The smart bandage market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.94 billion in 2024 to $1.1 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for minimally invasive and personalized healthcare solutions, improving healthcare infrastructure, rise in incidence of diabetic foot ulcers, growth in acceptance of telemedicine and telehealth solutions, rise number of diabetes patients.

The smart bandage market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.04 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed increasing cases of chronic diseases, increasing geriatric population, rising healthcare expenditure, growing awareness about wound care management, increasing demand for personalized wound car. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancement, increasing research and development programs, adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), adoption of wireless technology, focusing on research and development in smart bandages.

The growing incidence of sports injuries is expected to fuel the expansion of the smart bandage market in the future. Sports injuries refer to physical harm or damage that occurs during sports or physical activities. As training intensity and frequency increase, athletes are putting more strain on their bodies, which heightens the risk of overuse injuries. Smart bandages offer real-time monitoring, improving the healing process by tracking vital signs, detecting infections, and assessing tissue repair progress. This allows for personalized treatment, accelerating recovery and reducing complications for athletes. For example, in October 2024, Insideworldfootball, a UK-based news service, reported that sports injuries during the 2023-24 season totaled 4,123, representing a 4% rise from the 2022-23 season. Consequently, the increase in sports injuries is contributing to the growth of the smart bandage market.

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the smart bandage market in the coming years. Chronic diseases are long-lasting health conditions that persist for three months or more, require ongoing medical attention, or limit daily activities. The incidence of chronic diseases is increasing due to factors such as genetic predisposition, aging populations, and unhealthy lifestyle choices. Smart bandages play a vital role in managing these diseases by enabling early detection of complications, facilitating remote monitoring and treatment, offering personalized care, and preventing further issues. These advantages lead to improved patient outcomes and a better quality of life for those suffering from chronic conditions. For example, in September 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based intergovernmental agency, reported that chronic diseases are responsible for around 41 million deaths annually, accounting for 74% of all global fatalities. This includes 17.9 million deaths from cardiovascular diseases, 9.3 million from cancer, 4.1 million from chronic respiratory diseases, and 2 million from diabetes. As a result, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is a key driver of growth in the smart bandage market.

Leading companies in this market are actively engaged in R&D efforts to create innovative products such as wirelessly powered bandages, aiding patients with non-healing wounds and infection prevention. Wirelessly powered bandages, utilizing wireless technology for power and data transfer sans physical connections, are being developed by researchers in the UK and France. These bandages are flexible, adaptable, and user-friendly, facilitating continuous wound monitoring and therapy. For instance, in May 2023, researchers from the University of Glasgow and the University of Southampton introduced wirelessly powered smart bandages equipped with UV light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for bacterial control without antibiotics. The LEDs receive power wirelessly via a small, flexible inductive coil embedded in the bandage cloth, which receives power from a second coil linked to the electrical mains, ensuring continuous LED operation. This wireless power delivery technology boasts twice the efficiency of previous wearable power receivers, making it ideal for medical applications.
