Market Expansion is Fueled by Rising Demand for Foam Treatments as Burn Injuries Increase

Published: Oct 2023

The global surgical dressing market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period (2023-2030). Foam dressings form of hydrophilic polyurethane, which is a highly absorbing material. Foams assist in absorbing moisture, which keeps tissue's structural integrity. The growing cases of burns and trauma across the globe are projected to boost the segment growth. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), burns are a global public health problem, accounting for an estimated 180,000 deaths annually. The majority of these occur in low- and middle-income countries and almost two thirds occur in the WHO African and South-East Asia Regions. Non-fatal burns are a leading cause of morbidity, including prolonged hospitalization, disfigurement, and disability, often with resulting stigma and rejection.

In South Africa an estimated US$ 26 million is spent annually for care of burns from kerosene (paraffin) cookstove incidents. Indirect costs such as lost wages, prolonged care for deformities and emotional trauma, and commitment of family resources, also contribute to the socioeconomic impact.

Furthermore, technological advancements are also projected to drive the growth of this market.
