The growing prevalence of chronic and surgical wounds is a key factor fueling the market growth of wound dressings. Moreover, an increasing number of surgeries is also projected to foster market growth. The increasing incidence of burn injuries coupled with the technological advancement in wound dressing is also projected to propel the market growth. According to the World Health Organization, globally, burns are a serious public health problem. An estimated 265 000 deaths occur each year from fires alone, with more deaths from scalds, electrical burns, and other forms of burn. Furthermore, the rising prevalence of pressure ulcers and diabetic ulcers is also expected to augment the market growth of wound dressings.

North America is expected to gain significant growth over the forecast period and this is attributed to the high presence of the geriatric population in the region which is increasing the prevalence of chronic wounds. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 40.3 million U.S. residents 65 years and older in the 2010 Census and more than 54 million on July 1, 2019. Also, increasing investment in the healthcare sector coupled with the advancement in wound dressing is further anticipated to foster market growth.
