Surgical Dressing Global Market Report 2024

The surgical dressing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.45 billion in 2023 to $3.68 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth observed in the historical period can be credited to several factors, including an increase in surgical procedures volume, the prevalence of chronic conditions requiring medical attention, initiatives focused on infection prevention, advancements in wound care practices, and the expansion and development of healthcare infrastructure.

The surgical dressing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.63 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to several factors, including the aging population, a greater emphasis on preventive healthcare practices, ongoing advancements in wound care technologies, global health challenges prompting increased attention to healthcare needs, and the increasing focus on patient-centric care. Key trends expected in this period include the development of customized dressing solutions tailored for specific wound types, a rise in the adoption of negative pressure wound therapy, the integration of telemedicine into wound care management practices, a growing demand for advanced hemostatic dressings, and the expansion of dressing options specifically designed for chronic wounds.

The growth of the surgical dressing market is expected to be driven by the increasing number of surgeries. Surgeries, a branch of medicine focused on treating diseases and injuries through manual or operative procedures, have seen a rise due to factors such as an aging population and an increased incidence of chronic diseases. Surgical dressings play a crucial role in post-operative wound care by covering and protecting surgical incisions, absorbing excess fluids, and acting as a barrier against bacteria and contaminants. The growing demand for surgical procedures consequently boosts the demand for surgical dressings. For example, a 2021 report from the Aesthetic Society revealed a significant 54% increase in surgical treatments in 2021 compared to the previous year, indicating a surge in surgical procedures and driving the growth of the surgical dressing market.

The growth trajectory of the surgical dressing market is also anticipated to be fueled by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. Chronic diseases, lasting a year or longer and requiring ongoing medical care, create a demand for advanced surgical dressings due to the need for frequent wound care and the elevated risk of infections. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the number of individuals aged 50 years and above with at least one chronic illness is projected to increase by 99.5% by the year 2050, emphasizing the growing need for surgical dressings in managing persistent medical conditions. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is a key driver behind the growth of the surgical dressing market.
