Factors Driving the Traditional Wound Management Market

The demand for medical wound management is predicted to increase amid the growing incidence of wounds and the rising prevalence of surgically acquired infections. Moreover, the increasing number of cases due to surgical and chronic wounds is propelling the need for traditional wound management systems. The prevalence of trauma and chronic diseases such as diabetes and ulcers also strengthens the current developments in traditional wound care.

As per the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma, over 3,000 people succumb to road accident wounds daily. To curb the global burden, healthcare facilities increasingly adopt traditional wound management systems, especially in low and middle-income economies.

A growing shift in wound healing and care dynamics, along with improvements in traditional wound management products, is expected to create a conducive environment for the market. Subsequently, several leading healthcare companies are introducing digital education portals for healthcare specialists for better guidance in wound care management.

Growth in the global traditional wound management services is expected to bridge the gap in the availability of a skilled workforce and the implementation of new technologies.

For instance, eIntegrity, The World Health Organization (WHO) Academy, and UNESCO are the leading platforms where physicians and healthcare professionals can specialize in different courses.

Factors Restraining Traditional Wound Management Market

Negligence and unawareness still prevail in healthcare settings. The major problem that hinders the market growth of wound care products is that chronic wounds are still not considered a disease condition. This is because there is a poor understanding of the wound environment and its related bio-signaling pathways.

There is an absence of validated centers of excellence for wound care and a limited number of funding agencies primarily focusing on chronic wounds. According to a study on traditional wound dressings, this negatively influences the growth of the traditional wound management market.

The rising volumes of medical waste are also a huge problem because improper disposal can give rise to infections. As a result, proper management is required before traditional wound care products are incorporated into the patient and wound care system to reduce infection-related costs.
