The Global Alginate Dressing Market is anticipated to witness impressive growth during the forecast period. This can be ascribed to the growing prevalence of diabetes and diabetic foot-related ulcers across the globe. Additionally, the growing demand for better low-cost treatment, coupled with increasing aesthetic consciousness among the population has significantly increased the demand for alginate dressing worldwide. Additionally, the rising geriatric population across the globe, which is susceptible to different kinds of diseases and accidents, is further expected to increase the demand for different dental contouring procedures, thereby fuelling market growth through 2028. Besides, the increasing development of hospitals and clinics along with surgeries leading to frequent changing of dressings, due to prolonged recovery periods, is further expected to support the alginate dressings market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the growing prevalence of sports injuries is further expected to increase the demand for alginate dressing, thereby supporting market growth. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 1.1 million people suffer burn injuries that require medical attention every year in the United States.

Growing Prevalence of Wound Infections

The increasing prevalence of surgeries for chronic diseases globally is expected to propel the market growth during the forecast period. Additionally, the increasing number of traumatic accidents such as road accidents, burn cases, gunshot wounds, etc., across the globe is expected to further propel the industry growth over the years. For instance, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an estimated 38,680 people died in 2020 because of motor vehicle crashes. This was a 7.2% increase from 2019. Similarly, conventional emergency treatment items that are at present used for twisted dressings in clinics and homecare settings have a few downsides, for example, helpless assimilation of wound exudates, the powerlessness of keeping up damp climate, helpless gas trade between the climate and the injury, unfavorably susceptible and non-sterile responses, evacuation trouble of twisted dressings after recuperating, etc. In addition, according to a study by Wounds International, the incidence rate of SSIs in general surgery was found to be 11.7%, which resulted in 19.2% of patients being readmitted throughout the study period. Further, the growing economy in the region, increasing traumatic ulcer patient pool, and continuous government initiative and investment for new healthcare product development are major factors expected to boost demand for alginate dressings during the forecast period.
