Antimicrobial Wound Gel Market Trends

• Increased Prevalence of Acute and Chronic Injuries And Wound Infections Propels Market Growth

The rising incidence of chronic wounds is a major factor driving market CAGR in the Antimicrobial Wound Gel Market. Wounds, including acute and chronic wounds, constitute a major healthcare burden worldwide due to their frequency in a variety of acute and chronic disorders. On a global scale, the incidence of both acute and chronic diseases has increased significantly. About 33% of persons worldwide have two or more chronic diseases, generally known as multiple chronic conditions (MCC). Chronic diseases include cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, chronic lung disease, and diabetes. MCCs affect around 26% of the population in the United States, 37% in the United Kingdom, and 9.4% in the metropolitan South Asian region.

Chronic wounds consist mostly of DFUs, pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, and surgical site injuries that last more than a month. Chronic wounds cannot heal normally and require specialized wound care therapy. Approximately 1% to 2% of the population in affluent countries is expected to sustain a chronic wound during their lives. Chronic wounds that go untreated might result in amputation or even death. According to the World Health Organisation, the prevalence of nosocomial infections ranges from 3% to 21%, with wound infections accounting for 5% to 34% of the total. All of these events contribute to market expansion.

Moreover, Surgical procedures, both elective and emergency, drive demand for wound care products such as antimicrobial dressings. The growth of surgical interventions, notably in orthopedics and cardiovascular surgery, helps to expand the industry. Patients are frequently left with surgical wounds that require adequate care and treatment to promote healing and prevent infections. Antimicrobial wound care dressings are necessary for this reason because they serve to produce a sterile environment around the wound, lowering the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs). Thus, driving the Antimicrobial Wound Gel Market revenue.

Antimicrobial Wound Gel Market Segment Insights

Antimicrobial Wound Gel Product Insights

The Antimicrobial Wound Gel Market segmentation, based on Product, includes Silver Dressings, Povidone-iodine Dressings, PHMB Dressings, and Others. Silver Wound Dressing is the largest segment, accounting for 39.5% of the market. Silver wound dressings are antimicrobial wound care dressings that use silver as the active element. Silver wound dressings can take many forms, including foam, gauze, hydrocolloid, and alginate dressings. The dressings function by releasing silver ions, which serve to kill or suppress bacteria in the wound bed. Silver wound dressings are very beneficial for treating chronic wounds like pressure ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers, which are prone to infection. They are also used to treat surgical wounds, lowering the risk of infection and promoting speedier recovery.
