South Korea Wound Care Management Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecasts (2020 - 2025)

• The South Korean wound care management market will show rapid growth due to the increase in diabetes and the obese population and the rising incidence of chronic wounds and an increase in the number of surgeries.
• Diabetes is a significant global public health issue, and its burden is projected to increase. In South Korea, diabetes is a major contributor to the disease's burden, affecting approximately 5 million Korean adults in 2016. The increase in diabetes has, consequently, increased diabetes-related morbidity, thus becoming a socioeconomic burden.
• Therefore, there is also an incidence of chronic wounds, especially foot ulcers, increasing among the diabetic population. Therefore, the number of diabetic patients is expected to grow with the increasing geriatric population, which, in turn, will drive the growth of the wound care management devices in South Korea.
