Market Size: Chronic Wound Market Segment to Hold the Largest Share of the Market

The global AI in wound care market size is currently estimated to be worth $ 1.4 billion. Further, the piqued interest of stakeholders in artificial intelligence and the demand for advanced technologies is likely to drive growth of this market. Specifically, in terms of type of wound, the market is anticipated to be driven by chronic wounds. 

The recent and planned launch of platforms will help drive the market growth. In October 2024, Swift Medical launched Skin & Wound 2 AI-powered digital wound care platform available both as a mobile app or web dashboard. Spectral AI (US) is on track with its plans for file for FDA De Novo submission in H1 2025 for its DeepView™ System for burn indication.

Regional Analysis: North America Emerged as the Hub of AI in Wound Care

Majority of the AI-powered solution providers are headquartered in North America and Asia-Pacific. Notably, the global AI in wound care market in 2035 is anticipated to be dominated by players based in North America, while 18% share is anticipated to be captured by players based in Asia-Pacific attributing to the fact that various stakeholders in this region are evolving with the implementation of AI in their offerings.

In addition, the estimates suggest that by 2060, the elderly population in the United States is expected to exceed 77 million and this projected demographic shift implies that chronic wounds will continue to be a persistent problem within this population. Further, it is worth highlighting that the US Medicare beneficiaries spend close to $ 95 billion annually for the treatment of chronic wounds, including surgical wounds and diabetic ulcers due to the upsurge of chronic wounds. Moreover, over the past decade, the growing financial burden of wound care management on Medicare (US government health insurance program) has had a significant impact on the overall healthcare sector (resulted in reduced funding for healthcare providers and services), as the growing financial burden may culminate in limited access to care, longer wait times, and potentially lower quality of care.
