The global skin grafting device market size was valued at USD 141.0 million in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.63% from 2025 to 2030. The market is driven by rising awareness about aesthetic procedures, high demand for skin grafts, and increasing awareness regarding the available treatment options. According to CUTISS, one of the pioneers in the development of the world's first automated platform for large-scale skin tissue production, in 2023, over 20,000 burn patients were documented in the U.S., with 10% suffering from significant burns that affected more than 20% of their body area. As climate change leads to rising temperatures, the incidence of burn injuries has been on the rise. While most burns occur in private homes, they also represent a significant injury risk in combat situations and other high-risk professions.
Skin grafting is a relatively recent advancement in surgical techniques that entails replacing damaged skin with skin from the surrounding area to promote wound healing. This procedure is recommended for various conditions such as skin infections, severe burns, trauma, pressure ulcers, skin cancer, and reconstructive surgery. Skin grafting systems comprise the necessary equipment, materials, consumables, and instruments used throughout the procedure, including those for creating a mesh, collecting samples, and applying the final graft. To treat wounds involving significant tissue loss, a full-thickness skin graft is necessary. This type of graft requires the complete thickness of skin from the donor site rather than just the upper two layers. After the graft is carefully positioned over the wound and secured with a covering for optimal healing, it is harvested from the healthy area.
Supportive measures from governments, including reimbursement schemes covering approximately 70-100% of therapy expenses, encourage individuals to opt for sophisticated treatments for burns. Additionally, both government bodies and non-profit entities, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Burn Association (ABA), play significant roles in increasing awareness. The WHO actively collaborates with the International Society for Burn Injuries, among other organizations, aiming to refine burn treatment methods and implement preventive measures against burn injuries worldwide.
Moreover, strategic initiatives by major companies, including the introduction of new products and the undertaking of mergers and acquisitions, contribute to market growth. For instance, in October 2024, CUTISS AG, a life science company specializing in tissue engineering therapy and regenerative medicine, successfully performed the first-ever grafting of denovoSkin, their autologous, bio-engineered dermo-epidermal skin graft. This innovative procedure was carried out as a compassionate reconstructive measure and marks the company's inaugural case in the United States. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) granted authorization for the procedure under a single patient Investigational New Drug (IND) application, which was executed by the skilled surgical team at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).
Moreover, rising cases of burn injuries are another key factor fueling the market growth. Below are some general statistics on burn injuries based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Burn Association:
