Pressure Ulcer Relief Product Sales Analysis (2017-2021) in Comparison to Market Growth Forecasts (2022-2026)

Over the past few years, the world has witnessed a notable rise in the rate of hospitalizations and an increase in the aging population. Increasing hospitalization has given rise to the high incidence of Hospital-acquired Pressure Ulcers (HAPUs) and this is expected to prominently drive the pressure ulcer relief products market potential over the coming years.

The global pressure ulcer relief products market as per this Fact.MR survey is predicted to progress at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2022 to 2026.

Longer duration of hospital stays due to increasing complexity in treatments puts patients more at the risk of contracting HAPUs and as their incidence increases, the demand for their rapid treatment is also expected to rise.

Moreover, a rise in the geriatric population is also expected to positively impact the demand for pressure ulcer relief products. This can be attributed to the high prevalence of disorders such as diabetes, dementia, and urinary incontinence among these aging individuals. Their fragile skin and low vascularization coupled with low cell proliferation also make them more prone to pressure ulcers and hence drive up pressure ulcer relief product shipments.

Rising obesity, increasing healthcare expenditure, high prevalence of obesity, rising medical tourism, supportive government initiatives, and increasing focus on improving patient outcomes are other factors that are expected to propel the consumption of pressure ulcer relief products through 2026.

However, the absence of proper reimbursement policies and high costs of pressure ulcer relief devices are factors that could potentially restrain pressure ulcer relief product demand across the forecast period.

What’s Augmenting Pressure Ulcer Relief Product Demand?

“Increasing Prevalence of HAPUs across the World”

Hospital-acquired pressure ulcers (HAPUs) have witnessed an upsurge over the past few years owing to rising hospitalization and prolonged hospital stays.

Hospital stays have increased owing to the rising complexity of treatment procedures and lack of mobility in hospital care settings has resulted in a high incidence of HAPUs which is expected to subsequently drive pressure ulcer relief products market potential over the coming years.

What Could Restrain Pressure Ulcer Relief Product Sales?

“Lack of Reimbursement for Pressure Ulcer Treatment”

The absence of a defined reimbursement for pressure ulcer treatments by health insurance providers is expected to have a hindering effect on the overall pressure ulcer relief products demand throughout the forecast period. Health insurance companies do not cover pressure ulcer treatments which leads to high costs incurred at the patient’s end and hence, results in lower patients opting for pressure ulcer treatments.

“Expensive Pressure Ulcer Relief Equipment”

The pressure relief devices market is projected to be adversely impacted by the high costs of pressure ulcer treatment products. This factor leads to lower adoption of pressure sore relief products as they incur high costs to healthcare providers as well as the patients.

These factors make the pressure ulcer relief treatment unaffordable and hence, result in slowing down the sales of pressure ulcer relief products.
