Hydrogel Dressing Market in Europe: Segmentation by Region

Germany was the largest hydrogel dressing market in Europe in 2019, and the country will offer several growth opportunities to market vendors during the forecast period. Favorable demographic changes, increasing awareness about advanced wound care products, and growing demand for various healthcare products will significantly influence hydrogel dressing market growth in Germany.

Over 26% of the market’s growth will originate from Germany during the forecast period. Market growth in this region will be faster than the growth of the market in France.

Hydrogel Dressing Market in Europe: Segmentation by Product

Amorphous hydrogel dressings are free-flowing, provide excellent stability, exudate absorption properties, allow the controlled delivery of moisture, and can fill deep wounds having irregular contours. The easy availability, increasing prevalence of deep wounds, and rising awareness about the clinical benefits of amorphous hydrogel dressings are some of the factors fueling the growth of the hydrogel dressings market in this segment.

Market growth in this segment will be faster than the growth of the market in the impregnated hydrogel dressings and hydrogel sheet dressings segments. This report provides an accurate prediction of the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the hydrogel dressing market size in Europe.

Hydrogel Dressing Market in Europe: Key Drivers and Trends

The strong prevalence of pressure ulcers will be a significant factor in driving the growth of the hydrogel dressing market in Europe. People who are bed-ridden for a long time are highly prone to pressure ulcers caused due to continuous pressure on the skin. The prevalence of pressure ulcers is especially high among hospitalized patients. The rising geriatric population who suffer from incontinence and other disease co-morbidities will also increase the prevalence of pressure ulcers. With rising prevalence of pressure ulcers in the elderly population and hospitalized patients in Europe, the demand for appropriate protective aids for treatment, such as hydrogel dressings, will also increase.

• The mechanical cutting and debridement required during dressing changes can cause pain, traumatize newly formed tissues, and delay the wound healing process, especially burn injuries.
• Researchers are focusing on the development of novel and effective strategies, such as self-dissolvable dressings that facilitate wound healing.
• Hydrogels can help in tissue adhesion, water absorption, and dissolve on-demand through physical or chemical reactions.
• The advances in on-demand dissolvable hydrogel dressings, which is one of the critical hydrogel dressing market trends, will lead to novel mechanisms of dissolution and thereby widen the applications of hydrogel dressings.
• During 2020-2024, the hydrogel dressing market will grow at a CAGR of over 6%.
