LATEST TRENDS

Manufacturers Expanding their Regional Presence Will Increase Adoption of Wound Care Products

Many manufacturers are focusing on strengthening their market positions in Asia Pacific by receiving regulatory approvals for their products and introducing them to the market. Such market expansion strategies are anticipated to provide ample opportunities for the key players to strengthen their geographical presence in the developing nations of the region.

• For instance, in July 2021, Inotec AMD Ltd. entered an exclusive distribution partnership with InterMed Medical to expand its wound care market in Australia and New Zealand. InterMed Medical was expected to exclusively distribute the company’s oxygen wound therapy product, NATROX, in Australia and New Zealand.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rising Burden of Chronic and Acute Wounds to Propel Market Growth

Countries in Asia, such as China, India, and others have a vast geriatric population suffering from various comorbidities, such as diabetes and other severe chronic disorders. This increases their risk of developing wounds in their lifetime. The rising prevalence of chronic wounds among the patient population is expected to increase the demand for wound care products in the upcoming years, thereby driving the market share.

• For instance, according to a research article published in NCBI in 2020, in India, 4.54% of newly diagnosed diabetic patients were found to suffer from diabetic foot ulcers.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Delay in Diagnosis of Chronic Wounds to Limit Adoption of Wound Care Products

Chronic wounds, such as venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and others progress slowly and often remain undiagnosed for a long time. The delay in diagnosing these chronic wounds leads to amputations and surgeries. The incidence of delayed diagnosis is increasing in developing countries due to minimal knowledge, lack of awareness, and limited access to healthcare facilities. Furthermore, lack of proper guidelines for wound care and management in some countries is also expected to impede the adoption of these products, thus restraining the market growth.

According to a research study published in NCBI in 2021, the annual incidence of diabetic foot ulcers in China among the diabetic population was about 8.1%. Further, the amputation rate was about 5.1% of the patients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers. The increase in amputations in China is owing to the rise in delayed patient visits, inadequate treatment outcomes leading to patient dissatisfaction, and other factors.
