Market Growth is Driven by the Increasing Prevalence of Chronic Wounds Globally
The rising incidence of chronic wounds, evolving technology, and the growing need for individualized healthcare solutions are the main drivers of the global market for smart bandages. The World Health Organization reports that as the prevalence of chronic illnesses including diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases rises, so does the population with chronic wounds. In addition, as the world's population ages, problems, such as diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers are becoming more common, which encourages the development of more sophisticated wound care products.
Surging Issues Related to Variability in Performance and Sensor Precision to Hamper Market Growth Globally
As irregular readings can jeopardize wound assessment and clinical decision-making, performance variability and sensor precision continue to be major challenges for smart bandages. Inaccurate data collection is frequently caused by variables such sensor drift, moisture interference, temperature changes, and variations in wound settings. Reliability is further impacted by the bandage's materials, patient mobility, and calibration problems.
