NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY (NPWT) DEVICES MARKET ANALYSIS

Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) systems are FDA class II devices that consist of a vacuum pump, drainage tubing, and wound dressing set requiring electricity to maintain its use. NPWT is indicated for the application of suction (negative pressure) to promote wound healing and for the removal of fluids such as wound exudate, irrigation fluids, bodily fluids, or infectious materials. NPWT may be indicated for use on chronic, acute, traumatic, sub-acute, and dehisced wounds, diabetic ulcers, pressure injuries, skin flaps, and grafts.

Global negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) devices market is estimated to be valued at US$ 2,288.1 million in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period (2022-2030).

Global Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) Devices Market- Drivers

Increasing prevalence of chronic wounds and ulcers among the global population is expected to drive the growth of the global negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) devices market during the forecast period.

For instance, according to an article published in the National Library of Medicine, on October 5, 2020, titled “The Incidence of Pressure Ulcers and its Associations in Different Wards of the Hospital: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis,” it is estimated that about 2.5 million hospitalizations annually in the U.S. are due to pressure ulcers. Moreover, in the U. S., about US$ 11 billion is spent annually by the healthcare system for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.

Increase in the prevalence of diabetes is expected to the drive the market growth over the forecast period.

For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), as of September 16, 2022, 422 million people globally have diabetes, and the prevalence has been rising more rapidly in low- and middle-income countries than in high-income countries.
