The global hypertrophic and keloid scar treatment market size is anticipated to reach USD 1,680.2 million by 2033 witnessing a CAGR of 10.4% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. This can be attributed to the rise in the number of road accidents & burn cases. For instance, according to an article by American Burn Association, more than 400,000 people are treated for burn injuries every year. Similarly, as per Children Safety Network, each year more than 100,000 children & adolescents are treated for burn injuries.
Moreover, as per National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an estimated 31,720 people have died in road accidents in the first nine months of 2021. This number has increased by 12% as compared to 2020. Similarly, as per Live Mint, 3,54,796 cases of road accidents were reported by India in the year 2020. Thus, due to the above-mentioned factors, the t market is estimated to witness significant growth over the forecasted period.
Similarly, rising awareness regarding aesthetic appeal and availability of surgeries is expected to boost the industry's growth. For instance, as per Medscape, 200 million incisions are performed globally. Moreover, as per a similar source, an estimated 170,000 scar revision surgeries are performed every year in the U.S. alone. Thus, such instances are expected to propel industry adoption over time.
Additionally, the rising incidence rate of skin disorders such as eczema, and acne is expected to increase the demand for hypertrophic and keloid scar treatments. For instance, as per a study published by NCBI, patients with eczema are at higher risk of developing a keloid scar. Moreover, according to National Eczema Association, 36.10 million people i.e., about 10.1% of the total U.S. population have some or other form of eczema. Thus, rising cases of eczema & risk of formation of keloid scars due to it are predicted to drive the market growth.
Furthermore, the decline in the population suffering from COVID-19 is anticipated to boost the growth of the industry. Companies in the market are opting for various strategies such as partnerships, and distribution agreements. For instance, in November 2021, Sonoma Pharmaceuticals & Dyamed Biotech announced the expansion of their long-term partnership. This partnership is intended to expand the availability of their products in South Asian countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand & Singapore. Therefore, such instances are expected to boost the growth of the industry over the forecast period.
