Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037
Negative-pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) Market size was valued at USD 2.73 billion in 2024 and is likely to cross USD 6.19 billion by 2037, registering more than 6.5% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of negative-pressure wound therapy is estimated at USD 2.88 billion.
The growth of the market is primarily attributed to worldwide increasing prevalence of acute and chronic wounds. For instance, around 4% of all patients in hospitals throughout the world have a chronic wound. In most cases 70% of these wounds resurface, and 34% caused by infection.
Negative pressure wound therapy, also referred as vacuum aided wound closure, is used for wound healing and fluid removal from the site of an open wound. NPWT is a non-invasive procedure that employs controlled negative pressure. These devices are frequently used in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and surgical wounds. Thus growing number of surgeries are fueling up the growth of the negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) market in the forecast period. For instance, every year, approximately 315 million major surgeries are performed worldwide, out of which, 40 to 51 million in the United States and 21 million in Europe.

Negative-pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Increasing Cases of Burns – Burn injury is a worldwide health concern largely caused by heat or radiation, radioactivity, abrasion, electricity, or chemical contact. As per the World Health Organization report, burns are accountable for approximately 180 000 deaths each year.
- Rise in Diabetes Cases - Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels. Diabetes-related high blood sugar leads to harm nerves, eyes, kidneys, and other organs of body if left untreated. Worldwide growing cases of diabetes are resulting in sores that do not heal properly. For instance, there are 422 million diabetics in the world, and diabetes is primarily responsible for 1.5 million deaths yearly.
- Global Upsurge in Venous Leg Ulcers - Venous leg ulcers occur as a result of high blood pressure in veins of lower leg. If left untreated, additional pressure and excess fluid in the affected area lead to the formation of an open sore. Such ulcers are chronic (long-lasting) sores which mostly occurs in old population that need required treatment on time. In the United States and Europe, it is estimated that 1 to 4% of the elderly population is affected by venous leg ulcers.
- Expansion of Geriatric Population - The risk of certain medical conditions is heavily influenced by age and lifestyle. Elderly individuals frequently face a variety of health issues that significantly affect their overall quality of life. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2019, there were around 1 billion people aged 60 and older. This figure is expected to rise nearly 1.4 billion by 2030 and 2.1 billion by 2050.
- Growing Prevalence of Post-Surgical Wounds – The chances of a patient getting an infection at the surgical site after surgery are figured to be between 2% and 7%, and the same type of infection is noticed to gross above 19% in the case of contaminated wounds.
