South Africa Wound Care Management Market Analysis

The South Africa Wound Care Management Market size is estimated at USD 48.75 million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 67.58 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.75% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The spread of COVID-19 profoundly affected medical practices in South Africa resulting in a decrease in necessary medical care and thus impacting South Africa's wound care management market. For instance, an article published by the journal, Dove Press in October 2022, reported that the government restrictions in South-Western Uganda during the COVID-19 pandemic led to the restriction of certain hospital services that have contributed to the delay in wound healing services in the hospitals, that caused complications to the people living with diabetic foot ulcers. Thus, initially, the market was impacted due to reduced services in many wound care clinics and many chronic wound patients had relied on home care, but the significant decline in COVID-19 cases and ease in government regularizations led to the resumption of services in wound care clinics in South Africa. The market is expected to regain its growth pace over the next 4-5 years.

The factors that are driving the growth of the studied market are the increasing demand for faster recovery of wounds, the rising incidence of chronic wounds, and an increase in the number of surgeries. For instance, an article published by Research Square in October 2021, reported that South Africa has the highest number of people living with diabetes in Africa, accounting for about 4.6 million and this number is expected to increase to about 46 million by 2045. The article also reported the yearly incidence of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) in South Africa was 2%. Thus, increasing diabetes cases are leading to increasing DFU cases, and that is propelling the demand for wound care management, thereby driving the growth of the studied market.

The increase in the number of surgeries in South African hospitals is driving the growth of the studied market. For instance, news published by the African Ministry of Health, in July 2022, reported that the Western Cape recorded the high number of surgeries about 77,139 surgeries followed by Gauteng with 13,433 surgeries. Thus, a high incidence of surgeries is increasing the demand for wound care management, thereby driving the growth of the studied market.

Furthermore, the new initiatives by healthcare organizations in the country are also contributing to the development of this market. For instance, in November 2021, The PINC AI Applied Sciences (PAS) team, and Mölnlycke, reported the initiation of a clinical trial to evaluate the value of hospital-wide patient bathing and the impact of specialized protocol training, education, and compliance auditing on reducing hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), and practicing good wound care practices. Thus, such developments are expected to drive the growth of the studied market.

Thus, due to the increasing demand for faster recovery of wounds and rising incidence of chronic wounds, and an increase in the number of surgeries, the studied market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. However, the high cost of procedures and lack of proper reimbursements may slow down the growth of the studied market.
