The market by product is categorized into advanced wound dressing, surgical wound care, traditional wound care, wound therapy devices and wound care biologics. The advanced wound dressing segment garnered USD 2.3 billion revenue size in the year 2022.
 

• The segment's adaptability and efficacy in wound treatment are the primary factors driving the segment's dominance. Moreover, foam dressings have a high absorption capacity and are useful for controlling wound exudate, or fluid that oozes from a wound. They aid in preserving the moisture-rich environment surrounding the wound while avoiding excessive moisture accumulation, which may be harmful to the healing process.
   
• Additionally, foam dressings are soft, pliable, and cushioned, providing comfort to the patient. Therefore, the aforementioned factors are projected to stimulate segment expansion.

Based on application, the U.S. wound care market is segmented into chronic and acute wounds. The chronic wounds segment is further bifurcated into diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and other chronic wounds. The acute wounds are subdivided into surgical wounds, trauma wounds, and burns. This segment garnered USD 4.5 billion revenue size in the year 2022.

• Diabetic foot ulcers are commonly treated using moist wound dressings, which is estimated to account for USD 7.2 billion by 2032, because they benefit from a moist wound healing environment. These ulcers, which often occur in individuals with diabetes, can be slow to heal and prone to complications due to the underlying factors associated with diabetes. 
   
• Further, diabetic patients are at an increased risk of wound infections due to compromised immune function and poor circulation. Wound care dressings help create a barrier against external contaminants, reducing the risk of infection, thereby promoting segment progression.
   

Based on end-use, the U.S. wound care market is segmented into hospitals, specialty clinics, home care settings, and other end-users. The hospitals segment garnered USD 3 billion revenue size in the year 2022.
 

• Hospitals have wound care teams and specialized wound care nurses that are experienced in assessing, treating, and managing various types of wounds. They are knowledgeable about the latest wound care techniques and technologies.
   
• Further, hospitals typically have a wide range of advanced wound care products, including specialized dressings, negative pressure wound therapy, and other innovative wound management tools. This ensures that the most appropriate and effective dressing can be selected for each patient's unique requirement.

U.S. wound care market accounted for USD 8 billion revenue size in 2022 and is predicted to witness substantial market growth over the analysis timeline.

• The government's increased efforts to treat diabetes will hasten the growth of the sector. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health have collaborated on the National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP).
   
• By providing diabetes-related information to a variety of individuals in developing countries, faith-based organizations, ethnic minorities, community-based organizations, and healthcare providers, the National Diabetes information Program aims to lessen the burden of prediabetes.
   
• Moreover, the market demand will be supported by the significant emphasis on research and development as well as ongoing innovation in wound care.
