Adhesive Bandages Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The growing number of surgical procedures is notably driving the adhesive bandages market growth, although factors such as the availability of substitutes may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the adhesive bandages industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Adhesive Bandages Market Driver
- One of the key drivers supporting the adhesive bandages market growth is the growing number of surgical procedures.
- There is a growing prevalence of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases, worldwide.
- According to the data provided by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), in 2021, approximately 537 million adults in the age group of 20-80 years were diagnosed with diabetes globally.
- If diabetes is not managed properly, complications arising due to it can require corrective surgeries. These include amputation due to diabetic foot, treatment of diabetic ulcers, vitrectomy for treating diabetic retinopathy, and bariatric surgery.
- Adhesive bandages are beneficial in managing diabetic ulcers. Thus, with the increasing prevalence of diabetes, the demand for adhesive bandages is likely to increase during the forecast period.
Key Adhesive Bandages Market Trend
- One of the key adhesive bandages market trends fueling the market growth is the growing demand for adhesive bandages from ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs).
- ASCs are found in most developed countries such as the US, Canada, the UK, France, and Germany, which have modern hospital facilities and provide same-day surgical care.
- ASCs benefit the patients with cost-effective surgeries, which can be performed in a shorter duration. Patients can have their surgeries done in a fully equipped operating room.
- More than 90% of ASCs report three or fewer infections per 1,000 patient encounters. Such studies show that the quality of care delivered in ASCs is equally good compared to hospital care. This, in turn, will positively impact the adhesive bandages market growth during the forecast period.
Key Adhesive Bandages Market Challenge
- One of the challenges impeding the adhesive bandages market growth is the availability of substitutes.
- Substitutes for adhesive bandages comprise film dressing, hydrogel, foam, and alginate dressing. These dressings are in direct contact with the wound.
- Film dressings are made of a thin polyurethane membrane and are coated on one side with an acrylic adhesive. These are used to cover and protect catheter sites and wounds.
- Transparent film dressings are widely used for covering wounds as they enable visualization of the wound and minimize unnecessary dressing changes. These are polymer membranes that are coated on one side with an adhesive.
- Hydrogels are hydrophilic, three-dimensional (3D) polymer networks that can imbibe large amounts of water. These are used in biomedical applications such as tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Such available substitutes may hinder the adhesive bandages market growth during the forecast period.
This adhesive bandages market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.

Medicated cohesive fabric bandages adhere to themselves and not the skin or hair of the user. These are latex-free, water-resistant, and hand-tearable and leave no glue residuals after removal. These factors of medicated bandages will drive the adhesive bandages market growth during the forecast period.
