Insights, By Product Type: Increasing demand for wound care management productsProduct Type segment is sub-segmented into wound care consumables, blood and dialysis consumables, drug delivery products, incontinence products, disposable gloves, others. Wound care consumables sub-segment is estimated to hold 29.3% of the market share in 2024, owing to the inherent convenience these offer for wound treatment. Disposable wound care products such as bandages, tapes and gauzes allow for one-time application and easy disposal, thus, preventing infection risks associated with reuse of materials. Their peel-and-stick usability and good absorption capacity makes wound cleaning and dressing simpler for both patients and clinicians. This has become increasingly important as more treatment shifts to home and outpatient settings. Growing prevalence of chronic wounds like pressure ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers boosts demand.

Raw Material segment is sub-segmented into rubber, glass, metals, plastic, others. Rubber sub-segment is estimated to hold 26.9% of the market share in 2024 owing to its ideal properties for medical devices and clinical use. Being durable yet flexible, rubber is widely used to manufacture gloves, tubes, stoppers and other items that require a good combination of strength and elasticity. Natural and synthetic rubbers effectively create protective barriers against liquids and particles, making them suitable for examination and surgical gloves. These also serve as cushioning materials in products like catheters, bulbs and connectors. Rubber's high tensile strength and resistance to wear and tear ensure product integrity through repetitive use. Its non-porous surface does not support microbial growth, protecting against infection.
Insights, By End User: Role of hospitals as healthcare hubs
End User segment is sub-segmented into hospitals, home healthcare, others. Hospitals sub-segment is estimated to hold 32.4% of the market share in 2024, owing to their central function in healthcare delivery and management of complex cases and emergencies.
