Rising incidences of burn injuries has aided the overall would care biologics market.
Rising incidences of burn injuries, specifically in developing and underdeveloped countries has positively impacted the wound care biologics industry growth at present and is expected to continue a similar trend over the forecast period. Countries such as Africa and Brazil have a high number of burn cases. According to World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 180,000 deaths are caused due to burns in low- and middle-income countries annually. Burns not only have a high economic impact but also have disastrous effects on the victim’s skin. Chronic skin wounds can be caused due to burns, skin cancers, infections, trauma or an underlying medical condition such as diabetes. With the growing prevalence of these ailments along with the expanding geriatric population, there has been a rise in the demand for treatments that can accelerate wound healing and facilitate a speedy recovery.
Within the report, the market is segmented into product, wound type, application, user, and geography. By product type, the market is segmented into cellular and/or tissue-based products (keratinocytes, fibroblasts, adipose-derived stromal cells, others), biologic skin substitutes(acellular products, cellular products, biosynthetic products, others), topical agents, growth factors(recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-bb (RHPDGF-bb), keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rh s), others), scaffolds, and others. On the basis of wound type, the market is segmented into ulcers, traumatic wounds, burns, post-operative incisions, abrasions, cuts and lacerations, skin irritations, conditions with periostomal care, others. Ulcers is further segmented into diabetic foot ulcers, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, others. By application, the market is categorized into hydrogels, film dressings, nanofiber-based dressings, extracellular matrix-derived biomaterials, others. Based on end user, the market is divided into hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, burn centers and wound clinics, and others. Geographically, the market is subsegmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South & Central America, and the Middle East & Africa.
Asia Pacific market to exhibit fastest growth over the forecast period.
Wound care biologics refer to drugs extracted or semi-synthesized from natural sources which are used for controlling and healing infections. Wound healing is a complex process involving inflammation, accumulation of fibrous tissue, deposition of collagen, formation of epithelial cell layers, and other disruptions. Biologic wound healing treatments possess the ability to restore the natural repair mechanism through active biological agents. For instance, plant-derived active biomolecules with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, or antioxidant properties have proven efficacious in advancing the wound-healing process. Some of the recent technological advancements made in the field of wound healing include skin substitutes, bio-membranes, scaffolds, hydroconductive dressings, and biologics. Asia Pacific is expected to exhibit the highest growth in the global wound care biologics market over the forecast period. This is owing to the high prevalence of diabetic patients in Asian countries. According to the Indian Diabetes Research Foundation, in 2021, around 60% of the world’s population suffering from diabetes lived in Asia, with around one-half in China and India combined. The Foundation also states that Western Pacific reported over 138.2 million people suffering from diabetes, the number for which is expected to rise to 201.8 million by 2035.
Hydrogels segment captured the largest share in 2022.
Hydrogel dressings are three-dimensional networks of hydrophilic polymers. They provide a moist environment in the wound site which promotes tissue regeneration by granulation and re-epithelialization. Hydrogel dressings have been conveniently used for the treatment of chronic wounds. Compared to other chronic wound treatment strategies, the properties of hydrogel-based dressings can easily be modified. Due to their flexible and tunable properties, hydrogel dressings can easily obtain additional functional properties by loading cells, antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal agents, growth factors, and biomolecules to speed up wound contraction and healing. Hydrogel dressings can be developed for specific wounds based on their severity, size, and location. Hydrogels have great potential to present multi-functional properties. Different aspects, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, adhesiveness, vascularization potential, as well as antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic properties, can be incorporated into hydrogels for chronic wound healing. Popular choices for antimicrobial hydrogel wound care commonly include Triad, SilvaSorb, MANUKApli Sterile Honey Wound Dressing, and Anasept
