Japan Wound Care Management Devices Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The Japan Wound Care Management devices market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.8% over the forecast period.

COVID-19 is expected to have a significant impact on the growth of the market. This is mainly due to the disrupted wound care management during the pandemic period. According to the article titled ' Trends in Diabetes Care during the COVID-19 Outbreak in Japan: an Observational Study' published in May 2021 there was a 61% reduction in diabetic foot care services in Japan during the pandemic. Thus, the outbreak of COVID-19 had a significant impact on the growth of the market during the pandemic period.

The Wound care market in Japan is expected to grow during the forecast period. The primary factor for the growth of this market is the rising of the geriatric population in Japan as the elderly tend to have vulnerable skin and require expert wound care management. As per the article titled "Skin Characteristics of sites predisposed to pressure ulcers among Bedridden Elderly patients in Japan" published in June 2021 Skin damage in the elderly contributes to pressure ulcer formation due to increased friction and shear forces. Thus, the increase in the geriatric population is also expected to contribute to the growth of the market. According to the article titled ' Japan's Older population hits record high' Published in September 2021 the estimated number of people aged 65 or older in Japan stood at a record high of 36.4 million an increase of 220,000 from 2020. This has been the major factor, as the recovery period of injuries is delayed in the geriatric population. Increasing incidences of chronic wounds, ulcers, and diabetic ulcers is also another major factor for the market growth. There is an increasing prevalence of diabetes, which is the primary cause of diabetic foot ulcers, in Japan. According to the article titled ' Rates and risk factors for amputation in people with diabetes in Japan: ahistorical Cohort study using a nationwide claims database' published in April 2021 the incidence of diabetic foot ulcers was 2.9 per 1000 person-years. Moreover, the incidence of other injuries and accidents has increased the overall number of surgeries in Japan. Hence all these factors have been propelling the market growth of the wound care management market in Japan.

Key Market TrendsApplication in Diabetic Foot Ulcer is Expected to Dominate the Market

A wound dressing is a sterile pad or compresses applied to a wound to promote healing and protect the wound from further harm. A dressing is designed to be in direct contact with the wound, as distinguished from a bandage, which is most often used to hold a dressing in place.

Therefore the prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers is expected to be the major wound type that requires wound care management in the Japanese population. According to the article titled ' 47th Annual meeting of the Japanese Society for Wound Healing Kyoto, Japan ' published in February 2020 Diabetic foot is a major risk and diabetic foot problem is a common cause of morbidity. Also, the article titled "Incidence and Risk factors for amputation in patients with diabetes in Japan: A historical cohort study using a nationwide claims database" published in December 2020 mentioned that a high degree of hyperglycemia was thought to delay wound healing and significantly increase the risk of wound healing after surgery. Such risk of wound healing due to diabetes is expected to drive the demand for wound care management devices in Japan, thereby contributing to the growth of the studied segment during the forecast period.

Moreover, the percentage of the geriatric population in Japan is thus increasing the demand for wound care products that helps in the market growth.
