Global Digital Wound Measurement Devices
Market Research Report, by Wound Type (Diabetic Ulcers, Incisional, Traumatic,
Chronic), Product (Contact Wounds, Non-Contact Wound Measuring Devices),
End-User (Hospital and Clinics) – Global Forecast Till 2023
Market Scenario
The global digital
wound measurement devices market is expected to witness a positive
growth during the forecast period. Digital wound measurement devices enable
monitoring of chronic wounds and deliver the appropriate drug dose to speed up
the process of healing. Chronic wounds if not treated on time can lead to severe
infections and amputations. Hence, digital wound measurement devices allow
delivering tailored treatments after the 2D or 3D assessment of the infection
and inflammation. The increasing number of patients suffering from chronic
wounds drives the market growth. According to the Intermountain Healthcare
(2017), 6.5 million people in the US suffer from chronic wounds. Diabetic
wounds are severe, and the process of healing is very long and eventually may
lead to amputations. Hence factors such as growing diabetic patients, rising
geriatric population, and an increasing number of surgeries are major factors
influencing the growth of the market. The emergence of smartphones, rapid use
of advanced digital tools, and the advent of telehealth for wound care will also
contribute for the market to grow.
However, factors such as, the inability of the
device to provide additional information about wounds such as moistness or
exudation and high costs of digital devices are expected to restrict the market
growth during the forecast period.

Segmentation
The global digital wound measurement
devices market is segmented on the basis of wound type, product, and end-user.
The digital wound measurement devices market, by wound type is sub-segmented
into a diabetic ulcer, chronic wounds, burns, incisional, and traumatic. The
product segment is sub-segmented into contact wound measuring devices and
non-contact wound measuring devices.
On the basis of end-user, the market is
segmented into hospitals, clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers.
On the basis of region, the global
digital wound measurement devices market is segmented into the Americas,
Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa.
The Americas is sub-segmented into North
America and South America. The North American region is further segmented into
the US and Canada. The European region is divided into two, namely, Western
Europe and Eastern Europe. Western Europe is further classified into Germany,
Italy, France, the UK, Spain, and the rest of Western Europe. The Asia-Pacific
region is sub-segmented into Japan, China, India, Australia, the Republic of
Korea, and the rest of Asia-Pacific. The Middle Eastern and African region is
sub-segmented into the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar,
and the rest of the Middle East and Africa.
Regional Market
Asia-Pacific was projected to be the
fastest growing region for the global digital wound measurement devices market.
Key factors such as rising geriatric population, growing diabetic patient pool,
high incidence chronic wounds, and developing healthcare infrastructure drive
the market in this region. According to the Asian Diabetes Prevention
Initiative, 60% of the world diabetic population is in Asia. This provides
favorable backgrounds for the market to grow in Asia.
The digital wound measurement devices
market is dominated by North America owing to the rising prevalence of chronic
wounds and technological advancements in the healthcare sector. In June
2018, KCI, an Acelity Company announced the launch of Nurse2Nurse (N2N) Mobile
App for wound care nurses. The app allows interactions with clinicians and
shares credible insights and information for better patient care.
It is estimated that Europe was the
second largest in the global digital wound measurement devices market. The
increasing technological advancement and research for wound care along with
government support in Europe drive the market growth in this region. The
European Wound Management Association will conduct its 29th conference by June
2019 in Gothenburg, Sweden in the presence of several international wound
management communities with the common goal of improving the care of wound
patients.
The Middle East and Africa holds the
least share of the global digital wound measurement devices market due to the
presence of stringent government policies and poor economic growth. However,
growing awareness and increasing investments by private market players in this
region can boost the market growth.
