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

Published: Mar 2026

US wound dressing market was valued at $4,912.9 million in 2025 and is projected to reach $7,599.7 million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period (2026-2035). Regulatory changes from the FDA, including proposed reclassification of certain wound dressings and liquid wound washes, create clearer pathways for unclassified products, enhancing market confidence and driving innovation and growth among manufacturers and investors. For instance, in February 2024, the FDA proposed reclassifying certain wound dressings and liquid wound washes containing antimicrobials or chemicals as Class II or III devices. This change required compliance with 510(k) for Class II products and a premarket approval (PMA) for Class III products. Class II manufacturers have six months to meet new controls, while Class III manufacturers can file a PMA notice within 90 days, with a 30-month approval timeline. The reclassification affects previously unclassified solid, gel-based dressings and liquid washes.
