The U.S. wound care centers market was valued at USD 13.8 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow to USD 20.2 billion by 2030. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.10% between 2023 and 2030. The market growth is primarily driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic non-healing wounds among the elderly and the rising demand for wound care services. According to an article by UpToDate, Inc., approximately 1 to 2 per 100,000 people in the U.S. suffer from chronic non-healing wounds. Additionally, the adoption of advanced technologies in wound care procedures and dressings is expected to further accelerate market expansion. Research published in Advances in Wound Care highlights that chronic wounds are most frequently observed in the geriatric population.

Open wounds affect around 3% of Americans over 65 years old. The U.S. government forecasts that the elderly population will surpass 77 million by 2060, indicating that chronic wounds will remain a significant health issue in this demographic. Chronic wounds are estimated to impact 2% of the U.S. population. The rise in diabetes cases and diabetic foot ulcers is anticipated to increase demand for effective wound care solutions, supporting industry growth. The University of California reports diabetes as the leading cause of nontraumatic lower extremity amputation in the U.S., with 14-24% of diabetic patients with foot ulcers undergoing amputation.

Moreover, the International Diabetes Federation Diabetes Atlas 2022 notes that there were 32,215,000 diabetes cases in the U.S. in 2021, projected to rise to 36,289,000 by 2045. To meet this growing demand, wound care centers are conducting awareness campaigns and integrating new technologies. For example, Mariners Hospital, part of Baptist Health South Florida, added hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to its services in November 2019. Such initiatives are expected to boost demand by enhancing awareness and enabling faster, more precise treatment through advanced technology adoption.
