Wound contact layer dressings are specifically designed to directly interact with the wound bed, aiming to minimize trauma and pain during dressing changes while promoting wound healing by sustaining a moist environment.
The primary types of wound contact layer dressings include silver, silicone, honey, and others. Silver wound contact layer dressings incorporate silver, a natural antimicrobial agent, embedded within the dressing material to prevent infections and foster wound healing by inhibiting bacterial growth. These dressings are available in antimicrobial and non-antimicrobial variants and are utilized across various applications including hospitals, clinics, home care, among others.

The wound contact layer dressing market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $0.35 billion in 2023 to $0.39 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The expansion observed during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the growing aging population, heightened awareness about wound care products, increased healthcare expenditure, the proliferation of home healthcare services, regulatory approvals and product launches, and the escalating incidence of diabetes and obesity.
The wound contact layer dressing market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.62 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing prevalence of chronic wounds, a rising geriatric population, growing awareness about advanced wound care, and the expansion of healthcare infrastructure. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass the development of advanced materials, biodegradable and sustainable solutions, customization and personalization in wound care, the integration of smart technology, and a heightened focus on addressing chronic wounds.
The increasing incidence of accidents necessitating effective healing methods is expected to drive the growth of the wound contact layer dressing market in the future. Accidents are on the rise due to factors such as increased vehicle usage, distracted driving, and inadequate safety measures. Wound contact layer dressings play a crucial role in accident management by safeguarding the wound site, promoting healing through moisture retention, and minimizing pain and trauma during dressing changes. For example, data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, a government agency, indicated that in 2022, private sector employers reported 2.8 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses, marking a 7.5% increase from 2021. This increase was driven by a 4.5% rise in injuries and a 26.1% increase in illnesses. The growing number of accidents requiring effective healing methods will thus propel the demand for wound contact layer dressings.
Companies in the wound contact layer dressing market are concentrating on developing negative pressure wound therapies integrated with smart technologies such as dynamic exudate removal technology to enhance wound healing outcomes and patient comfort. Dynamic exudate removal technology represents an innovative approach to managing wound exudate effectively, utilizing dynamic mechanisms to improve fluid removal from the wound bed and create optimal healing conditions. For instance, in August 2023, Medela, a Swiss-based medical equipment manufacturer, introduced the Invia integrated wound dressing. This sterile dressing is suitable for various wound types, including closed surgical incisions, and can be used conveniently at home or in hospital settings for up to seven days. The company received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the 'peel-and-stick' adhesive. Featuring a three-layer fluid handling pad with a skin-friendly silicone adhesive border, the new dressing also incorporates a Quick-Connector, a standard feature across all of the company's NPWT products, facilitating pump-to-dressing connections.
In December 2021, Essity AB, a Sweden-based provider of hygiene and health products, acquired Hydrofera LLC for $116 million. This acquisition aims to bolster Essity's market position and expand its offering in advanced wound care. Hydrofera LLC, a US-based hospital and healthcare company, specializes in providing advanced wound care products, including antibacterial wound dressings.
