The wound closure market is projected to reach $28.12 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2024 to 2031.
Succeeding extensive secondary and primary research and in-depth analysis of the market scenario, the report comprises the analysis of key industry drivers, restraints, challenges, and opportunities. This growth is due to the increasing number of surgeries, growth in chronic wound cases among the geriatric population, the growing incidence of traumatic injuries, increasing awareness about wound care, and the rising focus on infection prevention. However, the increasing number of minimally invasive surgeries and infections caused by wound closure devices restrain the growth of this market.
Furthermore, the technological advancements in wound closure products and the demand for wound closure in aesthetic procedures are expected to generate growth opportunities for the players operating in this market. However, antibiotic-resistant wound infections and product recalls are major challenges impacting market growth.
The report offers a competitive landscape based on an extensive assessment of the product portfolio offerings, geographic presences, and key strategic developments adopted by leading market players in the industry over four years (2021-2024). The key players operating in the wound closure market are 3M Company (U.S.), Medtronic plc (Ireland), Cardinal Health, Inc. (U.S.), Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc. (U.S.), B. Braun Melsungen AG (Germany), Essity AB (Sweden), Medline Industries, LP (U.S.), Stryker Corporation (U.S.), Smith & Nephew plc (U.K.), Integra LifeSciences Corporation (U.S.), Organogenesis Inc. (U.S.), Coloplast A/S (Denmark), Convatec Group plc (U.K.), and Corza Medical (U.S.).
Among all the products studied in this report, the wound dressings segment is projected to register the highest CAGR of over 6.2% during the forecast period of 2024-2031. The growth of this segment is driven by the advancements in wound dressings, such as film dressings and foam dressings, which offer benefits such as reduced risk of wound breakdown, lower risk of infection, and faster healing. Furthermore, market players are focused on introducing innovative offerings to cater to the growing demand for wound dressings.
Among all the wound types studied in this report, in 2024, the acute wounds segment is expected to account for the larger share of the wound closure market. The large market share of this segment can be attributed to the increasing number of traumatic injuries such as falls, raid accidents, and burns and the increasing number of surgeries performed worldwide.
Among all the end users studied in this report, in 2024, the hospitals & clinics segment is expected to account for the largest share of the wound closure market. The large market share of this segment can be attributed to the growing number of patient visits to hospitals & clinics for wound care & management and surgical procedures, the presence of highly skilled healthcare professionals, ease in accessibility, increasing healthcare expenditures, improving hospital infrastructure in emerging economies, and the increasing adoption of advanced wound closure products among hospitals & clinics.
An in-depth analysis of the geographical scenario of the wound closure market provides detailed qualitative and quantitative insights into the five major geographies (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa) along with the coverage of major countries in each region.
