"Designing Growth Strategies is in our DNA"
Permanent artificial skin is a skin substitute used to treat burns and wound closure to replace the layer of the skin. It is commonly used in burn victims with deep or partial wounds as it helps in wound coverage and infection prevention. Growing awareness of various skin treatments procedures and rising incidence of acute and chronic wounds augment market growth. For instance, according to WHO, approximately 1,80,000 deaths are caused by burns every year. The majority of burns occurred in low and middle-income countries.
The rising incidence of acute and chronic wounds is estimated to drive the permanent artificial skin market over the forecast duration. For instance, as per the EC endocrinology and metabolic research article, the wound healing society based on etiology classified chronic wounds into four categories: venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and arterial insufficiency ulcers. According to NCBI, In September 2020, the incidence of diabetic foot ulcers universally is between 9.1 to 26.1 million and thus accelerating the growth of the permanent artificial skin market.
However, the higher price associated with skin treatment is estimated to restrain the market growth during the projected timeframe. As per NCBI, the Medicare cost estimated for acute and chronic wound treatments ranged from USD 28.1 billion to USD 96.8 billion. Moreover, the market growth could also be negatively impacted by stringent regulatory norms.
Key Market Driver -
Rising Incidence of Acute and Chronic wounds to Boost Market Growth
Key Market Restraint -
Higher Cost Associated with the Treatment and Lack of Reimbursements
