Abstract

According to in-depth analysis by visiongain, the value in 2002 of the world market for wound care products was nearly $6bn. But what will it be in 2008?

The report The World Wound Care Markets, 2001-2008 divides the market into three segments:

  • Traditional Wound Care Dressings
  • Advanced Wound Care Dressings
  • Novel Technologies

According to visiongain the total market will only grow 4 per cent annually to produce revenues in 2008 of over $7bn. The market is dominated by traditional wound care dressing and the mature growth rate in this segment does determine the low growth rate in the market as a whole. However, the advanced wound care market will show higher rates of growth but declining to 7 per cent in 2008. This segment contains the products:

  • Hydrocolloids
  • Hydrogels
  • Alginates
  • Foam Dressings
  • Transparent Film Dressings

The report examines in detail total revenues and growth rates of individual product types from 2001-2008. A thorough analysis of the market and of each product is made and the report highlights any major developments that are occurring in each field.

visiongain has outlined the major drivers in this market as the aging population, and the increasing incidence of obesity and diabetes. The report also discusses the novel technology of artificial skin and predicts a slow growth unless clinical improvements coupled with a price decrease are made. The market for topical skin adhesives is also analysed especially in the light of recent FDA approval for some products.
