2018 to 2022 Historical Analysis vs. 2023 to 2033 Market Forecast Projections

A study by our analysts found that a 3.5% CAGR was experienced between 2018 and 2022 in the driveline additive market. Global demand for negative pressure wound therapy is predicted to increase at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2023 to 2033.

Growth in the negative pressure wound therapy market is driven by the rising prevalence of chronic wounds worldwide, growing awareness about the benefits of NPWT, increasing need for better wound care to reduce mortality rate, and continuous NPWT product launches.

Negative wound pressure therapy is a non-invasive technique that uses sub-atmospheric pressure to aid in the management of chronic and acute open wounds. It has become one of the most effective treatments for the management of chronic wounds.

The increasing incidence of chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and post-surgical wounds is a major impetus to negative pressure wound therapy growth.

According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), diabetic foot and lower limb complications affect around 40 to 60 million people with diabetes globally. This rise in the number of diabetic foot ulcers will continue to create opportunities for negative pressure wound therapy device manufacturers.

Various key players are offering NPWT devices for rent to make them more accessible and affordable for patients to manage their wound healing. This will further expand the global negative pressure wound therapy market size in the future.
