Saudi Arabia Wound Care Market

Saudi Arabia Wound Care Market Overview:

The Saudi Arabia wound care market size reached USD 0.22 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 0.32 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.35% during 2025-2033. The market is growing significantly due to the growing prevalence of chronic wounds, elevating healthcare investments, and innovations in medical technologies. In line with this, the amplifying need for advanced wound care solutions is further bolstered by enhanced healthcare infrastructure and a rising emphasis on patient outcomes.

Saudi Arabia Wound Care Market Trends:

Amplifying Demand for Advanced Wound Care Solutions

The Saudi Arabia wound care market growth is witnessing an elevation in the requirement for cutting-edge wound care products, mainly boosted by the magnifying incidents of chronic conditions such as obesity and diabetes, which increase the risk of chronic wounds. For instance, according to a research article published in the journal Healthcare in January 2023, diabetes mellitus affects 17.7% of Saudi Arabia’s adult population, marking the country as having the second-highest prevalence in the region and ranking seventh globally. Resultantly, such advanced solutions, including foam dressings, hydrocolloid dressings, and hydrogels, are increasingly being preferred as they provide improved infection control and healing advantages over conventional dressings. In addition to this, healthcare providers are rapidly prioritizing these products for their high efficacy in managing severe wounds and significantly enhancing patient outcomes. Moreover, the government’s rising focus on proliferating healthcare infrastructure and improving the quality of patient care has further bolstered the popularity of specialized wound care solutions, establishing the country as an evolving market for advanced wound management products.

Heightened Emphasis on Home-Based Wound Care

A significant inclination toward home-based wound care solutions, principally fueled by the accelerating elderly population and an increasing preference for convenient healthcare solutions is boosting the Saudi Arabia wound care market share. For instance, a research article published in the journal BMC Health Services Research in December 2023 states that in Saudi Arabia, the ratio of individuals aged over 65 to those aged 20–64 is projected to nearly double between 2020 and 2030. Home care products, such as self-application devices, antiseptics, or wound dressings, enable patients to handle their wounds with minimal or no requirement for clinical intervention, notably lowering the need for hospital resources. Moreover, this trend aligns with the Saudi government's Vision 2030 objectives to improve healthcare access, support patient-centric care, and promote public health through prevention and health awareness in society. In addition to this, the significant proliferation of home healthcare services as well as telemedicine further fosters this trend, allowing efficient wound management from home and substantially magnifying the demand for user-friendly wound care products suited for self-application.

Technological Innovations in Wound Care Products

Ongoing technological advancements are notably revolutionizing the Saudi Arabia wound care market outlook, with advanced products, such as negative pressure wound therapy systems, antimicrobial dressings, and skin substitutes, rapidly gaining momentum. Such technologies significantly enhance healing rates, improve comfort, and lower infection risks, positioning them as a preferable option in healthcare facilities. Moreover, both Saudi clinics and hospitals are rapidly opting for such solutions to cater to the demands of patients with chronic or complicated wounds. In addition to this, with amplifying aid from government healthcare initiatives, such advancements are bolstering greater adoption of advanced wound care products, attracting heavy investments from international players, and propelling the market toward modernized, technology-based solutions that align with international standards. For instance, in May 2024, TVM Capital Healthcare closed its Saudi-focused TVM Healthcare Afiyah Fund, raising approximately USD 250 million to support healthcare advancements aligned with Saudi Vision 2030. Among initial investments, DEBx Medical, a Dutch company specializing in innovative chronic wound care products, announced plans to enter the Saudi market, bringing advanced solutions to enhance local healthcare infrastructure and patient care.
