The US, Canada, and Mexico are major economies in North America. Various types of burns and skin infections can be treated by using skin grafting procedure. There has been a rise in the number of deaths caused due to burns. According to the American Burn Association, in 2016, in the US, there were 3,390 civilian deaths due to fire, including 2,800 deaths from residential structure fires, 150 deaths from nonresidential structure fires, 355 from vehicle fires, and 85 from outside and unclassified fire other than structure or vehicle fire. The statistics included over 14,650 injuries. Statistics have shown that 58,520 on-duty firefighters were injured in the US between 2011 and 2018. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) estimated that 1,388,500 fires took place in 2020, which caused 3,500 civilian deaths and 15,200 injury cases. The NFPA found that while the number of fire-related deaths declined by 46% since 1980, and there was an increase of 23% from the record low number of deaths in 2012, which stood at 2,855 to the present figure. The NFPA findings also concluded that one-and two-family home fire accounted for 63.7% of civilian casualties and 56.6% of injury cases, followed by apartment fires which stood at 19.1% of injury cases in 2020.
The increasing number of burn injury cases is pushing healthcare systems to implement burn care programs and management services. For instance, the Burn Unit and Plastic Surgery Department of Prince Sultan Military Medical City’s (PSMMC) burn care services consist of a skin grafting program and long-term rehabilitation. Thus, the rising number of injury cases is propelling the demand for skin graft treatments, thereby driving the North America skin grafting system market growth.
