The increasing global prevalence of chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and venous leg ulcers, is fueling demand for effective wound management solutions, thereby driving growth in the wound dressing market. Chronic wounds represent a significant and growing global health challenge, affecting both healthcare systems and patients globally. According to estimates from the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2025, chronic wounds impact approximately 1–2% of the global population, driven by factors such as aging, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. Diabetic foot ulcers alone affect a substantial portion of people with diabetes, with up to 15% experiencing foot ulcers during their lifetime, often leading to serious complications if not properly managed. Chronic wounds are a major contributor to hospital admissions and long-term care needs, particularly pressure ulcers and venous leg ulcers, which are prevalent in both elderly and immobile patient populations. In the US, chronic wounds affect around 6.5 million people annually, with healthcare spending associated with wound management reaching tens of billions of dollars. Various government agencies and health organizations worldwide have emphasized the need for comprehensive chronic wound care initiatives, integrating prevention, early intervention, and advanced treatment strategies to reduce clinical and economic burdens.
