How Are Road Accidents Supplementing Wound Closure Products Market Growth?

Posted by Pramod Arya on September 9th, 2021

The volume of surgeries all across the globe is rising rapidly, which can be attributed to the surging prevalence of chronic diseases and road accidents. Several chronic diseases need surgical intervention as medication alone cannot help in managing the disease. In addition to this, the number of vehicles on the roads is growing, owing to the increasing purchasing power of people, which, in turn, is leading to the surging number of road accidents. In severe cases, a person needs to go through a surgical procedure in order to avoid any complications.

Access Report Summary on Wound Closure Products Market Segmentation Analysis

The largest demand in the past was created for sutures, including both non-absorbable and absorbable, because of the rising incidence of chronic wounds and increasing volume of surgeries across the world. Chronic wounds, such as pressure ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, diabetic ulcers, post-surgical wounds, and traumatic ulcers, do not get healed in a timely manner as acute wounds and thus require specialized care, because of which wound closure products are needed for these wounds. Other than this, the demand for hemostats, such as collagen-based, thrombin-based, gelatin-based, oxidized regenerated cellulose-based, and combination, is also expected to rise significantly in the near future. This can be ascribed to the better healing properties of these products.

Geographically, North America has been the largest user of wound closure products in the past, which can be attributed to the surging number of burn cases in the region. Burn injuries more often than not need surgical intervention, which further results in the utilization of wound closure products. Incisions made during surgical procedure lead to the formation of wound, which is then closed by making use of sutures or other kinds of wound closure products. Other than this, Asia-Pacific is projected to emerge as the fastest-growing wound closure products market in the near future, owing to the growing geriatric population, surging number of burn cases, and rising incident of road accidents in the region.

In conclusion, the demand for wound closure products is growing due to the increasing volume of surgeries and rising prevalence of chronic wounds.
