Acute Wound Care Market Size To Reach $11.96 Billion By 2030

Acute Wound Care Market Growth & Trends

The global acute wound care market size is expected to reach USD 11.96 billion in 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2025 to 2030. A rise in burn incidence cases, an increase in the global geriatric population, and rising cases of traumatic accidents are expected to be the key driving factors for the market.

The global rise in various burn cases is contributing to the growth of the market. For instance, according to ImpactLaw, out of total chemical burn cases, 22,000 cases are due to exposure to acid. Similarly, 55,500 burn cases can be accredited to exposure to alkaline solutions. Moreover, as per the NCBI, each day, an estimated 30,000 people suffer from burn injuries, whereas, it is predicted that annually, approximately 11 million people suffer due to burn incidents. Acute wound care products such as advanced wound dressing are used to treat burn marks. Thus, rising burn incidences are expected to drive the market.

Furthermore, the number of traumatic incidences such as abrasion, lacerations, road accidents, and assaults is growing. For instance, according to stats by the NCBI, abrasions are the most common form of injury in children accounting for 70.7% of all injuries. Similarly, as per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, 2.7 million non-fatal injuries were reported by private industry labor in 2020. Moreover, according to Brady United, every year, around 117,345 people are shot down leading to acute wounds. As there has been a rise in acute wounds due to the above-mentioned factors, the market is anticipated to grow over the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a minor decrease in the market size. However, with the availability of vaccines and ease of lockdown, the market is expected to grow during the post-pandemic period. This can be attributed to various strategic initiatives by major market players, along with improvements in the home healthcare system. For instance, in January 2022, ConvaTec Group PLC entered into a definitive agreement with Triad Life Sciences Inc. According to this agreement, ConvaTec will acquire Triad Life Sciences Inc. in order to strengthen its advanced wound care business.
