Wound Care Sealants Market Segmentation Analysis- By Geography
The wound care market on Geography can be further segmented
into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and the Rest of the World.
North America held a dominant market share of 35% over its other counterparts
in 2021. Sports injuries-road accidents-robust medical infrastructure is some
of the reasons for the strong market hold. 30 million children and teens participate
in some form of sports within the USA. Further, around 3.5 million injuries are sustained
each year in the states which propels the use of Wound Care.
However, Asia-Pacific is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities to marketers in the projected period of 2022-2027. It is owing to a high caseload of various forms of wounds. For example, as per the ASDI-2019 report, 11,037 fire accidents are reported each within India in 2019. Additionally, diabetes takes a massive toll within the region, which would allow for better growth in wound care.
Wound Care Sealants Market Drivers
A systemic increase in the cases of falls owing to the rising geriatric population has been a key driver for the market.
The geriatric population has been growing around the globe. The following fact has two opportune facts, first, global medical infrastructure has been following a robust growth trajectory which is supplemented by government initiatives. Secondly, a higher proportion of older people would need better medical care owing to the high disease load. Out of various ailments, fall has been a common condition that has been medically proven to be prevalent in older people. The risk of falling increases with age for many reasons, including overall weakness and frailty, balance problems, cognitive problems, vision problems, medications, acute illness, and other environmental hazards. Within the U.S., more than one out of four older people suffer fall injuries, however, only half of them report to their respective doctors. As per CDC, around 3 million older people in the U.S. get treated in the emergency departments. Similarly, osteoporosis has been highly prevalent in the western regions, which makes the bones weak and brittle, so weak that simple coughing can cause a fracture. Around 240,000-300,000 Norwegians have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, which makes it the country of falls.
Owing to higher road accidents and trauma injuries the market for wound care would be highly needed.
Road accidents are highly prevalent in the majority of the
countries. A fact which ascertains that road accidents would only increase is owing
to rising sales numbers of automobile manufacturers. Further, the EV segment is
taking the market by bloom. However, one fact remains constant, the human nature
that propels them to commit incidents such as rash driving, over-speeding, and
other numerous road malignancies. As per
the data shared by US Transport Department, in the year 2019- the fatal car
crash amounted to 33,244 who needed immediate surgery and care, and
the numbers are 11% higher than in 2013. Similarly, the surgery requirement
post-crash is highly prevalent in low- and middle-income countries such as
India. India accounted for 4,51,361 which is 4% higher than in 2014 who
suffered injuries and wounds and needed immediate medical help or surgery to
close the wounds.
Wound Care Sealants Market Challenges
The intensive requirement for wound care to launch a new product has hampered the overall market growth.
Materials that have been actively used to treat wound care have been facing heat by the sufferers. Some of the common concerns for using natural compounds such as fibrin is that the overall adhesive strengths are low but are well-accepted by the body. Some of the other compounds such as Cyanoacrylate have higher amounts of adhesive strengths, but their biodegradability lies on the lower end and various studies have also evaluated that they release toxic byproducts while degrading within the body, which can cause harm to various organs of the body. About 5% of the population can become sensitized to cyanoacrylate fumes after repeated exposure, resulting in flu-like symptoms. Cyanoacrylate may also be a skin irritant, causing an allergic skin reaction. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) assigns a threshold limit value exposure limit of 200 parts per billion. On rare occasions, inhalation may trigger asthma. To sum up the entire paragraph, it can be said that the market has not got a product that would tick mark all the boxes. Some of the common tick boxes are high mechanical properties, cost-effective, and highly elastic along with biocompatibility and controlled biodegradability.
