Burn Care Market
Burn wounds are extremely painful, highly traumatic, and can lead to permanent scarring, disfigurement or even death. The management of these wounds is based on the injured area and severity and depth of burn. Burn care market has witnessed various technological advancements to treat all degrees of burns injuries. For instance, in July 2016, a combined team of researchers from the Boston University and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center developed new type of hydrogel bandage for burn patients. The hydrogel bandage seals the burn wounds to prevent entry of bacteria and proven to be easily removable.
Market Dynamics
Increasing fire incidences are expected to lead to high demand for treatment of burn injuries, which is expected to drive growth of the burn care market. For instance, in January 2017 , according to the World Health Organization (WHO) data published in the African Journal of Emergency Medicines, burn injuries lead to around 18 million disability cases and over 2,50,000 deaths, annually, of over 90% deaths are registered from low-and middle-income countries. Moreover, the U.S. Fire Department responded to around 1.3 million fire incidences in 2016 and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reported 3,280 civilian deaths and 15,700 civilian injuries in these incidences.
However, increasing number of product recalls due to product failure, component inconsistency, and packaging problems is expected to hamper growth of the burn care market. For instance, in March 2018, Integra LifeSciences Corp. recalled its Manuka Honey Wound Gel, which is used for wound healing of minor scalds and burns, minor cuts, lacerations, and minor abrasions. The reason for recall was incorrect gel part number listed in a master manufacturing record. The product was finally terminated in July 2018.
