Wound Care in the United Kingdom

Description

Wound care is one of the most stagnant categories in OTC consumer health in the UK. There are several factors contributing to its limited growth, namely the lack of innovation and limited development in use cases. The immediate years following the pandemic and the return to greater mobility created greater opportunities for wounds to arise, such as children returning to playing outside and people returning to play sports, creating a need to help keep injuries clean when outside of the home.
