Recent Developments in Adhesive Bandages Market:
-
In May 2022- 3M launched its newest medical adhesive, the 3M Spunlace Extended Wear Adhesive Tape on Liner, for extended-wear devices which requires attachment to the skin for up to a 21-days wear duration.
The increasing trend for outdoor activities, such as trekking, cycling, and running among children and teenagers, and several other factors, are contributing to the growth of the adhesive bandages market. The need for quick and effective wound care solutions has led to a surge in the adoption of adhesive bandages. Moreover, the rising prevalence of physical fitness and sports has resulted in a higher incidence of sports-related injuries, further propelling the market. Additionally, the growing elderly population and the prevalence of chronic wounds such as foot ulcers and pressure ulcers in aging individuals create a significant need for wound management products, including adhesive bandages. Furthermore, the availability of alternatives such as alginate dressings, hydrogel, foam, and film dressings is one of the significant impeding factors for the growth of the adhesive bandages market. These alternative wound care products offer specialized features and benefits, such as improved moisture retention, better conformability to wound contours, enhanced breathability, and advanced healing properties. As healthcare providers seek more efficient and effective solutions for wound management, the increasing adoption of these alternatives is expected to obstruct the overall adoption and market expansion of adhesive bandages.
