Wound Irrigation Systems Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Manual, Battery-operated), By Application (Burns, Chronic Wounds, Surgical Wounds, Traumatic Wounds), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2021 - 2028

Report Overview

The global wound irrigation systems market size was valued at USD 283.45 million in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8% from 2021 to 2028. The demand for wound irrigation systems is on the rise owing to technological advancements, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, and the rising number of surgical procedures. The rising prevalence of chronic and acute wounds and the introduction of advanced products are the major factors anticipated to drive the market. For instance, in February 2017, Centurion Medical Products launched a wound irrigation system IRIG-8 for acute wound management in the emergency room. This system rapidly delivers irrigation solutions in high volumes to acute wounds with constant pressure. Such technological advancements are anticipated to propel the market growth over the forecast period.

Moreover, the high prevalence rate of diabetic foot ulcers is anticipated to drive the market. For instance, as per the article published by the Cochrane UK, in 2017, venous leg ulcers were the most common type of leg ulcers in the U.K. and around 1.0% of the population and 3.0% of the people aged 80 years and above suffered from venous leg ulcers. Therefore, such factors are anticipated to positively impact the wound irrigation system market growth over the forecast period.

Globally, the number of surgeries is increasing owing to which the incidence rate of surgical site infection is also anticipated to rise. According to a report published by the Health Research Educational Trust (HRET) in 2018, around 15.0 million surgeries are performed in the U.S. every year and approximately 2.0% to 5.0% of patients develop surgical site infection. Wound irrigation system allows a steady flow of solutions across the open wound surface, which provides better hydration of deep surgical site and wounds. The system also allows precise removal of cellular debris and surface pathogens from the wound exudates. As wound irrigation system allows rapid healing of surgical site infection, thus the rising number of surgical procedures is anticipated to surge the demand for wound irrigation system, thereby propelling the market growth.

The rising cases of traumatic events and road accidents are also one of the major reasons for market growth. For instance, as per the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma, in 2017, around 1.2 million people died from road accidents across the globe, which is around 3,242 people per day. Such cases are expected to surge the demand for rapid wound healing products.

The global increase in the incidence of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, and other autoimmune diseases, is anticipated to fuel the market growth. Factors such as antimicrobial resistance, adoption of unhealthy and sedentary lifestyles, alcohol consumption, and smoking are some of the major factors contributing to the rise in the prevalence of non-communicable diseases. According to the National Diabetes Statistic Report 2017, published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 100.0 million people in the U.S. were living with diabetes or prediabetes. In addition, the WHO reported that in 2016, approximately 1.6 million deaths globally were directly caused due to diabetes. Therefore, such factors are expected to surge the demand for the product, thereby propelling the market growth.

Product Insights

The manual wound irrigation system segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 55.45% in 2020. The manual wound irrigation system involves thumb-controlled pressure and provides an accurate forceful stream directly to the desired site. This system is majorly used for deep surgical wounds and hard-to-heal wounds. Therefore, the increasing cases of surgical site infection and diabetic foot ulcers are anticipated to drive the segment over the forecast period.

The battery-operated wound irrigation system is anticipated to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period. The battery-operated wound irrigation system allows rapid and efficient removal of necrotic tissue, foreign material, and bacteria. This system is easy-to-use and reduces the risk of acquiring cross-contamination. The battery-operated wound irrigation system is majorly used for burn cases and chronic wounds.

Application Insights

The chronic wounds segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 33.59% in 2020. Based on application, the market has been categorized into burns, surgical wounds, traumatic wounds, and chronic wounds. According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, more than 6.5 million people suffered from chronic wounds in the U.S. in 2017. It also reported that around 1.0% to 2.0% of the total population of the developed countries are anticipated to suffer from some kind of chronic wounds during their lifetime.

The chronic wounds segment is anticipated to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period. The increasing cases of chronic diseases, especially diabetes, across the globe are fueling the segment growth. For instance, as per the report published by the WHO in 2019, chronic diseases are one of the leading causes of disability and deaths globally and the disease rate from chronic conditions is also accelerating worldwide. Furthermore, as per the report published by the Fight Chronic Disease Organization in 2018, around 47.7% of people in the U.S. suffered from chronic conditions in 2015, and around 49.2% of people in the U.S. are expected to suffer from chronic conditions by 2030. Therefore, such instances are expected to drive the segment over the forecast period.

Regional Insights

North America accounted for the largest share of 42.05% in 2020. The increasing cases of burns, rising prevalence of chronic diseases, and the presence of several key players in the region are anticipated to drive the market in North America. In addition, the availability of skilled professionals and developed healthcare infrastructure are expected to drive the market over the forecast period.

Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period. The presence of developing countries, such as China, India, and Japan, is anticipated to boost the market growth in Asia Pacific. In addition, the increasing prevalence of chronic wounds, especially diabetes, is expected to surge the market growth over the forecast period. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), around 1.77% of inpatients in China suffered from non-healing chronic ulcers in 2018.
