Skin Bank Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2017-2027
The global skin bank market is expected to grow at an impressive CAGR in the forecast period, 2023-2027. The skin banks represent a valuable resource in providing cadaveric allograft skin as a cover for partial-thickness as well as full-thickness burn injuries. Post recovery from a donor, skin is further tested for infection, processed, and frozen until needed. Advanced biological and synthetic membranous wound dressings have enhanced the treatment and outcome of partial-thickness burns. For full-thickness burns, the search for the ideal skin substitute is still ongoing. The positive results accomplished by treating severe thermal burns with skin allografts have led to the development of effective long time preservation methods. Human skin can be frozen and kept viable at low temperatures by utilizing cryoprotective media containing glycerol or dimethyl sulfoxide.
An increase in the Number of Burn Cases Across the Globe Propelling the Growth of the Market
Skin is considered the largest organ of the body. The growing number of burn cases across the globe is propelling market growth. A person can survive with more than 60% damage to other organs, including the liver and kidney, but loss of 40% of the skin may be fatal unless the tissue is replaced. An increasing number of burn injuries across the globe every year require skin cover which supports the growth of the skin bank.
A rise in the Number of Skin Cancer is Expected to Boost the Market Growth
Skin cancer is referred to as the most common type of cancer. The major types of skin cancer are squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Melanoma is much less common than the other types but much more likely to invade nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body. Most deaths from skin cancer are caused by melanoma. Skin cancer propels the need for skin banks for the efficient treatment of skin cancer patients across the globe which is expected to bolster the growth of the market in the upcoming years.
