AI in Wound Care Market Report 2026

The artificial intelligence (AI) in wound care market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $0.97 billion in 2025 to $1.19 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of chronic wounds, rising incidence of diabetes-related ulcers, adoption of digital wound documentation, growth in hospital-based wound care programs, availability of imaging-based assessment tools.

The artificial intelligence (AI) in wound care market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.71 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for personalized wound treatment, rising adoption of remote patient monitoring, expansion of ai-enabled clinical decision support, growing focus on cost-effective wound management, increasing integration of ai with telehealth platforms. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use of AI-based wound assessment tools, rising adoption of predictive healing analytics, growing integration of remote wound monitoring solutions, expansion of personalized wound care algorithms, enhanced automation of clinical documentation.

The increasing incidence of diabetes is anticipated to drive the growth of the artificial intelligence (AI) in wound care market in the coming years. Diabetes is a chronic disease marked by elevated blood glucose levels and is associated with complications such as cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, neuropathy, and vision impairment. The rising prevalence of diabetes is largely attributed to growing obesity rates, which heighten the risk of type 2 diabetes, as well as aging populations, since diabetes risk increases with age. AI in wound care supports diabetes management by enabling precise wound evaluation and personalized treatment planning, thereby improving the efficiency and effectiveness of diabetic ulcer management. For example, in May 2024, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based government organization, 38.4 million people in the United States, representing 11.6 percent of the population, were living with diabetes. Among adults aged 65 years and older, prevalence was notably higher at 29.2 percent. Therefore, the rising incidence of diabetes is contributing to the expansion of the artificial intelligence (AI) in wound care market.

Key companies operating in the artificial intelligence (AI) in wound care market are emphasizing the integration of advanced solutions such as AI-driven digital wound management platforms to improve clinical efficiency, wound monitoring, documentation accuracy, and prediction of healing outcomes. AI-enabled digital wound management solutions are software platforms that apply computer vision and machine learning technologies to analyze wound images and clinical information, allowing real-time wound measurement, automated documentation, and monitoring of healing progress. For instance, in October 2024, Swift Medical, a Canada-based digital wound care technology company, launched Skin & Wound 2, an AI-powered digital wound care platform developed to support clinicians across multiple care environments. The platform features sub-millimeter accuracy imaging, electronic medical record integration through fast healthcare interoperability resources (FHIR), and automated tracking of wound healing timelines. Skin & Wound 2 enhances consistency in wound assessment, reduces documentation workload, and supports data-driven clinical decision-making.

In July 2024, Spectral AI Inc., a US-based artificial intelligence company, partnered with PolyNovo to introduce the DeepView System for assessing burn wound healing potential in Australia. Initially, the system is being implemented in two major hospitals to enhance patient care and gather clinician feedback prior to a wider commercial rollout. PolyNovo is an Australia-based medical technology company that develops medical devices for the management of complex wounds.
