Alginate Dressing Market Report Highlights

• Non-antimicrobial dominated the market in 2023. The segment’s dominance can be credited to the availability of products that are being used predominantly. In addition, the majority of companies provide low-cost products. However, with the development in technology, silver alginate dressing is gaining popularity, and thus, the use of non-antimicrobial alginate dressing is expected to decrease.

• Chronic wounds dominated the market in 2023. The rising incidence of diabetes and diabetic foot ulcers is a major factor driving the segment growth. For instance, according to ScienceDirect, more than 25% of diabetic patients may develop diabetic foot ulcers, and 20% of patients may require foot amputation.

• Home healthcare is expected to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast due to patients' increasing preference shift from hospital to home care settings for personalized wound care. Most of the surgeries require a prolonged recovery period, leading to frequent changing of dressings.

• North America's alginate dressing market held the largest share in 2023. The region’s dominance can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of chronic wounds, higher treatment costs, and the availability of appropriate reimbursement programs in the U.S. and Canada.
