(PRWEB) April 21, 2007 -- Piribo, the online destination for business intelligence for the biotech and pharmaceutical industry, has just added to its collection a key market report on advanced wound care products entitled, "The Global Market for Advanced Wound Care Products 2007."
The report, at www.piribo.com/search/results.html?k=esp991&x=4&y=11, estimated that the global wound care market was worth US$7.2 billion in 2006, and comprises two sectors, traditional and advanced.
The advanced wound care segment encompasses a wide range of disparate technologies that fall into three main categories:
| | - Moist wound dressings (hydrogels, hydrocolloids, alginates, foams and transparent films);
- Antimicrobial dressings which deliver substances such as silver to the wound;
- Biological products such as skin substitutes, tissue-engineered products and growth factors.
|
The US$4.1 billion global advanced wound care segment is the fastest growing area with double-digit growth of 10% per year. This growth is being driven by an ageing population, the rise in the incidence of diabetes worldwide and a steady advancement in technology and products that are more clinically efficient and cost effective than their conventional counterparts.
The 280 page report examines the sector by technology type and assesses the competing products, it also provides 75 company profiles which examine financial performance or funding, identifies key alliances and looks at research and product portfolios.
