U.S. Wound Care Centers Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Procedure (Debridement, Negative Pressure Wound Therapy, Compression Therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy), And Segment Forecasts, 2022 - 2030

Report Overview

The U.S. wound care centers market size was valued at USD 13.5 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.87% from 2022 to 2030. The increasing prevalence of chronic injuries in the geriatric population and the growing demand for outpatient services is expected to drive the growth during the forecast period. In addition, the growing adoption of new technologies such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy for treating non-healing and chronic injuries is expected to result in an increased demand for wound care centers in the U.S.

The demand for wound care services has been on the rise. According to an article published in Advances in Wound Care, in February 2019, around 2% of the U.S. population was affected by chronic wounds. Pressure alone, or in combination with friction, results in Pressure Ulcers (PUs), which cost more than USD 11 billion annually in the U.S., according to the Agency for Health Research and Quality (AHRQ). Another major type of wound is venous ulcer, which contributes to around 70% of total lower extremity ulcers, resulting from chronic venous insufficiency.

The rise of the wound and tissue management industry in the U.S. is due to a number of factors. The demographic structure of the population is a major growth factor. In 2021, 16.9% of the population will be 65 years old or older by 2030, this percentage is predicted to reach around 20%. Venous leg ulcers will affect 3-6 percent of this group, according to estimates. The costs of treatment for these people will add to the already large healthcare industry in the U.S.

There are reimbursement codes specific to products, diagnoses, and procedures/services, which are generally updated on an annual basis. The CMS includes reimbursement for advanced therapies, such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy for diabetic injuries in lower extremities of patients, and injuries classified as Wagner grade III or higher. The CPT Codes 11042-11047, 97598, and 97597 are used for wound care billing. The availability of reimbursement and regulatory updates promotes the adoption of wound care treatment.

COVID-19 U.S. Wound Care Centers Market Impact: 2.2% increase from 2020 to 2021

Other initiatives implemented by providers include the deployment of multidisciplinary wound care teams consisting of infectious disease specialists, nurses, vascular specialists, podiatrists, orthotists/prosthetists, nutritionists, plastic surgeons, and pharmacists to enhance wound care outcomes. This is owing to the delivery of specialized wound care in combination with the adoption of established and standardized wound care management protocols & programs.

Procedure Insights

The Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) segment dominated the U.S. wound care centers market and held the largest revenue share in 2021. The segment is followed by debridement and specialized dressing procedures, in terms of revenue share. Effective outcomes with the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for chronic injuries such as diabetic foot ulcers and arterial ulcers are expected to aid the high demand for hyperbaric oxygen therapy from physicians.

Wound care centers provide care for various types of injuries, debridement of injuries with infections, HBOT for non-healing and chronic injuries, and specialized dressings. The centers are taking measures to make HBOT available to their patients, considering its effectiveness in healing chronic and non-chronic injuries.

Moreover, centers are adopting technologically advanced tools such as Electronic Medical Records (EMR), which help save time required for documentation and enable physicians to focus on the treatment and data analytical tools to provide evidence-based treatment to their patients. To attract patients by creating awareness regarding available wound care treatments, centers organize awareness programs.

The industry is also witnessing the launch of new centers, expansion of facilities, and inclusion of HBOT chambers.
