Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 11/06/2014 --Wound care is a product category that consumers tend to buy preventively and store for some time in order to be prepared in the event of an accident. Therefore, sales are cyclical by nature and are characterised by lower demand in the winter months when people tend to reduce their outdoor physical activities. In order to maintain consumers' interest, manufacturers are constantly investing in new technology, often derived from surgical wound treatments, in order to encourage people to buy more advanced products, which are higher-margin items, as opposed to basic plasters and bandages.

Industry Prospects
The forecast period is expected to see wound care sales rise at a 1% value CAGR at constant 2013 prices, development that will be in line with the category's review period performance. Demand will be driven by further premiumisation in the form of delivery methods and the progressive evolution from basic sticking plasters to more advanced gels or sprays designed to seal and protect wounds.
