Bioactive Dressings Global Market Report 2025

The bioactive dressings market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.0 billion in 2024 to $3.32 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to rising healthcare expenditures, high surgical rates, the increasing prevalence of diabetes, the expansion of medical tourism, and the growing aging population.

The bioactive dressings market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.92 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rise in surgical procedures, greater awareness of proper wound care management, the increasing incidence of obesity, and the growing occurrence of post-surgical chronic wounds. Key trends during this period include technological innovations in materials, the expansion of home healthcare, the integration of smart technologies, strategic collaborations and partnerships, and continuous advancements in medical technology.

The increasing prevalence of diabetes is expected to drive the expansion of the bioactive dressings market. Diabetes is a chronic medical condition in which the body either produces insufficient insulin or cannot effectively utilize the insulin it generates, leading to elevated blood glucose levels. The growing incidence of diabetes is linked to sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy eating habits, and rising obesity rates. Diabetic patients prefer bioactive dressings due to their ability to promote faster healing, reduce infection risks, and improve wound management. For example, in November 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based national public health agency, reported that the total prevalence rate of diabetes in the USA was 15.8%, with 11.3% diagnosed cases and 4.5% undiagnosed cases among U.S. adults. As a result, the increasing prevalence of diabetes is expected to boost the growth of the bioactive dressings market.

Leading companies in the bioactive dressings market are focusing on the development of innovative products, such as the next-generation PuraPly Surgical Solution, to enhance wound healing efficiency, prevent infections, and provide advanced solutions for complex wound care management. The next-generation PuraPly Surgical Solution is an advanced bioactive wound dressing designed to support wound management by forming a protective barrier against microbial contamination and promoting natural healing. For instance, in August 2022, Organogenesis Holdings Inc., a US-based regenerative medicine company, announced that it had received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for PuraPly MZ, an extension of the PuraPly product line. This product combines purified collagen with advanced antimicrobial agents to create a strong defense against infection while supporting tissue regeneration. It is designed to be more flexible, adaptable, and easier to apply, making it highly effective for managing surgical wounds, chronic wounds, and complex wounds. The new solution provides superior exudate management, improved patient comfort, and faster recovery times, ensuring a more comprehensive approach to wound care.

In August 2023, Coloplast A/S, a Denmark-based healthcare company, acquired Kerecis for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance Coloplast A/S's portfolio of products for treating chronic wounds, burns, and surgical wounds, aligning with the increasing demand for advanced wound care solutions. Kerecis, an Iceland-based company, specializes in fish-skin-based wound care and tissue regeneration products.
