The wetting agents segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Basic types of wound irrigation solutions, known as wetting agents, are commonly used for purposes such as removing foreign contaminants, dead mass, and cellular fluid from the wound surface, residues from topical medication for wound care, and for washing deep cuts and visceral wounds. Besides cleaning the wound, the main purpose of wetting agents is to promote wound hydration and easily facilitate wound examination.

The wetting agents segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 164.80 million in 2018. The basic wetting agents are a simple saline solution, povidone-iodine mixture, or hydrogen peroxide solution, which is poured continuously or intermittently onto the wound using syringes or other devices. They are used in large quantities in medical settings to hydrate wounds but have been found to have significantly low household adoption. This is due to the widespread use of potable or distilled water and homemade saline solutions at the user level. Thus, such factors will drive the growth of the segment during the forecast period.

North America is estimated to contribute 38% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. Wound irrigation solutions play a crucial role in medical techniques for managing and preventing infections in various healthcare settings, including clinics and hospitals. With an aging population, obesity, diabetes, and vascular disease on the rise, the need for effective wound care products is increasingly important. Infection control is a top priority, as infections can lead to significant complications and prolonged healing times. Traditional medicine practices have long utilized wound irrigation for cleansing surgical incisions and treating chronic wounds. The battery-operated segment of wound irrigation solutions has gained popularity due to its ease of use and portability. In healthcare settings, these devices help reduce the risk of infection by ensuring thorough wound cleansing. Wound irrigation solutions are essential for managing infections in patients with diabetes, obesity, and other conditions that increase the risk of wound complications. As medical care continues to evolve, the demand for advanced wound irrigation solutions will persist.
Wound irrigation is a crucial medical technique used in the care of open wound surfaces to remove bacteria, cellular debris, and residue to prevent infection and promote healing. The global market is driven by the increasing prevalence of infectious diseases, chronic wounds, and acute wounds. Patients and caregivers require effective wound irrigation solutions to manage infection risks and ensure infection control. Open wounds are susceptible to bacterial infections, making the use of wound irrigation solutions essential. These solutions help in visual examination of the wound, ensuring thorough cleaning and removal of debris. In healthcare settings, including clinics and hospitals, wound irrigation solutions play a vital role in medical care.
The aging population, obesity, and diabetes are significant factors contributing to the growth of the wound irrigation market. The use of advanced technologies such as nanotechnology and biomaterials in wound irrigation solutions is gaining popularity due to their ability to enhance infection control and promote faster healing. Chronic wounds, such as diabetic ulcers and pressure ulcers, require regular wound irrigation to prevent infection and promote healing. Acute wounds, including surgical wounds, also require proper irrigation to minimize the risk of infection and ensure optimal healing. In summary, the market is expected to grow significantly due to the increasing prevalence of wounds, the need for effective infection control, and the use of advanced technologies in wound care.
The increasing volume of surgical procedures is the key driver for the growth of the market. Surgical procedures are medical interventions that create a small incision or wound where surgery is performed on the patient's body. The increasing incidence of cardiovascular, orthopedic, gynecological, general, and ophthalmic surgery subsequently increases the need for these solutions as they are designed to support the wound and act on the edge of the wound tissue by closing the tissue together, particularly in cases of traumatic events, road accidents, and autoimmune diseases.
Furthermore, in September 2022, the CDC reported that more than 877,500 people in the US die each year from stroke, heart disease, or other cardiovascular diseases. In such cases, multiple surgeries are performed, which stimulates the use of this system. An increasing number of chronic diseases will lead to surgical procedures, which is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period, along with factors such as fatal motor vehicle crashes, antimicrobial resistance, and the work of organizations like the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the Highway Loss Data Institute.
The growing incidence of chronic and lifestyle-related diseases is the key trend in the market. Due to changing lifestyles and the rising incidence of chronic diseases, there is an increase in the number of surgeries which is a major factor driving the growth of the market. In the US, the incidence of chronic wounds is expected to increase with the aging population. Lifestyle diseases make it difficult to heal and in many cases are made worse by infection. Lifestyle changes such as eating a lot of fatty acids and sugary foods cause diseases like diabetes, which can lead to ulcers.
Moreover, with the increase in R&D activities, the efficiency of healthcare services has increased dramatically and treatments for chronic diseases and wounds are becoming more precise through the use of advanced equipment. One of those products is a wound irrigation solution that is widely used in surgery and in the treatment of burns. Hence, the increasing prevalence of chronic and lifestyle-related diseases will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Intense price competition among companies operating in the market affects market growth. Since product differences between individual suppliers are small or insignificant, the only competitive point that remains relevant is pricing strategy. This has prompted many suppliers to offer these systems at lower prices than their competitors, thereby increasing competition. It has also encouraged major suppliers to use low-pricing strategies to maintain market share and expand reach.
Moreover, many international suppliers also face high threats from regional and local suppliers. Domestic pharmaceutical companies in countries such as India and China have started to introduce chemically similar solutions, which are priced lower than the big brands. This significantly affects the growth of the market which in turn will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
