Silicone Foam Dressings Market

The global silicone foam dressings market was valued at USD631.6 Mn in 2019. Excellent ergonomic features associated with silicone foam dressing such as superior absorbency and moisture vapor transmission rate renders it the most favorable dressings for surgical wounds, ulcers, and burns worldwide. Significant rise in the number of surgical procedures performed throughout the globe and rising prevalence of pressure ulcers further fortify the market demand for silicone foam dressings. The exorbitant cost associated with the silicon foam dressings may serve as a limitation for its market growth.

Silicone foam dressings have gained prominence in the last 3 decades, on account of its ability to facilitate the healing process in wounds associated with skin tears, surgical incisions, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers, etc. It is primarily used when there is adhesion problem encountered by the dressings to the wound area, silicone foam dressings overcomes this problem by allowing the exudate to pass into a secondary absorbent layer thereby creating suffocate space between the adhesion layer and wound which facilitated the removal of dressing without causing any trauma, pain, discomfort, etc. It also maintains a moist environment at the wound site to promote healing, the silicone foam dressing has superior absorbency and moisture vapor transmission rate owing to its porous nature. It enhances the breathing rate of the wound by the exchange of air and preventing the entry of microorganisms.

Segment Analysis

Surgical wounds are presently spearheading the application segment for the silicone foam dressings market. According to the latest research statistics provided by the Harvard Medical School in 2017, the global prevalence rate of surgical procedure stands at 28.14%. Constant rise in roadside accidents and traumatic injuries inflicted due to occupational hazards will provide potential demand for the silicon foam dressings market. Ulcers will be anticipated to grow at a rampant pace during the forecast period on account of the rising prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers. There has been a significant rise in the number of severe skin burn cases worldwide which is primarily associated with factors such as domestic violence and fire accidents.

Hospitals & clinics are dominating the end-user segment for the silicone foam dressings market. The hospitals are the first point of contact for patients suffering from traumatic injuries and deep wound lacerations. Huge funding provided by government healthcare agencies to provide silicone foam dressings to the hospitals and clinics to cater to the medical needs of patients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers. Ambulatory surgical centers are gaining tremendous traction on account of its ability to provide medical relief to patients in remote locations suffering from burns and deep tissue lacerations associated with occupational hazards.

Regional Analysis

North America is currently representing the largest market share in the geography segment for the silicone foam dressing market. According to the latest statistics provided by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), annually 6.5 million are treated for chronic wounds in the United States which creates a huge market demand for silicone foam dressings. Presence of major players pioneering in the manufacturing of silicone foam dressings such as Coloplast Corp. Convatec, Inc., 3M Company, Cardinal Health, DermaRite Industries, LLC., etc. will further consolidate the market growth in the region. As per the latest research citings brought forward by the CORDIS report of the European Commission approximately 8 million people in Europe suffer from the risk of developing diabetic foot ulcers which provide tremendous potential demand for silicone foam dressings market. The supportive regulatory environment provided by the European Medical Agency (EMA) for the expedited clearance of the silicone foam dressings market further propels the market growth in the region. Asia Pacific is expected to register faster growth during the forecast period on account of the rising prevalence of chronic wounds and a significant rise in the burns cases achieved due to occupational hazards.
