Diabetic Ulcers Treatment Market size was valued at USD 8.99 billion in 2024 and is expected to cross USD 18.66 billion by the end of 2037, expanding at more than 5.9% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of diabetic ulcers treatment is estimated at USD 9.41 billion.
A growing number of people being diagnosed with diabetes worldwide is the primary factor for the market's growth. In 2019, diabetes caused 1.5 million deaths directly, with 48% of fatalities occurring before 70 years of age, according to the World Health Organization. The American Diabetes Association reported that nearly 37.3 million Americans, or 11.3% of the population, have diabetes. A total of 28.7 million of them are diagnosed, whilst 8.5 million remain undiagnosed. Diabetes is one of the common diseases that can affect people at a younger age. Moreover, increasing obesity issues, genetics, unhealthy diet habits, and urbanization are some of the reasons for the increase in diabetes risk.
The most common type of diabetic ulcer is a foot ulcer which is an open sore or wound and occurs in approximately 15 percent of diabetic patients. A foot ulcer is commonly found on the bottom of the foot. Six percent of those who develop a foot ulcer will require hospitalization for infection or other ulcer-related complications. The treatment for diabetic ulcers involves debriding the wound, treating any infection, revascularizing the area, and off-loading the area. Furthermore, growing awareness of treatment options for diabetic ulcers, improvements in treatment procedures, the approval of new products, and increasing research and development expenditure are projected to drive market growth over the forecast period. According to a recent report by the World Bank, global research and development expenditures are expected to be 2.63 percent of the country's total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2020. The growth is considerably higher than 2.2% in 2018.

Ulcer Type (Foot, Mouth, Other Ulcer)
The global diabetic ulcers treatment market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by ulcer type into foot ulcer, mouth ulcer, and others. Among these segments, the foot ulcer segment is anticipated to capture the largest market size owing to the rapidly growing number of people around the world who are experiencing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). A diabetic foot ulcer is a very serious condition in diabetic patients, as the immunity power and wound healing process are compromised in these people. The wound is even prone to get infectious over time if proper medications are not taken. For instance, every year, it is estimated that 9 to 26 million people around the world suffer from diabetic foot ulcers as a result of their diabetes. There is a significant chance that a diabetic foot ulcer will develop over the course of a patient's lifetime in 16 to 24% of patients with diabetes.
End-user (Hospitals, Clinics, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, Homecare)
The global diabetic ulcers treatment market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end-user into hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and home care. Amongst these segments, the hospitals segment is expected to garner a significant share. The increasing number of hospitals across the world owing to the increasing number of patients suffering from various diseases, and the growing aging population is estimated to propel the growth of the market segment. The increasing favorable reimbursement policies from the government to support people with low income rises the demand for hospitals. The improvement in treatment methods and the presence of experienced doctors in the hospitals is expected to increase the market segment growth in the forecast period. As per the estimations, there are about 8,200 hospitals in Japan as of 2020 and 4,100 hospitals in Korea.
