Global demand to rise 4.6% annually through 2013
World demand for wound management products will increase 4.6 percent annually to $28.7 billion in 2013. Based on the advanced nature of medical delivery systems and the widespread insurance coverage of residents for primary health care procedures, the developed countries combined will absorb approximately three-fourths of this total. Demand in the developing countries as a whole will expand faster as the availability and accessibility of basic health care services improve.
Wound closures to remain largest-selling product group
Wound closures will remain the largest selling group of wound management products, with world demand expanding 3.5 percent annually to $11.1 billion in 2013. Applications in surgery and trauma procedures, coupled with the increasing availability of high value-added absorbable sutures and staples and tissue sealants, will foster gains. By contrast, advances in minimally invasive medical technologies will hold down overall gains in world demand for wound closures.
Minor/moderate injury cases to boost bandage market
Increasing applications in the treatment of minor-to-moderate injuries will boost global demand for bandages 4.2 percent annually through 2013. Adhesive bandages and tapes will continue to post the largest share of sales based on widespread use in first aid and sports medicine. Compression and related bandages for the immobilization of orthopedic injuries will command the greatest demand among other products in this group. Overall world growth opportunities for bandages will be moderated by the multiple supplier availability and limited pricing flexibility of most widely employed types.
