The Spain advanced wound care market size is projected to reach US$ 249.69 million by 2031 from US$ 170.40 million in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 4.9% during 2023-2031.
Complex wounds that do not heal with standard treatment may require advanced wound care in a setting that allows for comprehensive medical treatment, oversight from wound care specialists and an extended recovery period. One type of wound that may require advanced wound care are pressure ulcers, which are caused when a person remains in the same position for too long, resulting in decreased blood circulation and tissue damage. Surgical wounds sometimes require advanced wound care if the incision does not heal as expected due to an infection, medical conditions such as diabetes, advanced age or a weakened immune system.
Increase in Prevalence of Diabetes and Wounds Propels Spain Advanced Wound Care Market Growth
Chronic wound is the type of wound that proceeds through an orderly and timely process that produces anatomic and functional integrity within 3 months, or that has proceeded through the repair process without establishing a sustained, anatomic and functional result. Rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and other autoimmune disorders is burdening the healthcare system in Spain. Chronic diseases directly affect the body's ability to heal. Diabetes and immunodeficiency conditions are among the most detrimental conditions that can lead to diabetic wounds. Diabetes is the chronic disease that is most commonly identified and associated as a risk factor for hospital-acquired and facility pressure injuries. The disease adversely affects the immune system, causing infections to be more common and causing wounds. It is one of the most significant global health emergencies of the 21st century. As per the article 'Diabetes Incidence Rising in Spanish Youth', Spain has the second highest number of diabetes patients in Europe. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), about 5.14 million people in Spain were affected by diabetes in 2021, and the count is expected to increase to 5.6 million by 2045. As per the article 'Diabetes Incidence Rising in Spanish Youth', ~23.3% of people aged 16 years and below are overweight, and 17.3% are obese. Diabetes negatively affects many parts of the body, especially the feet. Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are sores that develop on the feet, and they can develop even from seemingly trivial injuries to the feet. DFU is a common cause of amputation due to diabetes. Thus, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases that increase the number of wound cases fuels the growth of the Spain advanced wound care market.
Chronic nonhealing wounds are major healthcare challenges that affect a significant number of people; they exert a severe financial burden and can cause limb amputation. Chronic wounds are in a persisting inflamed state and can require different dosages of medication during the healing process. A smart wound dressing patch can be used to monitor wounds and administer the required drug dosage. Smart dressings are multimodal wearable devices that enable real-time physiological monitoring and active intervention to promote the healing of chronic wounds. Dressings with precise, low-cost sensors can be used in a variety of medical conditions to help achieve a decrease in the total cost of chronic wounds treatment. Sensors for monitoring wounds are related to main physiologic indicators such as temperature, moisture, pH, pressure, oxygen, and bacterial load. Biocompatibility and flexibility are important features in the development of sensors for chronic wound monitoring to avoid tissue damage. Smart dressing will allow the monitoring of multiple wound parameters from the data acquired from sensors integrated within the smart bandage, decreasing the time required to examine and monitor the wound. Due to the cost effectiveness and accuracy of smart wound dressings, there will be an increase in demand for smart wound dressing, which is expected to fuel the Spain advanced wound care market growth in the coming years.
