The increased focus on faster healing time, increasing patient awareness, and rise in healthcare expenditure have supported the market’s growth. Furthermore, the rise in the incidences of wound infections has promoted the sale of wound dressings. However, unfavorable reimbursement scenarios in some countries and the high cost of advanced wound dressings might restrain the growth of the market. The global wound dressings market has a significant opportunity to grow with the development of combination dressings.

On the basis off type of wound dressing, the global wound dressings market has been segmented into advanced and traditional wound dressings. Traditional wound dressings have been further divided into wound closure products, basic wound care, and anti-infective dressings. The demand for basic wound care was the highest in 2013. During the forecast period, anti-infective dressings including iodine-based dressings and plant-based antiseptic dressings are expected to witness increased demand. The rise in geriatric population has boosted the demand for anti-infective dressings.

On the other hand, advanced wound dressings have been sub-segmented into films, hydrofiber, hydrocolloids, collagen, alginates, and foams.

In the coming years, foams are expected to witness rapid growth owing to the development of their core design.
