Reasons That The Demands Of Wound Closure Device Increase

Wound closure devices, as non-invasive solutions for skin lacerations in the wound closure device market, are becoming increasingly popular. People benefit from these innovative products as the system not only accelerates healing, reduces pain, and minimizes complications for patients but also saves time for healthcare professionals.

With the growing demand for minimally invasive surgeries, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, and a continuously growing elderly population, the global market for non-invasive surgical wound closure presents multiple opportunities.

 Key Drivers

The increase in the number of surgical procedures and surgical site infections (SSI), along with the aging population, serves as key drivers for the wound closure device market.

1. According to a report released by the Health Research and Education Trust (HRET) in 2018, the United States conducts over 15 million surgeries annually. It is estimated that 2% to 5% of these patients will experience SSI, equating to 160,000 to 300,000 cases nationwide each year.

2. According to data from the British Geriatrics Society, the rate of elderly individuals undergoing surgical procedures is increasing faster than the rate of population aging. The rise in surgical procedures contributes to an increase in surgical site infections, potentially driving the wound closure tape market during the forecast period.

3. Additionally, the increase in the elderly population (constituting a significant portion of the patient population) is a reason for the growth of the wound closure tape market.

Market Drivers

1. According to DelveInsight analysis, the global wound closure devices market was valued at $14.82 billion in 2020, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.40% from 2021 to 2026. It is expected to reach $22.64 billion by 2026.

2. According to a 2016 article in the "Systematic Reviews Journal" titled "Prevalence and Incidence of Chronic Wounds and Related Complications: A Systematic Review," chronic wounds affect 6.5 million individuals in the United States, leading to an annual healthcare system expenditure of $25 billion to treat wound-related complications.

3. Notably, emerging markets, especially large markets like India and China, have significant untapped potential in expanding the global wound closure device market. As income and living standards continue to rise in these countries, an increasing population demands better healthcare.

Product Advantages

1. In comparison to another commonly used wound closure tape, the advantage of wound closure devices lies in maintaining control over skin tension over time, ensuring optimal therapeutic effects.

2. High flexibility and ease of operation allow clinicians to adjust device tension according to the doctor's treatment plan and the actual wound conditions, facilitating personalized treatment.

3. Maximizing the freedom of movement for patients without causing secondary harm to the affected area, preventing infections, or leaving visible scars.

In conclusion, staying informed about these developments is crucial for healthcare providers and stakeholders, as these innovative solutions continue to reshape wound care, providing better patient outcomes and increased efficiency for healthcare practitioners.
