Surgical Dressing Market

Market Overview:

The global surgical dressing market size reached US$ 4.4 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 6.9 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.89% during 2024-2032. The growing prevalence of chronic wounds, ulcers, and burns, a considerable rise in the uptake of organ transplant procedures, and the increasing health consciousness among the masses represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Surgical dressing refers to any fibrous material that is used to provide protection to exposed tissues and keep wounds in a hygienic and proper manner. Usually made from fibres as well as fabrics, gauze, lint, and plasters, it is placed over a wound as a protective covering. Surgical dressings include sterile pads, compress, or composite waterproof multi-layered bandages, which are most commonly used as a wound covering. A surgical dressing, as opposed to a bandage, is formulated to be in direct contact with the wound, and most of them are self-adhesive. Three-layer surgical dressings contain semi- or non-adherent lower layers to infuse water into the following layer, while preventing it from sticking to the granulated tissue. In addition to protecting the wound from mechanical damage and absorbing drainage, surgical dressings protect the wound from contamination by bodily discharges, such as feces and urine, provide a physiologic environment conducive to healing, and offer mental and physical comfort for the patient.

Surgical Dressing Market Trends:

The growing prevalence of chronic wounds, ulcers, and burns across the globe is a significant factor that is driving the market. This can be attributed to the rising number of chronic health conditions as well as sedentary lifestyle and poor dietary patterns adopted by the masses. In line with this, a considerable rise in the uptake of organ transplant procedures, particularly knee and hip replacement surgeries requiring intensive care, is also providing an impetus to the market. Moreover, the expanding number of ambulatory surgery centers and specialty clinics for affordable outpatient procedures is creating lucrative growth opportunities in the market. The market is further fueled by the increasing incidences of road accidents, which is resulting in a higher uptake of surgical dressings. Besides this, the growing geriatric population that is more susceptible to chronic wounds and slower healing ability is creating a positive outlook for the market. Furthermore, continual technological developments in the treatment services involving surgical procedures and pain management are impacting the market positively. Favorable healthcare initiatives undertaken by the government bodies of several countries promoting affordability and sanitized facilities are also propelling the market. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include the rising healthcare expenditure, the augmenting popularity of minimally invasive surgeries, the increasing number of cardiovascular disease-related surgeries, and easy product availability across online and offline organized retail channels.
