Wound management is about as diverse a market as there can be in medtech. Wounds can be acute or chronic, surgically created or arising from trauma or disease, treated with technology as simple as a piece of gauze or as complex as a hyperbaric oxygen chamber or negative pressure would therapy technology. The manufacturers range from producers of largely commodity-like dressings to devices to equipment to growth factors and other biotech products.

Wound management is about as diverse a market as there can be in medtech. Wounds can be acute or chronic, surgically created or arising from trauma or disease, treated with technology as simple as a piece of gauze or as complex as a hyperbaric oxygen chamber or negative pressure would therapy technology. The manufacturers range from producers of largely commodity-like dressings to devices to equipment to growth factors and other biotech products.

Simultaneously, the nature of patient populations, clinical practices, market development, economics and technology adoption vary widely around the world, resulting in considerable variation in the sales of traditional products all the way up through the most advanced products in wound management.

As an example, below are illustrations of the 2011 to 2020 forecast for the range of wound management products in the U.S. and a different set of markets, the Rest of Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan and Korea); predominantly China, India and Australia.

The distribution of product sales in wound management, on a relative basis, is very different in the U.S. than in the Rest of Asia/Pacific due in large part to the tendency for advanced technologies to be first introduced in well developed markets, like the U.S., Europe, Japan and others and later migrated to the “emerging” markets. T

The U.S. graph illustrates the decreasing/increasing share of each technology’s sales relative to all others.

For the Rest of Asia/Pacific Market, a different picture emerges, with interesting variations per product segment.

However, to put the relative differences into a meaningful context, one has to look at the absolute sales in the different markets. And, to show the very real, stark difference between the U.S. and Rest of Asia/Pacific markets for wound management products, we have plotted both on the same scale, with the max given for both as $12,000 million in sales.

I serve the interests of medical technology company decision-makers, venture-capitalists, and others with interests in medtech producing worldwide analyses of medical technology markets for my audience of mostly medical technology companies (but also rapidly growing audience of biotech, VC, and other healthcare decision-makers). I have a small staff and go to my industry insiders (or find new ones as needed) to produce detailed, reality-grounded analyses of current and potential markets and opportunities. I am principally interested in those core clinical applications served by medical devices, which are expanding to include biomaterials, drug-device hybrids and other non-device technologies either competing head-on with devices or being integrated with devices in product development. The effort and pain of making every analysis global in scope is rewarded by my audience's loyalty, since in the vast majority of cases they too have global scope in their businesses.Specialties: Business analysis through syndicated reports, and select custom engagements, on medical technology applications and markets in general/abdominal/thoracic surgery, interventional cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, patient monitoring/management, wound management, cell therapy, tissue engineering, gene therapy, nanotechnology, and others.
