TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Bioactive Wound Care Market in the US: 3M Company, ConvaTec Inc., Mölnlycke Health Care AB, and Smith & Nephew plc.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “The demand for antimicrobial dressings is currently on the rise owing to their ability to combat microbial infections. Commonly used antimicrobial dressings include silver-coated dressings that contain bioactive silver ions and dressings that contain cadexomer iodine to prevent bacterial growth in tissues and promote faster healing. New antimicrobial dressings with agents such as polyhexamethylene biguanide hydrochloride and activated charcoal have also been launched in the market to cater to patients allergic to silver ions. Thus, the increased adoption of antimicrobial dressings is expected to encourage the growth of the market during the forecast period.”
According to the report, one of the major drivers is the increase in the aging population in the US. The increase in the aging population results in increased prevalence of chronic and hard-to-heal wounds such as pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and venous ulcers, thereby increasing the demand for bioactive wound care products.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the market is the presence of substitutes for bioactive wound care products such as foam dressings and semi-permeable and transparent film dressings, which are cost-effective as compared to bioactive alginate or hydrocolloid dressing.
The report also includes a discussion of the other vendors operating in this market. The other vendors in the market are Coloplast A/S, Covalon Technologies Ltd., Covidien plc, Organogenesis Inc., Paul Hartmann AG, and Systagenix Wound Management Ltd.
