The high cost of chronic wound treatments and advanced wound care products may negatively affect their adoption, especially in cost-sensitive markets such as Asia and the RoW. Patients and physicians in these regions opt for less-expensive advanced wound care products.
However, with growing awareness regarding the effectiveness of these products and increasing disposable incomes in many of these countries, the adoption of advanced wound care products is expected to increase in the coming years. Although these products are more expensive than traditional gauzes, recent studies indicate overall cost savings due to decreased labor costs.
The advanced wound care market is very dynamic and has witnessed several developments in recent years. The major trend in this market is the acquisition of small players by prominent players. Small companies possess strong R&D capabilities but lack the financial strength to seek approvals and launch products in the market.
