Advanced Wound Care Technologies 2018 - 2028

Opportunities in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of chronic non-healing wounds

Show All Description Contents, Table & Figures List FAQs Pricing Related Content
Though the human body has a tremendous capability to heal itself, wound healing can stall and create chronic non-healing wounds due to a variety of reasons such as ischemia, bacterial contamination and chronic inflammation.
 
Common chronic wounds include diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), venous leg ulcers (VLU) and pressure ulcers (PU). Advanced wound care is often required in the treatment of these chronic ulcers - less than 25% of DFUs and less than 30% of VLUs are successfully treated by the current standard of care treatments.
 
Diabetes, patient age, and obesity are critical risk factors to developing the common non-healing wounds of DFUs, VLUs and PUs. Populations with these risk factors will rise drastically in the next 10 years, especially in comparison to the last 10 years. Thus, the incidence of chronic wounds around the world is expected to rise with the increasing elderly population, as well as the increase in obesity and diabetes. Already in 2018 there are close to 1 billion persons aged 60 and above, over 2 billion adults who are overweight, and over 500 million persons with diabetes worldwide.
 
In this report, the market for advanced wound care technologies is forecast to exceed $20 billion by the year 2028. The 10-year forecast is also broken down by the wound types of DFU, VLU, PU, burns and other (for example, traumatic injuries and surgical wounds). Key trends in technological development to watch out for in the next 10 years include:
 
  • Kits and devices to streamline and decrease the difficulty of wound care
  • Diagnostics for early detection of pathological bacterial infection
  • Connected devices and sensors to improve patient monitoring and care effectiveness
  • Connected devices and sensors for the prevention of ulcers
  • Devices to bring improved healing rates into the home
 
The report includes a breakdown of the wound care market by wound type.
The report covers a broad spectrum of wound care technologies under the following categories:
 
 
1. Debridement
a. Dressings for autolytic debridement
2. Pressure management
3. Compression
4. Bacterial burden management
5. Therapeutic devices
a. Negative pressure wound therapy
6. Biological therapies
a. Extracellular matrix substitutes
b. Amniotic therapies
7. Wound monitoring and tracking devices

About IDTechEx reports

What are the qualifications of the people conducting IDTechEx research?

Content produced by IDTechEx is researched and written by our technical analysts, each with a PhD or master's degree in their specialist field, and all of whom are employees. All our analysts are well-connected in their fields, intensively covering their sectors, revealing hard-to-find information you can trust.

How does IDTechEx gather data for its reports?

By directly interviewing and profiling companies across the supply chain. IDTechEx analysts interview companies by engaging directly with senior management and technology development executives across the supply chain, leading to revealing insights that may otherwise be inaccessible.
 
Further, as a global team, we travel extensively to industry events and companies to conduct in-depth, face-to-face interviews. We also engage with industry associations and follow public company filings as secondary sources. We conduct patent analysis and track regulatory changes and incentives. We consistently build on our decades-long research of emerging technologies.
 
We assess emerging technologies against existing solutions, evaluate market demand and provide data-driven forecasts based on our models. This provides a clear, unbiased outlook on the future of each technology or industry that we cover.

What is your forecast methodology?

We take into account the following information and data points where relevant to create our forecasts:
  • Historic data, based on our own databases of products, companies' sales data, information from associations, company reports and validation of our prior market figures with companies in the industry.
  • Current and announced manufacturing capacities
  • Company production targets
  • Direct input from companies as we interview them as to their growth expectations, moderated by our analysts
  • Planned or active government incentives and regulations
  • Assessment of the capabilities and price of the technology based on our benchmarking over the forecast period, versus that of competitive solutions
  • Teardown data (e.g. to assess volume of materials used)
  • From a top-down view: the total addressable market
  • Forecasts can be based on an s-curve methodology where appropriate, taking into account the above factors
  • Key assumptions and discussion of what can impact the forecast are covered in the report.

How can I be confident about the quality of work in IDTechEx reports?

Based on our technical analysts and their research methodology, for over 25 years our work has regularly received superb feedback from our global clients. Our research business has grown year-on-year.
 
Recent customer feedback includes:
"It's my first go-to platform"
- Dr. Didi Xu, Head of Foresight - Future Technologies, Freudenberg Technology Innovation
 
"Their expertise allows us to make data-driven, strategic decisions and ensures we remain aligned with the latest trends and opportunities in the market."

What differentiates IDTechEx reports?

Our team of in-house technical analysts immerse themselves in industries over many years, building deep expertise and engaging directly with key industry players to uncover hard-to-find insights. We appraise technologies in the landscape of competitive solutions and then assess their market demand based on voice-of-the-customer feedback, all from an impartial point of view. This approach delivers exceptional value to our customers—providing high-quality independent content while saving customers time, resources, and money.

Why should we pick IDTechEx research over AI research?

A crucial value of IDTechEx research is that it provides information, assessments and forecasts based on interviews with key people in the industry, assessed by technical experts. AI is trained only on content publicly available on the web, which may not be reliable, in depth, nor contain the latest insights based on the experience of those actively involved in a technology or industry, despite the confident prose.

How can I justify the ROI of this report?

Consider the cost of the IDTechEx report versus the time and resources required to gather the same quality of insights yourself. IDTechEx analysts have built up an extensive contact network over many years; we invest in attending key events and interviewing companies around the world; and our analysts are trained in appraising technologies and markets.
 
Each report provides an independent, expert-led technical and market appraisal, giving you access to actionable information immediately, rather than you having to spend months or years on your own market research.

Can I speak to analysts about the report content?

All report purchases include up to 30 minutes of telephone time with an expert analyst who will help you link key findings in the report to the business issues you're addressing. This needs to be used within three months of purchasing the report.

What is the difference between a report and subscription?

A subscription from IDTechEx can include more reports, access to an online information platform with continuously updated information from our analysts, and access to analysts directly.

Before purchasing, I have some questions about the report, can I speak to someone?
