The global absorbent dressings market has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $7.92 billion in 2023 to $8.73 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the influence of regulatory frameworks, the customization of wound care solutions, demographic trends such as an aging population, and an increased incidence of chronic diseases. These factors have collectively contributed to the development and adoption of absorbent dressings for wound care during this period.
The global absorbent dressings market is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.82 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as global healthcare infrastructure development, an increased focus on wound healing properties, the adoption of patient-centric solutions, growth in the home healthcare market, and heightened infection control measures. Major trends expected in the forecast period include advancements in wound care, a rise in surgical procedures, the prevalence of chronic wounds, a growing preference among patients for comfort and convenience, and an increasing demand for absorbent dressings in home healthcare settings.
The anticipated rise in chronic wounds is poised to be a driving force behind the expansion of the absorbent dressings market. Chronic wounds denote injuries that exhibit delayed progression through the normal phases of wound healing. Absorbent dressings play a crucial role in managing wounds caused by surgical incisions, burns, accidents, diabetic wounds, skin grafts, and venous ulcers by absorbing exudate. For example, in December 2022, as per data from the Mission Regional Medical Center, a medical facility based in the US, it is estimated that 6.7 million individuals presently live with chronic wounds, with an anticipated growth rate of more than 2% over the next decade. Consequently, the escalation in chronic wounds is propelling the expansion of the absorbent dressings market.
The burgeoning aging population is expected to be a catalyst for the growth of the absorbent dressings market in the foreseeable future. This demographic phenomenon denotes a gradual increase in the proportion or count of elderly individuals within a population. Elderly individuals often encounter delayed wound healing, rendering absorbent dressings indispensable for effective wound management and better outcomes. These dressings contribute significantly to wound healing, infection prevention, and overall comfort, thereby supporting the well-being and quality of life of the elderly. For instance, in October 2022, as stated by the World Health Organization, the global populace aged 60 years or older is projected to reach six individuals by 2030, up from one billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion. By 2050, this age group is expected to double to 2.1 billion, with an additional 426 million individuals aged 80 years or older compared to the present. Hence, the growing aging population is steering the expansion of the absorbent dressings market.
Innovations in product offerings stand out as a prominent trend gaining traction within the absorbent dressings market. Major companies active in this sector are dedicated to developing novel products featuring enhanced healing capabilities and efficacy, aiming to fortify their market standing. For example, in April 2022, Global Health Technology, a MedTech company headquartered in Norway, introduced Erland Care Protective Skin, a cutting-edge wound dressing. This protective skin incorporates a distinctive, highly absorbent, and skin-friendly material facilitating breathability and creating optimal healing conditions for wounds. Notably, this dressing is waterproof and its silicone adhesive ensures easy removal, marking a significant advancement in wound care technology.
Prominent players in the absorbent dressings market are placing their focus on pioneering technological advancements, notably the development of advanced foam dressings, to attain a competitive advantage within the industry. Advanced foam absorbent dressings represent a specialized type of wound dressing crafted for advanced wound care purposes. These dressings possess high absorbency levels and are tailored for managing wounds that exhibit varying degrees of exudate, fostering a moist wound environment conducive to healing. For example, in January 2023, Convatec Group PLC, a UK-based medical device company, introduced ConvaFoam in the US market - a range of advanced foam dressings catering to the requirements of healthcare providers and patients. The ConvaFoam dressings integrate AQUACEL hydrofiber technology alongside a superabsorbent layer, rendering them suitable for managing both exuding and non-exuding wounds while ensuring intact skin protection. This series of dressings feature innovations such as a superabsorbent layer, a patterned film design aiding in exudate monitoring, an extended usage duration of up to seven days, heightened fluid absorbency capabilities, and enhanced silicone technology for improved adhesion. Furthermore, its customizable nature allows for easy cutting to fit complex areas during application.
In February 2022, Argentum Medical, a US-based medical device company, completed the undisclosed acquisition of Anacapa Technologies, thereby consolidating its position in the wound care market by integrating Anacapa Technologies' Anasept and Silver-Sept antimicrobial wound cleansers, irrigation solutions, and gels. Anacapa Technologies Inc., a US-based enterprise specializing in skin and wound care products, became part of Argentum Medical through this strategic acquisition. This integration marked a significant stride for Argentum in bolstering its offerings within the wound care sector by assimilating Anacapa Technologies' range of antimicrobial products, thereby expanding its portfolio and reinforcing its position in the industry.
