Market Overview

Burn care is a medical treatment for injuries to the skin or other tissues caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, radiation, or friction. Burns can range from minor, superficial wounds to severe, life-threatening injuries that affect multiple layers of tissue. Effective burn care promotes healing, reduces scarring, and avoids complications like infections. The treatment process usually begins with determining the burn's extent and depth, often classified as first-degree, second-degree, or third-degree burns. First-degree burns only affect the skin's outer layer, whereas second-degree burns penetrate deeper, causing blistering and severe pain. Third-degree burns are the most severe, involving all layers of the skin and occasionally underlying tissues, resulting in nerve damage and loss of sensation. Initial treatment consists of cooling the burn, cleaning the wound, and applying appropriate dressings to protect the area. Pain management is an important aspect of burn care, as is using topical ointments or antibiotics to prevent infection. In more severe cases, surgical procedures such as skin grafting may be required to repair the damaged skin. Long-term care frequently includes physical therapy and rehabilitation to restore function and mobility, as well as psychological support to help patients deal with the emotional consequences of their injuries.

Market Segmentation

The global burn care market share is classified into product, depth of burn, and cause.

• The advanced dressing segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global burn care market during the forecast period.   

Based on the product, the global burn care market is categorized into advanced dressing, biologics, traditional burn care products, and others. Among these, the advanced dressing segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global burn care market during the forecast period. This is due to the wide product range and extensive application in wound management, which includes a diverse range of advanced dressings such as collagen, alginate, hydrocolloid, foam, hydrogel, film, and other advanced dressing products. Also, advanced products like ConvaTec's FoamLite foam dressing, which can be used on a variety of low to heavy exuding wounds, help to drive industry growth.

• The full thickness burns segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period.  

Based on the depth of burn, the global burn care market is categorized into minor burns, partial thickness burns, and full thickness burns. Among these, the full-thickness burns segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report published in October 2023, burns kill approximately 180,000 people each year. The burn care market growth is accelerated by the increasing efforts of both governmental and non-governmental organizations focused on burn care treatments.

• The thermal burns segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. 

Based on the cause, the global burn care market is categorized into thermal burns, electrical burns, radiation burns, chemical burns, and friction burns. Among these, the thermal burns segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. According to the American Burn Association (ABA), fire-related burns make up 44.0% of all admissions to burn centers. Scald injuries, which occur when the skin comes into contact with hot liquids or gases, are another common cause of burns. These injuries frequently happen during routine activities such as bathing, where exposure to excessively hot tap water can cause significant damage. Also, scalds can result from accidental contact with boiling cooking oil, steam from pots and kettles, or hot beverages like coffee and tea. Thermal burns can be particularly severe, often affecting large areas of the body, and are a major reason for hospital visits, especially among vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly.
