Growth Drivers

• Rising prevalence of chronic diseases to promote growth

The global active wound care market is projected to grow owing to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases across the world. These are medical conditions that have a slow progression rate but persist for a longer duration, sometimes the entire lifetime of the patient. There are several factors that can cause the onset of a chronic condition including genetic influence, other medical conditions, and environmental factors. Some examples of the most common chronic conditions are hypertension, diabetes, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), cancer, arthritis, and chronic kidney disease. They are known to have a severe negative impact on the patient's quality of life and require continuous medical care or management. These conditions are responsible for taking up most of the resources available in the healthcare sector and hence there are ongoing efforts directed toward early detection or prevention of the diseases. Across the world, every year, millions of people get diagnosed with some form of a chronic condition and the numbers have been rising annually. These factors could promote global market growth.

Restraints

• High cost to restrict market expansion

Although not all types of wound care are expensive, the advanced version can be costly. When taking into consideration the lifelong medical care required by patients with chronic conditions, the total expense can cross more than thousands of dollars. In under-developed economies or nations that are suffering from natural disasters, social or political unrest, or any financial concern, the healthcare sector may be overburdened while the population struggles to afford basic healthcare. For instance, as per the American Diabetes Association, a person suffering from diabetes spends close to USD 16,752 annually on medical care.

Opportunities

• Technological advancements to support further growth

Since the global industry demand has risen significantly over the years and it could grow to higher numbers in the coming years, it is registering a surge in investments directed toward technological advancements. This in turn is anticipated to create further growth opportunities as the medical community becomes equipped with handling rare cases that seemed impossible a few years ago. This involves development in wound dressing, therapies, devices, or any other process. The improvements can aid in faster healing along with the reduced risk of complications.

Challenges

• The intense competition to challenge market growth

The global industry is extremely intense in terms of competition since it is full of players offering similar products and services and consistently trying to improve their offerings. Pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors are continuously investing in research & development with players trying to stay ahead in the game. This could act as a challenge for new entrants who are trying to make a mark as they face tough competition for the giants.
