Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) Devices Market, by Product Type (Single-use NPWT Devices and Conventional NPWT Devices), by Application (Diabetic Foot Ulcers, Pressure Ulcers, Venous Leg Ulcers, Burn Wounds, and Others (Surgical Wounds, Traumatic Wounds, etc.)), by End User (Hospitals, Home Care Settings and Others (Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), Specialty Clinics, etc.)), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa)- Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT), also known as vacuum-assisted wound closure, refers to wound dressing systems that continuously or intermittently apply sub-atmospheric pressure to the system, creating positive pressure on the surface of a wound. Negative-pressure therapy technology has gained popularity as a management technique for various acute and chronic wounds or surgical wounds. Benefits of negative-pressure wound therapy include faster wound granulation and re-epithelialization, reduction of bacterial load, and increased tissue oxygenation.
Rise in adoption of advanced NPWT systems, which include open-pore foam sponge, adhesive dressing, and vacuum pump, is driving the global market. Additionally, negative-pressure wound therapy technology provides advantages such as better healing of transplanted skin and shorter hospital stay for patients receiving split-thickness skin grafts. Recent improvements in negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) devices, such as increased accuracy and efficiency in smart pressure portable NPWT devices, has led to an increase in demand for these devices. In developed countries, demand for NPWT devices is increasing in homecare settings due to safety features, easy handling, and high awareness about the devices.
Market Dynamics
Increasing awareness regarding chronic wounds and its treatments is expected to drive the market growth. Moreover, increase in the prevalence of global burden of diabetes and increase in the prevalence of chronic wounds and ulcer is expected to drive the growth of the negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) devices market for the forecast period. For instance, according to a study titled ‘An estimate of the economic burden of venous leg ulcers associated with deep venous disease’ published by National Center for Biotechnology Information, in August 2021 reported that venous leg ulcers (VLU) account for 70% of all chronic leg ulcers and are associated with a recurrence rate of 60–70% at 10 years, globally. The deep venous ulcers are responsible for 90% of the venous return to the right atrium from the lower extremities. Such a recurrence of the condition creates the need for NPWT devices and is thus expected to drive the growth of the market.
