Description

The diabetic foot ulcers market size was valued at USD 6.32 Billion in 2024, driven by the rising incidence of diabetes across the 8 major markets. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.85% during the forecast period of 2025-2034, with the values likely to reach USD 11.16 Billion by 2034.

Diabetic Foot Ulcers Market Overview

Diabetic foot ulcers are a medical condition characterized by wounds or sores on the feet and slow healing or non-healing because of poor blood or vascular circulation, or peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients. These ulcers can prove disastrous if not well managed as they can cause infections, gangrene, and ultimately amputation. Since diabetes incidence is increasing worldwide, the management and handling of diabetic foot ulcers are emerging as an essential area of concern amongst researchers and major market players, leading to the advent of several innovative treatment alternatives.

Diabetic Foot Ulcers Market Growth Drivers

Rising Prevalence of Diabetes Boosts the Market Growth

The rising occurrence of diabetes is a key factor driving the market growth. In 2023, the International Diabetes Federation estimated that by 2045, 1 in 10 adults will be diagnosed with the disease for an overall of 783 million people across the globe. Over 90% of them will develop type 2 diabetes because of socio-economic, demographic, environmental, and genetics. Population growth, particularly in urban areas, rising elderly population, low physical activity, and higher prevalence of overweight and obesity are major drivers of the market growth.

Advancements in Wound Care to Meet Rising Diabetic Foot Ulcers Market Demand

It has been observed that the market for diabetic foot ulcers has expanded because of the progress in the technology of wound care such as advanced dressings and skin substitutes. Such technologies enhance the rate of healing, protect the patient from infections, and facilitate quicker recovery. Through the simulation of natural skin, the skin substitutes act as a barrier and promote tissue formation thereby improving the patients’ results and fostering market growth.

Diabetic Foot Ulcers Market Trends

Emphasis on Early Diagnosis via Partnerships Between Market Players

In March 2023, Pune-based, Mylab Discovery Solutions, collaborated with the DnaNudge, a UK-based company, to launch a diabetic foot ulcer detection kit. This ground-breaking kit detects bacteria in infections and offers molecular antimicrobial resistance data in an hour. It allows doctors to define which antibiotic should be used for each individual and minimize the chances of antimicrobial resistance. This partnership is expected to help a large number of diabetic patients in India at risk of having their limbs amputated by diagnosing and managing them effectively for diabetic foot infections.

Telemedicine and Remote Monitoring to Enhance Diabetic Foot Ulcers Market Value

Telemedicine and wearable technology have revolutionized diabetic foot ulcer care by enabling remote monitoring, early detection of complications, and real-time treatment adjustments, enhancing patient convenience, reducing hospital visits, and improving treatment outcomes.

Adoption of Novel Therapeutics for Effective Management and Treatment

Alternative therapeutic methods, including stem cell and tissue engineering, are being increasingly applied in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. Such strategies enhance quicker healing of the wound as they trigger the formation of new tissue besides minimizing the possibility of an infection. They may represent an efficient treatment approach compared to conventional methods, especially in the case of chronic or nonhealing ulcers.

Preference for Personalized Medicine to Impact the Diabetic Foot Ulcers Market Size Positively

The adoption of personalised approaches targeting genetics, and medical records is one of the major market trends. This personalization of the treatment is aimed at enhancing the results thereby reducing the chances of negative side effects. It guarantees the client optimal treatment that is specific to their illness or disorder.
