The Latin America, Middle East and Africa Moist Wound Dressings Market would witness market growth of 8.4% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030). In the year 2026, the LAMEA market’s volume is expected to surge to 107.8 million Units, showcasing a growth of 9.3% (2023-2030).
Excessive moisture in a moist wound dressing can harm the surrounding normal epidermis. Excessive humidity can promote the proliferation of yeast and fungi. Therefore, more absorbent wound dressing material must be applied to control excessive wound fluid. These factors are anticipated to restrain market demand during the forecast period. Moisturized wound dressing promotes re-epithelialization, thereby minimizing scar formation. The moist environment also mitigates the wound’s inflammatory response, limiting the wound’s progression or injury. With moist wound dressing, wound healing requires less time because the body can focus on healing the lesion rather than protecting it.
Moisture captures endogenous proteolytic enzymes to accelerate the healing process. A hypoxic environment that decreases pH promotes angiogenesis and renders the wound area inhospitable to bacteria, reducing the risk of infection. Therefore, moist wound dressing is famous for rapid healing, as it promotes vapor transmission and facilitates autolytic debridement. These factors are anticipated to increase the market share during the forecast period.
Healthcare professionals in Latin America have received more training and education on wound care, including the proper use of moist wound dressings. Increased knowledge among healthcare providers can lead to better patient outcomes. Latin American countries have continued to strengthen their regulatory frameworks for medical devices, including moist wound dressings, to ensure product safety and efficacy. Additionally, the highest age-adjusted prevalence was documented in the MENA, reaching 12.2%, where 1 in 8 adults was living with diabetes. Periodically, the WHO provides country-specific diabetes prevalence rates compiled from numerous studies. Due to these factors, the market will boost in this region.
