Growing
Trend Towards Self-Treatment of Wounds Sustains Demand for Traditional Wound
Management Products, According to a New Report by Global
Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA launches comprehensive
analysis of industry segments, trends, growth drivers, market share, size and
demand forecasts on the global Traditional Wound Management Products market. The
global market for Traditional Wound Management Products is projected
to reach US$9.3 billion by 2022, supported by the growing trend towards
self-treatment of wounds, product innovations, and growing demand from
developing countries.
Traditional wound care
comprising topical ointments, adhesive bandages and gauzes represents the
standard treatment approach for minor injuries and cuts. These products
principally offer treatment through wound coverage, thereby offering protection
against potential infection. Despite the growing transition to advanced
products, traditional wound management products continue to account for the
bulk of the overall wound management products market. Growing consumer preference
for self-care remains a perpetual growth driver in the market. Also, growing
awareness and knowledge of emergency first aid bodes well for the market. Aging
population, growing incidence of lifestyle diseases such as obesity and
diabetes, favorable medical reimbursement policies in various countries and
advancements in medical technology, among other factors continue to have a
major impact on the market.
Among the product
categories, demand for adhesive bandages is largely sustained by first-aid
activities, with these products widely used in homes for treating small cuts,
bruises, and sports injuries. Liquid
or Spray Bandages are among the recent developments in the area of adhesive
bandages. Besides keeping dirt and bacteria away from the wound, liquid bandage
aids in reducing pain by covering nerve endings. Another factor benefiting sales
in the market is the introduction of decorative bandages in varying shapes,
sizes, and color. In addition, there are roll-ons and gel-centered bandages for
blisters, latex-free bandages for sensitive skin, eco-friendly bandages with
recycled plastic/PVC and animal-free adhesives, and ionized-silver bandages. Companies
are focusing on the development of next generation of smarter bandages with
added functionalities such as detection of infections at an early stage without
removing the bandage and controlled release of drugs for optimum wound healing.
Research is also underway to transform wound dressings into precise
drug-delivery systems by incorporating nanomaterials. Nanotechnology enables
incorporation of drugs between the bandage layers and also allows control over the
amount of drug that can be released.
As stated by the new
market research report on Traditional
Wound Management Products, the Europe represents the largest market worldwide. Asia-Pacific
is forecast to emerge as the fastest growing market worldwide with a CAGR of 4.2%
over the analysis period led by factors such as low price of traditional wound
care products and their affordability across a larger section of the population
and low levels of awareness over alternate advanced wound management solutions.
Traditional products continue to be the mainstay of the market given the
limited accessibility to healthcare services, and limited insurance coverage
for advanced wound management solutions.
Major players in the
market include B.Braun Melsungen AG, Beiersdorf
AG, Cremer S.A., Medtronic plc, Derma Sciences Inc., Johnson & Johnson,
Paul Hartmann AG, and Synergy Health Plc, among others.
