The outbreak of COVID-19 has created large-scale opportunities for local manufacturers. Due to the restrictions on movement at international borders, the supply chain of major players has been disrupted. This has created an opportunity for local players to enter the market and meet the unmet demands of the end-users. The rising number of cases has led to a shortage of medical supplies; thus, local players are manufacturing products on a larger scale to meet the growing need. Moreover, to enhance their foothold in the market, key companies are adopting various plans and policies to gain a higher market share.

Technological advancements are projected to have a significant impact on the advanced wound care industry in the coming years. The quality of life of patients suffering from chronic wounds improves as technology advances and becomes more affordable. Traditional wound care and closure products are gradually being replaced by advanced wound care closure products due to their efficacy and effectiveness in wound management by allowing quicker healing.
