The global gunshot injuries treatment market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2021-2027). A gunshot injury is damage to the body caused by a bullet, knife, or another sharp projectile object. Gunshot wounds can result in life-threatening disease or injury including tissue or organ damage, fractures, severe bleeding, as well as mortality. However, the degree of the injury is determined by the bullet's location and speed. In gunshot wounds, excessive bleeding is the leading cause of mortality. As a result, the treatment of gunshot wounds focuses primarily on halting bleeding within seconds and thus saving lives. The goal of the treatment is to stabilise the injured person's condition before undertaking any further treatment or surgery.
The market is expected to be propelled by an increase in criminal violence and the frequency of accidents resulting in mortalities or severe injuries. According to a survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2019, there were 39,707 gunshot-related mortalities in the US, which equates to nearly 109 people dying per day. Each year, over 1,300 children in the US die as a result of gunshot wounds. Survivors of gunshot-related injuries may suffer long-term consequences. These include physical incapacity as a result of brain injury paralysis and chronic mental health difficulties such as post-traumatic stress disorder.
Furthermore, Xstat is a gunshot wound care technology widely utilised on battlefields across the globe. It is made up of small groups of expanding sponges with Xray markers that are injected directly into the wound cavity. It provides hemostatic pressure and forms a temporary barrier to blood loss that lasts for hours before the patient undergoes a medical procedure. The Xstat 30's approval for gunshot injury treatment broadens the device's indication for usage in adults and adolescents in the broader population, propelling the growth of the market. However, the global gunshot injury market is hampered by limited product availability in emerging economies, a lack of knowledge, and government-recommended product approval standards.
