Economic: Growth in disposable incomes boosts healthcare spending, aiding growth. However, economic slowdowns squeeze payers and impact demand. Currency fluctuations affect costs for multinational players.
Social: Aging populations drive higher prevalence of chronic wounds and surgical cases requiring care. Lifestyle diseases also increase wound risks. However, stigmas around certain conditions hamper treatment seeking.
Technological: Digital and smart wound care technologies improve outcomes and health systems’ efficiencies. Connected devices enable remote monitoring. However, high development costs slow innovation in poor regions.
GEOGRAPHICAL CONCENTRATION OF VALUE
North America accounts for the largest market share in terms of value owing to high per capita healthcare spending and established insurance coverage. The incidence of diabetes, obesity and other chronic conditions also elevates wound risks. Asia Pacific is a fast emerging market with China and India at the forefront due to huge patient populations and improving access to care.
