Global Absorbent Surgical Dressing Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Absorbent Surgical Dressing market size was valued at US$ 6598 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 8057 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 2.9% during review period.

Absorbent surgical dressings are special materials used for wound care. They are usually made of highly absorbent materials and can quickly absorb secretions such as blood and tissue fluid from wounds. While absorbing wound secretions, absorbent surgical dressings can keep the wound in a moist environment. This helps promote wound healing because a moist environment is conducive to cell growth and reproduction, and can also reduce discomfort symptoms such as wound pain and itching. At the same time, some absorbent surgical dressings also contain ingredients that promote wound healing, such as growth factors, collagen, etc. These ingredients can accelerate the wound healing process.

With the increasing attention paid to wound care, the arrival of an aging society, and the increase in the number of patients with chronic wounds, the global absorbent surgical dressing market continues to expand.

Traditional wound dressings such as gauze and cotton pads are still widely used, especially in some primary medical institutions and home care. This type of dressing is relatively cheap and easy to replace, but it is relatively weak in terms of absorption performance, moisture retention and breathability.

Advanced wound dressings include hydrocolloid dressings, foam dressings, alginate dressings, silver ion dressings, etc. Advanced wound dressings are significantly better than traditional dressings in performance. Although the price is higher, they are increasingly widely used in clinical practice.

The global absorbent dressing market is mainly occupied by some internationally renowned medical device companies, such as 3M, Molnlycke Healthcare, Smith & Nephew, Convatec, etc. These companies have strong R&D capabilities, production capabilities and brand influence, and have a wide sales network and customer base worldwide.

Asia Pacific is estimated to register the highest CAGR of 5.62% over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the rising prevalence of chronic and acute diseases, along with an increase in the number of surgical procedures throughout the Asia Pacific region. For instance, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, in 2018, there were 352,000 hospital admissions, which were involved in emergency surgical procedures. Moreover, according to a similar source, there were 2.2 million admissions, which involved elective surgery in Australia. Therefore, with such an increase in the number of surgical procedures, acute wounds are expected to increase, thereby boosting the market growth in the Asia Pacific region during the forecast period.

As a medical device, the production, sales and use of absorbent dressings are strictly regulated. Governments and relevant agencies have formulated a series of regulations and standards to strictly control the quality, safety and effectiveness of absorbent dressings. Enterprises need to continuously improve product quality and management level to meet regulatory requirements.

Global key players of absorbent surgical dressing include 3M, Smith & Nephew, Mölnlycke Health ConvaTec, BSN Medical (Essity), etc. The top five players hold a share over 40%. In terms of product type, Gauze Dressing is the largest segment, occupied for a share of 27%, and in terms of application, Home Care has a share about 55 percent.
