The escalating prevalence of chronic wounds is envisaged to drive the expansion of the wound care center market. Chronic wounds are defined as those that fail to heal within the expected three-month period despite receiving suitable treatment. The increase in incidents of these wounds can be attributed to the rising cases of obesity and diabetes, conditions known to hinder healing processes and generate complications. Advanced treatment options for chronic wounds, usually found in specialized wound care centers, are becoming increasingly necessary. These centers also offer psychosocial support to help patients manage the mental and emotional aspects of their ailment. For example, data from OSF HealthCare, a healthcare organization based in the US, stated in July 2023 that around 6.7 million individuals are currently dealing with chronic wounds, a figure anticipated to rise by 2% annually over the next ten years. Consequently, the increasing occurrences of chronic wounds is fueling the growth of the wound care center market.
