The global digital wound care management system market size is expected to reach USD 6.2 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.2% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth is driven by increasing technological advancements in digital wound care management solutions and growing awareness of their benefits. The aging population, which is at higher risk for diabetes and other chronic ailments, coupled with the rising global incidence of wounds and an increase in surgical procedures, is also fueling this growth. According to data from Healogics, LLC, approximately 34 million people in the United States are diagnosed with diabetes, with about 25% at risk of developing diabetic foot ulcers. Additionally, around 80% of lower extremity amputations are linked to prior foot ulcer incidents.
Advancements in AI-driven diagnostics and wearable device monitoring are further propelling market growth. Innovations in smart wound care and predictive analytics are improving treatment outcomes. For instance, in March 2024, Swift Medical received funding from DIGITAL, a leading digital technology innovation organization in Canada, to integrate AI into wound care, aiming to enhance patient outcomes. This initiative focuses on leveraging Swift Medical's advanced AI technologies to refine and standardize wound care practices.
The global COVID-19 pandemic brought both challenges and opportunities for growth and innovation in healthcare, particularly in the development of virtual wound care solutions. These advancements have significantly improved healthcare delivery. For instance, the Home and Community Care Support Services Central East introduced the Wound Care Inter-professional Team (IPT), a multidisciplinary team dedicated to providing uninterrupted, high-quality wound care in patients' homes and communities throughout the pandemic. To support this innovative care model, Central East implemented Swift Medical's digital wound management platform, which enabled precise wound data collection and analysis in home settings and facilitated virtual consultations between clinicians and patients, enhancing care continuity.
Furthermore, key players in the market are adopting various strategies such as mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, expansions, and new product launches to meet the evolving demands of end users and strengthen their market positions. For example, in April 2023, Swift Medical announced its participation in the Zebra PartnerConnect program, positioning itself as an Independent Software Vendor. This partnership integrates Swift Medical's digital wound management solution, Swift Skin and Wound, with Zebra's TC52ax mobile computers. The collaboration aims to extend healthcare providers' access to advanced wound care technologies, enhancing the quality of wound care while reducing costs.
