Chronic Wound Care Market Growth & Trends

The global chronic wound care market size is expected to reach USD 19.5 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 4.11% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Diabetes may increase the overall frequency and complexity of wounds such as infections, ulcerations (leg or foot ulcers), and chronic wounds, including surgical & traumatic wounds. For instance, according to a research article published in March 2021 by ScienceDirect, the prevalence of diabetes is expected to increase to 120 million people in 2030, thereby propelling market growth.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has created large-scale opportunities for local manufacturers. Due to the restrictions on movement at international borders, the supply chain of major players has been disrupted. This has created an opportunity for local players to enter the market and meet the unmet demands of the end-users. The rising number of cases has led to a shortage of medical supplies; thus, local players are manufacturing products on a larger scale to meet the growing need. Moreover, to enhance their foothold in the market, key companies are adopting various plans and policies to gain a higher market share.

Technological advancements are projected to have a significant impact on the advanced wound care industry in the coming years. The quality of life of patients suffering from chronic wounds improves as technology advances and becomes more affordable. Traditional wound care and closure products are gradually being replaced by advanced wound care & closure products due to their efficacy and effectiveness in wound management by allowing quicker healing.
