The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of chronic wounds, training programs for providers, lifestyle diseases and environmental factors, steady increase in healthcare facilities, and patient-centric solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in wound care technologies, a shift towards outpatient care, developing healthcare infrastructure, new product developments in gel, and patient support programs.

The rising prevalence of chronic wounds is expected to significantly drive the growth of the Santyl market in the coming years. Chronic wounds are defined as wounds that do not heal within the typical 4-6 week timeframe, often due to underlying conditions such as diabetes, venous insufficiency, or prolonged pressure. The increasing incidence of chronic wounds can be attributed to the aging population and the growing rates of diabetes, both of which contribute to poor circulation and delayed healing. Santyl is applied directly to chronic wounds to break down necrotic tissue, facilitating faster healing while preserving healthy tissue. For instance, in July 2023, OSF HealthCare reported that approximately 6.7 million people in the U.S. are currently living with chronic wounds, with this number expected to rise by more than 2% annually over the next decade. As a result, the increasing incidence of chronic wounds is expected to fuel the growth of the Santyl market.

The rise in burn accidents is another factor that is likely to drive the growth of the Santyl market. Burn accidents are injuries caused by exposure to heat, flame, chemicals, electricity, or radiation, leading to damage of the skin and underlying tissues. The frequency of burn accidents is on the rise due to factors such as urbanization, the use of hazardous industrial equipment, unsafe cooking practices, insufficient safety measures, and a general lack of awareness regarding fire prevention. Santyl aids in treating burn wounds by removing dead tissue, promoting faster healing, reducing infection risks, and preparing the wound bed for optimal recovery. For instance, in October 2024, the International Burn Injury Database reported a 55% increase in burns and scalds among children in the first eight months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. Consequently, the rising number of burn accidents is contributing to the growth of the Santyl market.

An increase in healthcare expenditure is also expected to drive the Santyl market. Healthcare expenditure refers to the total financial resources spent on healthcare services, products, preventive care, and health-related infrastructure by individuals, organizations, or governments within a specific period. Factors such as an aging population, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, advances in medical technology, higher treatment costs, and greater demand for healthcare services are contributing to the growth of healthcare expenditure. Rising healthcare expenditure supports the use of Santyl by funding advanced wound care treatments, improving accessibility, and enhancing outcomes for patients with burn injuries and other wounds. For example, in May 2024, the Office for National Statistics reported a 5.6% increase in healthcare expenditure in the UK from 2022 to 2023, compared to a 0.9% growth in 2022. Therefore, the rising healthcare expenditure is expected to drive the growth of the Santyl market.
