AbstractAging Population Expands Market Base
As the U.S. population ages, demand will continue to rise for advanced dressings used to treat chronic wounds, such as pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, and diabetic ulcers. Moist wound dressings, which facilitate natural wound healing in a cost-effective manner, will increasingly be doctors’ treatment of choice for many of their elderly patients. This market, which comprises the largest segment of the total wound dressing industry, is anticipated to continue on a course of strong growth throughout the forecast period.
This Frost & Sullivan study examines the markets for five major types of moist wound dressing: alginates, hydrocolloids, transparent films, foam, and hydrogel dressings. It offers in-depth analyses of demand trends, identifies key market drivers and restraints, and presents expert revenue forecasts, giving your firm an unparalleled view of this dynamic field.
Product Innovation Stimulates Demand
"A strong focus on product innovation is expected to continue among market participants," states the study’s author. "Companies are creating different shapes of wound dressings, developing hybrid dressings that transcend current categories, and introducing products with improved functionality." The result should be increased adoption of these products by clinicians.
"Offering shapes that address special wound locations, such as the sacrum or the heel, will increase the probability of healing and make application easier for the clinician," says the analyst. "Hybrid dressings, such as transparent film and foam or hydrocolloid and foam, can combine the advantages of better visibility and exudate management." This study, which tracks technology trends and assesses their impact on end users, will allow your company to optimize its research and development efforts.
Lack of Differentiation Threatens Revenues
"The most prevalent challenge faced in moist wound dressing markets is product differentiation," according to the author. "As competition intensifies, product managers are finding it difficult to set their brand apart from others." Price competition will only intensify the situation, as wound dressings are perceived as commodities among end users.
Strategic partnering may offer solutions for some firms. If participants who are focused on product development foster ties with those that have large distribution channels, they stand to strengthen their brand and increase revenues. By pinpointing emerging obstacles and providing strategic recommendations, this study will enable your firm to develop an effective business plan.
