Canada Advanced Wound Care Market Value Share Insights 2022-2029

Exudate Management

The exudate management market is valued at USD 74,451.2 thousand in 2019 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% over the forecast period to reach USD XX thousand by 2027. Exudate management accounts for 32.16% of the total Canada Advanced Wound Care market in 2019. Exudate is the fluid leaking from the wound, which has a vital role in the healing process. It is mainly water but also consists of nutrients, proteins, waste products and various types of cells such as platelets and macrophages. Exudate management is essential as it avoids significant pain, discomfort, and suffering of the patient due to wounds; helps create an optimal environment for wound healing; and prevents the risk of infection. As part of the normal healing process wounds release fluid (or exudate). Too much exudate (maceration) or too little exudate (desiccation) can interfere with wound healing, therefore it is important to manage moisture levels, particularly in chronic wounds. Negative pressure wound therapy, compression, and foam dressings can be helpful in managing exudate. On a day-to-day basis, exudate levels can fluctuate with the healing cycle, making it imperative for foam dressings to continue to provide consistent, reliable results. 

If the volume of exudate becomes excessive, there is risk of periwound maceration and excoriation of the surrounding skin, which can result in deterioration of the wound. This can complicate the healing process and lead to adverse patient outcomes. Hence, to avoid such complications, there is growing demand for exudate management advanced wound care products, which is further driving the market growth.

Common causes of exudates include pulmonary infections like pneumonia or tuberculosis, malignancy, inflammatory disorders like pancreatitis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, post-cardiac injury syndrome, chylothorax (due to lymphatic obstruction), hemothorax (blood in pleural space) and benign asbestos pleural effusion. Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) are two of the most common inflammatory diseases in children in Canada. Children living with these diseases continue to suffer from them throughout their lives. Canada has among the highest reported prevalence (number of people with CD or UC) and incidence rates (number of new cases per year) of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the world. The prevalence of IBD currently in Canada is nearly 0.7%, equating to more than 1 in every 150 Canadians. Hence, there is an increasing need of exudate management in Canada. BSN Medical and Smith & Nephew are some of the key players providing solutions for exudate management. Cutimed brand from BSN Medical is widely used for exudate management. Cutimed Cavity, Cutimed Siltec, Cutimed Siltec B, and Cutimed Siltec Plus among others are the various products offered by BSN Medical for exudate management. Cutimed Siltec has been developed to facilitate exudate management.

Hydrogel

The hydrogel advance wound care market in Canada  is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.39% in the forecasted period to reach a market value of USD XX thousand by 2027 from an initial market value of USD 8,843.6 thousand in 2019. Hydrogels are multifaceted hydrophilic, organic-based, cross-linked polymers consisting of an 85%–90% water. The hydrogels are available in a fixed flexible sheet form or free-flowing amorphous gel. Hydrogel dressings provide cooling effect at the site of wound, thereby causing reduction in the pain, wound debridement, granulation re-epithelization, and regulation of exchange of fluids in wounds.  Hydrogel dressings provide a moist environment for wound healing. They are used in the treatment of full- and partial-thickness wounds, radiation damage, acute burns, dry wounds, and others. The growing prevalence of diabetic patients with ulcer and wound disorders and an increasing number of traumatic injuries, especially severe burn injuries, led to the significant requirement of hydrogel dressings for wound management. In addition, increasing acceptance of hydrogel dressings as a substitute for conventional gauze for wound management is one of the key drivers of the market.

Moreover, technological innovation in wound care techniques, specifically, stimulus- activated amorphous hydrogels for preventing bleeding in severe trauma cases further complement the market growth.

Factors limiting the market growth are the high expenses related to the manufacturing of hydrogel dressings and an extensively long period to market pipeline products. Smith and Nephew, ConvaTech, Cardinal Health, Coloplast, and Medline Industries among others are some of the key players offering hydrogel dressings in  Canada. Purilon from Coloplast is a gentle hydrogel consisting of natural ingredients without any additives. It is used for wounds that need effective and gentle debridement of necrotic tissue thereby paving the way for faster wound healing. Key market players, such as 3M Company and Johnson & Johnson, adopt capacity addition and promotion of the benefits of the product over traditional wound closure products as their key strategies.  Recent advancement in chitosan hydrogel with human amniotic membrane has increased the scope of hydrogel dressing in tissue engineering and regeneration. In the year 2013, scientists successfully tested the amniotic membrane extracts (AME) and chitosan hydrogel dressing, also known as biological dressings, for treatment of partial burns. The key reason for the development of these dressings is that they provide improved healing results when compared to single-layered conventional wound dressing systems.
