Wound debridement is a process to eliminate the foreign invaders, dead tissues, and toxic substances from human wounds. Wound debridement products aid in lowering the poisonous materials that prevent the wounds from getting healed. Growing geriatric population and the presence of serious wounds are propelling the market.
The global wound debridement market is driven by the increase in aging population, rise in prevalence of diabetes and associated wounds, increasing number of burn injuries, technological advancements in products, awareness programs for wound care treatment and management, growth in obesity levels and reimbursement policies.
As per Department of Economic and Social Affairs Population Division of United Nations, 2017, the world's population who are 60 years old will double and those of 80 years old will triple during the next 30 years. As per WHO, the number of people of age 65 or older is expected to grow to around 1.5 billion in 2050, with most of the increase in the developing countries. Thus, the growing geriatric population, who are more prone to chronic illness, are driving the market.
By product, the wound debridement market is segmented into Gels, Ointments & creams, Surgical devices, Medical gauzes, Mechanical debridement pads, Ultrasonic devices, and Others.
Gels segment is expected to boost the market over the forecast period, owing to the advantages such as no inflammation, reduced bleeding, and safe removal of necrotic tissues without causing infection. Also, the presence of research activities using gels are likely to bolster the market.
By wound type,
• Venous leg ulcers
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Pressure ulcers
• Surgical & traumatic wounds
• Burns
• Other Wounds.
The burns segment is expected to boost the market, owing to the increasing cases of burns. As per the WHO, an estimated 180 000 deaths occur every year due to burns in low- and middle-income countries. Thus, there is a need to launch different debridement products for healing it.
The pressure ulcers segment is expected to boost the market, owing to the rising prevalence of pressure ulcers and the presence of research activities regarding the treatment. According to the Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research, pressure ulcers affect up to 2.5 million patient per year, and related costs range from $9.1 to $11.6 billion per year in the US. They are largely preventable, and 60,000 patients die as a direct result of pressure ulcers each year.
By end-user
• Hospitals
• Home care
• Specialty clinics
• Others.
The specialty clinics segment is expected to boost the market over the forecast period. For instance, according to a study published in PLOS ONE by academics in Australia and the UK on March 8, 2019, showed that the specialist clinics are the most cost-effective route for the chronic wounds with better results for the patients. Chronic wounds like diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers are often associated with long-term health conditions.
