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

The Netherlands wound care management is expected to record a CAGR of 6.92% over the forecast period (2022-2027).

COVID-19 had a significant impact on the Netherlands healthcare industry and wound care management. For instance, as per the article published in 2022 under the title ‘Impaired wound healing is associated with poorer mood and reduced perceived immune fitness during the COVID‐19 pandemic: A retrospective survey’, in the Netherlands, the Dutch Healthcare Authority (Nederlandse Zorgauthoriteit) reported a consistent delay in healthcare services across all medical disciplines. The healthcare facilities had postponed treatment or delayed diagnosis which was anticipated to impact long‐term survival. For example, delayed treatment of oncological patients or disrupted access to rehabilitation care were likely to have significant negative health consequences, including the increased burden of disease or reduced functional outcomes, respectively. Delayed wound care was of particular concern during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Since they often have underlying comorbidities such as diabetes, chronic wound patients are at increased risk for worse COVID‐19 outcomes in terms of hospitalization and death. Hence COVID-19 had a significant impact on the Netherland wound care management market.

The major contributors to the market are increasing incidences of chronic wounds, the rising number of surgical procedures, and the growing geriatric population. According to the International Diabetes Federation, 2020, around 1,019,100 people in the Netherlands were suffering from diabetes. Diabetes often leads to complications such as diabetic foot ulcer, sometimes which requires amputation of the leg. People with diabetes tend to have poor circulation which makes it difficult to provide nutrients to the wound, thus making it difficult to heal the wounds. Hence, these factors are expected to fuel wound care management growth in the Netherlands.

Furthermore, increased awareness programs in the wound care field in the Netherlands boosts market growth. For instance, Isala's Wound Expertise Center (WEC), in collaboration with Qualityzorg, is conducting a symposium on Thursday, September 15, 2022, under the title 'Symposium integral complex wound care region Zwolle and Meppel'. In this symposium, they are likely to discuss the developments in complex wound care over the past ten years and their plans for the future. They also discuss Advance care planning (ACP) in primary care.

As per the aforementioned factors, the Netherlands wound care management is likely to grow over the forecast period. However, the high cost associated with wound care and its treatment restrains the market growth.

Key Market TrendsSurgical Staples are Expected to Show a Healthy Growth in the Netherlands Wound Care Management Market Over the Forecast Period

Surgical staplers are used in surgical procedures for closing wounds, surgical incisions, and reconnecting tissues. The increasing geriatric population and surgical procedures, shifting preferences of people to minimally invasive procedures, and rising incidences of wounds are expected to increase the demand for surgical staplers. According to the World Ageing Report, 2019, around 3,352 people in the Netherlands were aged 65 years and above, and by 2030 the number is expected to reach approximately 4,295. In addition, surgical staplers are observed to be widely used internally and are used to deliver staples to tissues inside the body during surgery for resection, transection, and anastomoses. Since the geriatric population is more prone to undergo surgeries due to their medical conditions, utilization of surgical staples is likely to be more during surgeries. Therefore, it is expected to boost the demand for these surgical staples and thereby propel market growth.

Furthermore, the advancement in surgical staplers and multiple numbers of research conducted in the wound care area boost the market growth. For instance, as per the article published in 2022 under the title ‘A multicentre cross-sectional survey study on acute wound classification in the emergency department and its interobserver variability’, in Dutch emergency departments, healthcare professionals are reserved to use existing classifications due to their moderate user-friendliness and because most healthcare professionals hold on to their systematic approach. The frequently used classifications for acute wounds in the Netherlands and the interobserver variability of the Gustilo Anderson wound classification (GAWC) and Red Cross wound classification (RCWC) in acute wounds. It is recommended to apply the GAWC to acute wounds with underlying fractures and the RCWC to major traumatic injuries. Hence improved awareness regarding wound care management In the studied field boost the market growth.

Because of the aforementioned factors, the surgical staplers segment is likely to face growth over the forecast period.
