The pressure ulcers treatment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.66 billion in 2025 to $5.97 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased incidence of chronic wounds, expansion of hospital-based wound care programs, rising surgical intervention rates, growing availability of specialized wound care products, improved clinician training in wound management.
The pressure ulcers treatment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.42 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for advanced regenerative therapies, rising adoption of home-based wound treatment solutions, expansion of outpatient wound care centers, growing investments in biologic therapies, increasing emphasis on patient-centric treatment models. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of advanced wound care therapies, rising use of negative pressure wound therapy devices, growing integration of bioengineered skin substitutes, expansion of personalized treatment protocols, enhanced focus on infection control.
The expanding diabetic population is expected to drive the growth of the pressure ulcers treatment market in the coming years. The diabetic population consists of individuals diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, a long-term condition marked by elevated blood glucose levels. The rise in diabetes prevalence is largely attributed to lifestyle and dietary changes that increase obesity and insulin resistance, which are key risk factors for the disease. People with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing pressure ulcers due to issues such as reduced sensation, poor blood circulation, and delayed wound healing, leading to greater demand for effective treatment options and management solutions. For instance, in December 2023, according to the International Diabetes Federation Diabetes Atlas, a Belgium-based non-profit organization, one in nine people aged 20-79 years, or about 589 million individuals worldwide, were living with diabetes. This number is projected to rise to 853 million by 2050. Therefore, the growing diabetic population is contributing to the expansion of the pressure ulcers treatment market.
Major companies operating in the pressure ulcers treatment market are emphasizing the development of advanced wound care products, including biosynthetic cellulose dressings, to improve healing rates, lower infection risks, and enhance patient outcomes in chronic wound management. Biosynthetic cellulose dressings are advanced wound care solutions produced from bioengineered cellulose and offer high moisture retention, strong biocompatibility, and antimicrobial properties that support faster healing and infection prevention in conditions such as pressure ulcers. For instance, in June 2023, JeNaCell, a Germany-based Evonik biotech company, introduced the wound dressing epicite. This dressing is specifically designed for the management of chronic wounds with low to moderate exudation, including venous leg ulcers, arterial leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and soft tissue injuries. Epicite balance is available in three sizes and is supplied to hospitals and home care facilities. Made from biosynthetic cellulose, a hydrophilic polymer developed for advanced medical device applications, the dressing supports effective wound cleansing and stimulates the healing process in slow-healing wounds.
In May 2023, LifeNet Health, a US-based regenerative medicine company, acquired the wound care division of Bioventus Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens LifeNet Health’s position in the global regenerative medicine space by expanding its portfolio of advanced wound care solutions. Bioventus Inc. is a US-based company that offers advanced wound care products used in the treatment of pressure ulcers.
Major companies operating in the pressure ulcers treatment market are Cardinal Health, 3M Company, Medtronic plc, Stryker Corporation, Baxter International Inc, Medline Industries Inc, Smith & Nephew, Coloplast Corporation, B. Braun Medical Inc, Mölnlycke Health Care, Integra LifeSciences, Agiliti Health Inc, Arjo AB, Healogics Inc, EHOB Inc, Alimed Inc, Talley Group Ltd, Axio Biosolutions, Advancis Medical, Pegasus Healthcare, Lohmann & Rauscher.
North America was the largest region in the pressure ulcers treatment market in 2025. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in the pressure ulcers treatment market report are Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, Africa. The countries covered in the pressure ulcers treatment market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain.
Tariffs are impacting the pressure ulcers treatment market by raising costs of imported wound dressings, NPWT devices, advanced therapy equipment, and biologic materials used in clinical and homecare settings. Hospitals and clinics in North America and Europe are particularly affected due to dependence on imported high-value treatment products, while Asia-Pacific faces increased costs for device components. These tariffs are contributing to higher treatment expenses and slower adoption of advanced therapies. However, they are also encouraging local manufacturing of wound care products, domestic sourcing of medical consumables, and innovation in cost-optimized treatment solutions.
