According to the United Nations Population Fund’s India Ageing Report 2023, the population over 60 is likely to increase from 14.9 crores in 2022 to 34.7 crores by 2050, which is expected to propel market growth. People with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are at a high risk of lower-extremity amputation. As per a ScienceDirect article, diabetic foot ulcers may affect more than 25.0% of the diabetic population and may result in amputation in 20.0% of patients. However, advanced wound care products help cure diabetic foot ulcers, which are prevalent in diabetic patients. Thus, an increasing number of diabetic patients is expected to elevate the use of advanced wound care products. These products especially help in moisture retention and facilitate rapid internal and external wound healing. Furthermore, these products help in the absorption of necrotic tissues, which are effective in surgical site infections. Hence, healthcare professionals prefer to use advanced wound care products, which is anticipated to propel global wound care market growth over the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the advanced wound care market. The industry experienced a dip in the demand for advanced wound care products as many hospitals and clinics had to postpone elective surgeries, affecting market growth. Moreover, the outbreak created large-scale opportunities for local manufacturers.

However, the market experienced lucrative growth post-pandemic. Many companies underwent new product launches and mergers and acquisitions, further increasing their product portfolio. For instance, in April 2023, 30 Technology Limited’s anti-infective nitric oxide technology platform was acquired by the Convatec Group PLC, encompassing all chronic & acute wound care assets, research & development, and commercial applications of the technology.
