The traditional wound dressings segment holds higher share of the global market than the advanced wound dressings market in terms of revenue. However, the traditional wound dressings segment would register a low growth rate during the forecast period from 2014 to 2020.

Advanced wound dressings include a large number of novel and improved wound care products that use films, foams, hydrofiber, hydrocolloids, hydrogels, collagen and alginates. Over the past few years, demand for advanced wound dressings has increased considerably due to higher adoption of interactive/bioactive and antimicrobial dressings.
