The prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and vascular disorders across Europe is leading to an increase in chronic wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers. This trend is driving up the demand for advanced wound care solutions, encompassing dressings, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), and skin substitutes.
Advancements in wound care products are broadening treatment possibilities. These innovations include bioactive dressings, antimicrobial dressings, and progression factor-infused therapies. Additionally, the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital wound management tools for monitoring healing progress is gaining traction in Europe.
Governments in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are investing in healthcare infrastructure improvements, with an emphasis on enhancing access to advanced treatments for chronic conditions. This investment has resulted in increased availability and utilization of advanced wound care products in hospitals and clinics throughout the region.
