreign particles and environmental inhibitors.

The primary benefits offered by advanced wound care products include facilitating oxygen flow, protecting the wound from bacterial infections and foreign particles, maintaining a stable temperature around the wound site, removing dead tissue to prevent scarring, expediting cell repair and healing, and providing relief from pain during dressing changes.

Advanced Wound Care Market Insights

The global advanced wound care market is driven by changing trends. Recently, there has been an increase in the demand for combination dressing. The overall advanced wound care market has also witnessed developments due to the availability of nanofiber-based wound dressings. Combination dressing comprises combining the properties of different types of wound dressings to offer better healing and performance than individual products. Combination dressings such as silver collagen, silver alginate, and collagen hydrochloride combination dressing are commonly used for diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and infected wounds. They assist in wound healing and prevent the microbes to infect the wounded region. The greater therapeutic effectiveness of combination dressing is responsible for their increasing demand. Technological advancement in advanced wound care products is further expected to drive market growth. Companies engaged in manufacturing advanced wound care products are coming forth with innovative products to offer better treatment.

Traditional wound care products such as gauge, plaster, sponge, and wadding, have limited effectiveness as compared to advanced wound care products. Advanced wound care products have higher absorption capacity as compared to traditional wound care products, which is important to prevent wound seepage. It also allows oxygen exchange simultaneously, blocking the entry of microbes into the wounds. These dressings retain moisture and help in the formation of new tissue to cover the wound. Owing to these advantageous features over traditional wound care products, their popularity is increasing, thus leading to increased adoption of advanced wound care products. Other important factors driving the market growth include the increasing geriatric population, growing awareness towards the adoption of advanced wound care products, and increasing cases of burns, surgeries, and accidents among others. Burns caused by chemicals, friction, radiation, electricity, friction, and heat lead to a severe loss of skin, tissue, and blood vessels.

Advanced wound care products, such as artificial skin and substitutes, collagen dressing, hydrocolloid dressing, and hydrogel dressing are used for treating such burns. According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), approximately 15,775 fire-related injuries were reported in past year in the U.S. alone. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) publication nearly 1 million people suffer from moderate to severe burns every year in India. Thus, the increasing incidences of burn cases are driving the growth of this market.
