#3. Improved Healing Times to Boost Global Wound Dressings Market

By type, the global wound dressings market is segmented into traditional wound dressings and advanced wound dressings. The various types of advanced wound dressings available in the global market are collagen, alginates, hydrofiber, hydrocolloids, films, and foams. The foams segment will enjoy strong growth in the coming few years due to the faster healing and advances in their basic design.

#4. Global Wound Dressings Market Fuelled by Rising Incidence of Wound Infections

The growing incidence of wound infections is promoting the sale of wound dressings around the world. According to the National Institutes of Health, in the U.S., chronic wounds affect approximately 6.5 mn patients annually, which augurs well for the wound dressings market.

#5. Reluctance of Practitioners to Hamper Global Wound Dressings Market

Although traditional wound dressings are preferred by healthcare practitioners and patients due to their low prices and well-established reimbursement policies, this is not the case for advanced wound dressings. The skeptical attitude of general practitioners towards accepting novel technologies will hamper the growth of the global wound dressings market significantly.

Region-wise, the global wound dressings market is divided into Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, and Rest of the World. Players in the global wound dressings market will benefit from the expanding healthcare expenditure and rising investments in emerging economies.
