Middle East & Africa Wound Wash Market Summary

The Middle East & Africa wound wash market size was estimated at USD 2.12 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 3.76 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.59% from 2025 to 2033. The growth of the market is attributed due to the rising prevalence of chronic and acute wounds, including diabetic ulcers and surgical injuries, coupled with increasing healthcare infrastructure and access.

Technological advancements in bioactive and antimicrobial wound cleansers, along with the shift toward home healthcare and self-care, have further boosted demand. Supportive government initiatives and policies aimed at improving wound management, particularly for chronic conditions, are also driving market expansion across the region.

The increasing number of road accident injuries is a significant factor driving the growth of the wound wash market in the Middle East and Africa. Wound wash products, such as antiseptics and saline solutions, are essential for cleaning injuries sustained in road accidents. Countries such as the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have reported a rise in injuries related to road and traffic accidents. The graphs below illustrate the growing burden of injuries associated with road accidents across various countries in the Middle East and Africa.

Furthermore, Egypt has witnessed a significant increase in traffic accident injuries, which is expected to drive the demand for wound wash solutions, thereby supporting growth in the market.

The growing elderly population across the Middle East and Africa is expected to boost the demand for wound wash solutions significantly. Older individuals are more likely to undergo surgical procedures and are therefore at a higher risk of developing both acute and chronic wounds. In addition, the majority of the aging population suffers from one or more chronic conditions.

A study published by Frontiers in February 2025 profiled older adults in Saudi Arabia during 2022 - 2023, examining their health status, socioeconomic conditions, demographic characteristics, and lifestyle behaviors. The findings revealed that over 52% of participants had two or more chronic illnesses, with hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes being the most prevalent. The high incidence of diabetes and other chronic diseases among the elderly significantly increases the risk of developing chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and surgical or traumatic wounds. These conditions require effective wound management solutions, including wound wash products. Therefore, an aging population and a rising prevalence of chronic health issues among older individuals are expected to drive market growth in the coming years.

Several countries across the Middle East and Africa have experienced a rising burden of an aging population, which is expected to accelerate in the coming years.

The growing prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer increases the risk of developing chronic and acute wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcer, pressure ulcer, leg ulcer, and surgical & traumatic wounds, which is anticipated to boost the adoption of wound wash solutions in the Middle East & Africa market.

The growing emphasis on enhancing accessibility and availability of wound care products, including wound wash solutions, is creating significant opportunities for industry players in the Middle East and Africa region. Both private companies and government organizations are actively undertaking initiatives to expand product reach across various markets.

For instance, in June 2025, the Minister of Health of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia inaugurated Tamer Mölnlycke Care, a strategic joint venture between Mölnlycke Health Care, a manufacturer of wound wash products, and the Tamer Group, a prominent healthcare distributor in Saudi Arabia. This partnership focuses on the local distribution and manufacturing of Mölnlycke’s portfolio, including surgical drapes, customized procedure trays, gowns, emollient products, and selected wound care items.

“This partnership underscores our dedication to the Middle Eastern market and aligns with the Saudi Vision 2030. By expanding our product range and investing locally, we aim to enhance healthcare quality and contribute to regional growth. We extend our gratitude to Tamer Group for their unwavering support and look forward to achieving great milestones together.”SaidZlatko Rihter, CEO of Mölnlycke.
