The North America advanced wound care market size was estimated at USD 4.19 billion in 2023 and is projected to hit around USD 6.70 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2033.
The North America Advanced Wound Care market stands at the forefront of healthcare innovation, addressing the critical needs of patients with complex wounds. This burgeoning market is characterized by a spectrum of advanced technologies and therapies aimed at expediting the healing process and enhancing overall patient outcomes.
The demand for advanced wound care products is increasing owing to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases across the region. Furthermore, increasing geriatric population is expected to impel market growth, as geriatric population has slow healing capabilities. For instance, as per a United Health Foundation report (published in May 2023), more than 55.8 million adults aged 65 and older lived in the U.S., accounting for about 16.8% of the nation's population in 2021, which is expected to propel market growth.
Advanced wound care products help to cure diabetic foot ulcers. For instance, according to JAMA Network, about 1.6 million people in the U.S. are affected by diabetic foot ulcers. Thus, an increase in number of diabetic patients is expected to increase the use of advanced wound care products. These products help in moisture retention and allow rapid healing of wounds internally as well as externally. Moreover, these products help in absorption of necrotic tissues and are effective in case of surgical site infection. Thus, healthcare professionals prefer to use advanced wound care products, which is anticipated to propel market growth over the forecast period.
The technological advancements in wound care products are projected to have a significant impact on the market. Some of the major technologically advanced products in this field are expected to be commercialized soon. For instance, nanoparticle-based wound healing and skin regeneration bioactive molecules have been developed, which when applied over the affected area, help sustain drug release and specifically improve the therapeutic effectiveness of drugs. Similarly, gene therapy products, which induce wound healing by introducing normal healthy genes into cells, are expected to be commercialized. For instance, in January 2023, Convatec launched the ConvaFoam in the U.S. ConvaFoam is a family of advanced foam dressings designed to meet the demands of medical professionals and their patients. This helped the company strengthen its presence in the U.S. market. Thus, with such advancements in wound care products, the market is expected to grow during the forecast period.

The hospital segment dominated the market and held the largest revenue share in 2023. The growth of this segment can be attributed to an upsurge in surgical procedures and an increase in the number of hospital admissions. For instance, according to the National Library of Medicine, in 2022, 13.2 million people were hospitalized in the U.S. Thus, the increase in the number of hospitals and hospitalization rates is expected to help the market grow during the forecast period. Similarly, the rise in number of surgeries in the region is further helping the market grow. For instance, according to NIH, annually, about 64 million surgical procedures are carried out in the U.S. Therefore, the growing number of surgeries may lead to an increase in the use of advanced wound care products, propelling the market growth.
The home healthcare segment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an increase in demand for home healthcare advanced wound care products. Moreover, the growing geriatric population is anticipated to propel the need for advanced wound care products further. The elderly population is more susceptible to chronic wounds, and with increasing age, wound healing ability of the body slows down. Moreover, according to Wound Care Learning Network, elderly people are more likely to be diagnosed with pressure ulcers. Thus, rise in the elderly population is expected to propel segment growth.
The moist wound care segment dominated the market and accounted for the largest revenue share of 71% in 2023. This dominance can be attributed to an increase in the number of wound cases and surgeries in the North American region. For instance, according to AHA Journals, approximately 40,000 children undergo congenital heart surgery in the U.S. As such surgeries take time to heal, advanced wound care products can help expedite recovery, thereby driving the market for advanced wound care during the forecast period.
The active wound care segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. This dressing offers advanced solutions for managing different chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and vascular diseases. Therefore, with an increase in number of patients suffering from pressure ulcers and venous foot ulcers, the segment is expected to grow over the forecast period.
The chronic wounds segment dominated the market and held a significant revenue share in 2023.Increasing number of diabetic foot ulcers, venous pressure ulcers, and other chronic wounds is expected to drive the segment growth. For instance, according to Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, more than 2.5 million people in the U.S. develop pressure ulcers every year. In addition, according to the CDC, in 2022, an estimated 37.3 million people, i.e., 11.3% of the total U.S. population, had diabetes. The rise in diabetic population is expected to increase the number of diabetic foot ulcer patients, thereby boosting market growth.
The acute wounds segment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. The increasing number of different traumatic wounds, such as road accidents, is the major factor driving the segment. Moreover, the incidence of non-fatal injuries, which require medical attention, has increased in the U.S. For instance, according to data from the CDC, the incidence of non-fatal injuries in 2021 was estimated to be 23,455,654. Similarly, according to an article by Brady United Organization, about 316 people are shot every day in the U.S., out of which 210 survive. Thus, with an increasing number of acute wounds, the segment is expected to grow over the forecast period.
Smith & Nephew, Mölnlycke Health Care AB, ConvaTec Group PLC, Baxter International, Coloplast Corp., Medtronic, and 3M are some of the dominant players operating in the advanced wound care industry.
Derma Sciences Inc. (Integra LifeSciences) and Medline Industries some of the emerging market players.
