Global Burn Care Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Burn Care Market Analysis

The burn care market is projected to register a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period.

COVID-19 significantly impacted the burn care market due to the strict regulations on the burn care industry. For instance, according to an NCBI research study published in November 2021, the study was conducted in over 43 countries and reported that burn surgeons were still present during the epidemic, but anesthetists, dedicated nursing personnel, and the ability to manage patients of all ages were decreased which affected the burn care market. Similarly, according to Elsevier's research study, published in November 2021, the pandemic has made it even harder to provide burn care in India; emergency services were occasionally interrupted, regular and surgical services were rationally reduced, and follow-up and rehabilitation services were most adversely impacted. Thus, the severe impact on the burn care market during the initial stages of the pandemic significantly affected the growth of the market. However, with the resumption of burn care management during the post-pandemic period after the relaxation of the strict lockdown regulations, the market is expected to gain traction during the forecast period.

Factors such as the increasing incidence of burn injuries worldwide are expected to boost the demand for burn care, ultimately boosting the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to an NCBI research study published in March 2022, about 1 million cases of moderate to extreme burn injury requiring rest and high-quality medical care are recorded annually in India. Similarly, according to another NCBI research study published in August 2021, the first-degree burn prevalence was 12.8%, second-degree burn prevalence was 71.1%, and third-degree burn prevalence was 16.1%, and the most frequent causes, locations, and types of treatment were hot water injuries (36.1%), upper limbs (62.2%), and skin debridement, respectively. Hence, the high burden of burn injuries is expected to drive the demand for burn care products and, thus, fuel growth in the burn care market over the forecast period.

Furthermore, the rising product approvals are further expected to increase the availability of safe and effective products and their adoption, which is expected to impact the growth of the studied market significantly. For instance, in June 2021, the United States FDA approved StrataGraft for treating adult patients with thermal burns containing intact dermal elements (remaining deep skin layers) for which surgical intervention is clinically indicated. Therefore, rising burn injuries and increasing product approvals are expected to boost the market's growth over the forecast period. However, the high cost associated with burn care treatment is expected to limit the growth of the burn care market during the forecast period.
