Segment Analysis

The global biomaterial wound dressing market has been segmented based on type, application, and end user.

On the basis of type, the market is segmented into hydrogel, alginate dressing, hydrocolloid dressings, skin substitutes, and others. The hydrogel segment held the majority share of the market in 2022. This can be attributed to the versatile properties of hydrogels, including high moisture content and effective wound hydration, facilitating an optimal environment for the healing process. Hydrogels are particularly favored for their ability to maintain a moist wound environment, supporting tissue repair and promoting faster healing. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of hydrogel dressings is driven by their ease of application, comfortable wear, and effectiveness in managing various types of wounds.

On the basis of the application, the market is segmented into burns, pressure ulcers, surgical wounds, lacerations and cuts, skin grafts, and others. The surgical wounds segment dominated the market in 2022. This can be attributed to the widespread utilization of biomaterial wound dressings in various surgical procedures, where these dressings play a crucial role in postoperative care. The surgical wounds segment benefits from the advanced properties of biomaterial dressings, such as promoting a sterile environment, reducing the risk of infection, and aiding in the healing process.

On the basis of end user, the market is segmented into hospitals & clinics, ambulatory surgical centre, and homecare settings. The hospitals & clinics segment dominated the market in 2022. This can be attributed to the pivotal role these healthcare institutions play in managing a diverse range of wounds, including those resulting from surgeries, accidents, or chronic conditions. Hospitals and clinics often prefer biomaterial wound dressings due to their advanced features, such as enhanced moisture control, infection prevention, and accelerated healing properties. The clinical setting provides a conducive environment for the application of biomaterial wound dressings, with trained healthcare professionals overseeing their use.
