Indian Wound Dressing Market Valued at $693.6 million in 2025, Set to Grow at a 5.8% CAGR

Published: Mar 2026

Indian wound dressing market was valued at $693.6 million in 2025 and is projected to reach $ 1,208.4 million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period (2026-2035). India’s rising burden of diabetes has significantly increased the incidence of chronic, slow-healing wounds, particularly diabetic foot ulcers, which often require prolonged and specialized wound management. As a result, the Indian wound dressing market is witnessing a growing shift toward advanced therapeutic dressings that go beyond basic wound coverage to actively support healing, infection control, and tissue regeneration. This evolving clinical need is encouraging the introduction of innovative dressing technologies designed for complex and non-healing wounds. For instance, in November 2025, India’s first nitric oxide-releasing wound dressing, ColoNoX, was launched as a novel treatment for diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Developed by the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in collaboration with Cologenesis Pvt. Ltd., the dressing has received approval from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) for commercial manufacture and distribution. ColoNoX combines controlled nitric oxide release with a collagen hydrogel matrix to support wound healing by enhancing blood flow, reducing infection risk, absorbing exudate, and creating a favourable environment for tissue regeneration, offering an advanced option for managing chronic DFUs.

Sustainable Wound Care Development

  • In February 2024, Indian scientists developed an eco-friendly wound dressing using banana fibers, leveraging the country's abundant banana pseudo stems, typically discarded after harvest. Researchers at the Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology (IASST) created a biopolymer composite patch loaded with an extract from the Vitex negundo L. plant, showcasing its potential for in vitro drug release and antibacterial properties. This innovation is not only sustainable and cost-effective but also highlights the versatility of the banana plant, offering benefits for farmers and reducing environmental impact.
