Market Trends of Global Wound Irrigation System Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Wound Irrigation System Market according to our research experts:
Manual segment is Expected to Hold a Significant Share Over the Forecast Period
The manual wound irrigation system involves thumb-controlled pressure and offers an accurate forceful stream directly to the wounded area. The manual wound irrigation system is usually used to clean hard-to-heal wounds or deep surgical wounds. The high incidents of diabetic foot ulcers and surgical site infections in low-income countries are expected to propel the segment growth during the forecast period. According to a study published by the Frontiers Media S.A. in 2021, the prevalence of surgical sites infections at University Clinics of Traumatology and Urology of the National University Hospital Centre Hubert Koutoukou Maga was found around 7.81% in 2019. Also, manual wound irrigation systems are easy to use and significantly reduces the risk of cross-contamination resulting in high demand in the industry.
Furthermore, the launch of advanced manual wound irrigation systems by the global medical device companies is anticipated to propel the segment growth. For instance, in May 2021, Becton, Dickinson and Company launched Surgiphor, an iodine-based first ready-to-use sterile wound irrigation system. It helps to remove debris from all wound types with minimal cytotoxicity. The above-mentioned data points indicate that the prevalence of surgical sites infection and demand for manual wound irrigation systems are increasing, which may drive market over the forecast period.
North America Dominates the Market and is Expected to do the Same in the Forecast Period
North America holds the major market share in the wound irrigation system market and is expected to dominate the overall market, throughout the forecast period owing to the high awareness and product availability in the region. The United States holds the majority of the market in the North America region due to a surge in road accident cases, a rise in diabetes prevalence, and well-developed healthcare infrastructure. According to a report published by International Diabetes Federation in 2020, 'IDF Diabetes Atlas 2019', approximately 31.0 million Americans had diabetes in 2019 and estimated to affect about 36.0 million Americans by 2045. The rise in diabetic cases in the United States is likely to increase the prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers in the country. Additionally, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in 2021, about 36,096 people died due to 33,244 fatal motor vehicle crashes in the United States in 2019. The above-mentioned statistics indicate that the prevalence of diabetes is increasing, which may drive the market over the forecast period.
