Digital Wound Measurement Devices Market 2021-2026: Research Report Size, Share And Trends

The global digital wound measurement devices market was worth $12000 thousand in 2019 and is expected to reach $ billion by 2023, rising at a CAGR of 5 percent between 2019 and 2027. Digital wound measurement devices are electronic tools or smart devices that can be connected to the internet and used to measure, image, and document wounds. The spike in the senior population and the high incidence of chronic illnesses such as diabetes are two main reasons driving the worldwide digital wound measurement devices market forward.

Furthermore, the advantages of these devices, such as accurate wound assessment to check healing progress, are propelling the market forward. However, several drawbacks of these devices, such as their inability to provide wound information such as moistness or exudation, limit market expansion.

A High Incidence of Chronic Illness

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus has increased significantly, according to data issued by Effective Health Care Program. Diabetes mellitus affects more than 23 million people in the United States, and it is anticipated to affect 300 million and 360 million people globally by 2025 and 2030, respectively. According to the same study, roughly 1-4 percent of diabetic people get a one-foot ulcer each year. More than half of all foot ulcers get infected, and 20% result in amputation of the lower extremities (LEA). In addition, venous leg ulcers are becoming more common in the United States, with around 600,000 people affected each year.

Geriatric Population Growth

According to research provided by the United States Census Bureau, the population of the United States is expected to expand by 27 percent from 314 million in 2012 to 400 million in 2050.

Furthermore, between 2012 and 2050, the United States' elderly population is predicted to expand significantly. As a result of the growing elderly population, the incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes is likely to rise, which would have a corresponding impact on the digital wound measurement equipment market.
