Moist Wound Dressings Market Forecast to hit $5 billion by 2015 Says Report
Report Buyer, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has added a new report.
According to the report “Moist Wound Dressings Markets Worldwide: Market Research Report” as new opportunities open up in the moist wound dressings market, growth is being negatively affected by cost-cutting measures in regions with faltering economies. Clinicians must tackle a rapidly growing demand for advanced wound care products as rates of diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers and surgical wounds rise. The world market for moist wound dressings estimated to be over $4 billion in 2010 is projected to grow by another billion by 2015. Growth rates will improve as regional economies begin to recover.
Antimicrobial dressings that can prevent infection or reduce bacterial load in infected wounds are in high demand. They are effective against MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) and other antibiotic-resistant pathogens.The most common are silver dressings which actively release silver ions.Newer antimicrobial dressings with agents like PHMB or activated charcoal are being launched, providing alternatives for patients who cannot tolerate silver.
Foam dressings, popular for their versatility and affordability are the largest segment accounting for 40% to 50% of the world market in the upcoming years. Semi-permeable film dressings (also known as transparent film dressings) are a slow growing segment in established markets. Applications as a primary moist dressing are relatively limited, although use as a secondary dressing or integration in a composite wound dressing is growing.
Brand to brand variation within the same dressing category appears to be minimal, creating intense competition for most types of advanced wound dressings. The report provides market estimates and forecasts, competitive strategies, market share of leading companies in addition to discussing technology trends and utilisation trends on a global level.
