DUBLIN, Jan. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Wound Dressing Market by Type - Global Market Size, Share, Development, Growth, and Demand Forecast, 2013-2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Global wound dressing market size is expected to reach $17.3 billion by 2023

The market is mainly driven by increasing volume of surgeries; rising number of road accidents; surge in number of burn cases; growing incidence of chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcer, pressure ulcer, and venous ulcer; and rising prevalence of diabetes.

Insights into market segments

meAdvanced wound dressings and traditional wound dressings are the two types of wound dressings available in the market. Between these, the demand for advanced wound dressings is expected to witness higher growth, at a CAGR of 8.0%, during the forecast period. This is because advanced wound dressings have better efficacy than traditional wound dressings such as bandage, gauze, sponge, abdominal pad in wound healing.

Among the various advanced wound dressings, the market for superabsorbent wound dressings is expected to witness the fastest growth, with a CAGR of 10.5%, during the forecast period, mainly driven by the superior healing property of these products.

Based on application, the wound dressing market is categorized into surgical wounds, ulcers, and burns. Of these, the fastest growth during the forecast period is expected from the surgical wounds category, owing to the increasing volume of surgeries performed and increasing number of ambulatory surgical centers, globally.

North America sealed the largest share in the global wound dressing market

Globally, North America accounted for the largest share of the wound dressing market, with 40.5% share in 2017. This is attributable to increasing geriatric population, rising number of road accidents, growing number of diabetes and obesity cases, and increase in burn cases in the region.

Road accidents are responsible for the formation of severe wounds and their incidence is increasing, which is fueling the demand of wound dressing products. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety data, which was collected from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, 37,461 lives were lost on the U.S. roads in 2016, an increase of 5.6% from 2015. As a result, the demand for wound dressing is expected to increase in this region.

Key players are launching advanced wound dressing products to increase their market share

The key players operating in the wound dressing industry are launching various advanced wound dressing products in order to strengthen their position in the advanced wound dressing market. For instance, in 2017, ConvaTec Group Plc launched AQUACEL, a surgical dressing for reducing surgical site infection. It has a thin adhesive layer, to aid conformability for specific types of surgical wounds such as cesarean section and lumbar spine surgery, and also provides antimicrobial protection.
