According to a new report from Intel Market Research, the global Bedsore Wound Dressing market was valued at USD 713 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 913 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period (2025–2031). This growth is driven by increasing geriatric populations, rising prevalence of chronic diseases requiring prolonged bed rest, and advancements in wound care technologies.
What are Bedsore Wound Dressings?
Bedsore wound dressings are specialized medical products designed for treating and managing pressure ulcers (bedsores). These dressings work by maintaining an optimal moist wound environment, absorbing excess exudate, and protecting the area from bacterial infections. Their unique breathability and flexibility make them suitable for wounds of varying sizes and depths, significantly improving patient comfort and accelerating the healing process.
