Global Wound Debridement Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032

Global Wound Debridement Market Outlook

The global wound debridement market size was valued at USD 3.70 billion in 2023, driven by the rising prevalence of diabetes across the globe. The market size is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period of 2024-2032 to achieve a value of USD 6.04 billion by 2032.

Wound Debridement: Introduction

Debridement is a procedure to heal a wound in the skin and the removal of all hyperkeratotic (thickened skin or callus), infected, and nonviable (necrotic or dead) tissue, foreign debris, and residual material from dressings in wound debridement. Debridement could be performed surgically or by using some alternate methods, such as the use of special dressings and gels. Debridement is majorly performed for treating diabetic foot ulcers, which occur in at least 15% of patients with diabetes and precede 84% of all diabetes-related lower-leg amputations. The technique alters the environment by the removal of the dead tissues of the chronic wound, which ultimately promotes healing.

Global Wound Debridement Market Analysis

The growth of the market is driven by the increasing focus of biopharmaceutical companies on the development of new and innovative solutions in the wound debridement market. For example, an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) has been submitted to the US FDA earlier this year for a cutting edge enzymatic wound debriding agent, SN514 hydrogel by SERDA therapeutics. Clinical studies are expected to start in Q2 2024. The increasing number of research and clinical studies on testing advanced techniques to improve the performance and efficiency of the process is also contributing to the global wound debridement market growth.

A recent meta-analysis found that the use of ultrasound-supported wound debridement (USSD) in subjects with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) resulted in comparatively higher wound healing rate with standard care and the placebo. The increasing technological development in the field of wound debridement is also expected to increase the market expansion. This includes the use of combinational topical oxygen therapy by Advanced Oxygen Therapy Inc. (AOTI), the global leader in non-invasive topical oxygen wound healing solutions in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) has been awarded as an A-grade recommendation by American Diabetes Association (ADA).

Global Wound Debridement Market Overview

The increasing geriatric population across the globe is the major factor driving the market growth. The increasing prevalence among people is also contributing to the market growth as aged people are more susceptible to diabetes. The increasing demand and preference of minimally invasive surgical procedures is also driving the global wound debridement market growth.

Geographically, North America is expected to lead the market for the forecast period due to the presence of a big diabetic patient pool. The increasing approval by the US Food and Drug Administration is expected to contribute to the market growth. Key players are also focused on launching new and improved wound debridement products in North America, which is further expected to propel the market expansion and demand altogether.
