Silicone foam dressings market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period (2023-2030). The main factor driving the expansion of the silicone foam dressings market is the rise in acceptance of advanced foam dressings among people all over the globe. Key companies in foam dressing are also anticipated to develop new products and innovate existing ones, resulting in an acceleration of market expansion. According to the National Institute of Health, In June 2022, every year, almost 500,000 Americans seek medical attention for burn injuries. For civilians, these wounds are often received in house fires, car accidents, and workplace mishaps. 5% to 10% of fatalities are attributed to burn injuries. The amount of thermal energy that was exposed for the duration and to specific areas of the body determines the severity of the burns. Various digital technologies and tools are used in the management and treatment of wounds. For instance, in June 2022, DermaRite Industries, a manufacturer of Skin care and advanced wound care, released the next generation of its Interactive Dressing Selection Guide App with enhanced features to make selecting wound dressings even easier than before.

Segmental Outlook

The global silicone foam dressings market is segmented by type, wound type, and end-users. Based on the type, the market is sub-segmented into adhesive border and non-adhesive border. Based on the wound type, the market is sub-segmented into surgical wounds, ulcers including diabetic foot ulcer, pressure ulcer, and venous ulcer; burns, and others (traumatic wounds). Further, on the basis of end-users, the market is sub-segmented into hospitals & clinics and ambulatory surgical centres. Among the type, the non-adhesive sub-segment is anticipated to hold a considerable share of the market owing to the rise in the development of non-adherent silicone bandages and pads that provide a pain-free removal process while reducing the risk of re-opening a wound or inflicting more skin damage.

The Burn Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Hold a Considerable Share of the Global Silicone Foam Dressings Market

Among the wound types, the burn sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the global silicone foam dressings market. The segmental growth is attributed to the growing number of burn cases across the globe. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), approximately 2,50,000 people are burned annually only in the UK. Of these, 1,75,000 attend accident and emergency departments, and 13, 000 of these are admitted to hospitals. Some 1,000 patients have severe enough burns to warrant formal fluid resuscitation; half of these are children aged under 12 years.

Apart from this, the market organizations are developing fibre-based dressings that rapidly swell after absorbing the wound exudate to form a cohesive, transparent gel. The gelling fibre can absorb and lock the exudate. The bacteria and other harmful substances in the exudate are also locked in the dressing, maintaining the optimal moist healing environment. For instance, in May 2022, Winner Medical announce its new development in the advanced wound care segment. The company was expected to launch a bordered silicone foam dressing with antibodies and SAF. Winner Medical CMC Gelling Fiber Dressing Extra is composed of gelling fibre non-woven fabric and polyester reinforcing thread, the strength in a dry and wet state is better after the suture is strengthened.

The global silicone foam dressings market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). Among these, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to hold a prominent share of the market across the globe, owing to the increasing burn cases, various ulcers, open wounds, and rising surgical cases across the region. The Key Market players include 3M, Organogenesis Holdings Inc., Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc., and MiMedx.
