MARKET DRIVERS

The growing number of people diagnosed with diabetes across the U.S. is one of the key factors driving the negative pressure wound therapy market in the U.S. Nearly 15% of the diabetic population suffer from diabetic foot ulcers and chronic wounds. A diabetic foot ulcer is a significant chronic wound in the diabetic patient, which takes a long time to heal. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) can be an effective treatment option for chronic and complex wounds. NPWT is a non-invasive therapy that removes the excess fluid/bad fluid from the wound, which results in wound healing and reduces pain in the wound area.

The growing incidence of surgical wounds further drives growth in the U.S. market. The number of surgical wounds that result from the surgeries is increasing with each year passing. After surgical procedures, people suffer from a wound that requires treatment for a fast cure without any further infection. This surgical-related infection can be treated using negative pressure wound therapy for positive results.

The increasing prevalence of burns and c-section surgeries is anticipated to favor the negative pressure wound therapy market growth in the U.S. Caesarean delivery is a standard surgical procedure among women in the United States; an estimated 30% of births are from cesarean deliveries. However, one-fourth of the women suffer from surgical site infection post-cesarean delivery for various reasons. As a result, prophylactic negative pressure wound therapy is a single-use and battery-powered system approved by the FDA and can be used after cesarean delivery at the surgical site. In addition, the growing aging population is expected to contribute to market growth in the coming days.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

However, the availability of alternative therapies and the high costs associated with the therapies are hampering the market growth. In addition, the lack of skilled professionals, the slow process of regulatory approvals, and complications with negative pressure wound therapy usage are hindering the market’s growth rate.
