The world market for products to treat burn wounds is expected to surpass the $2 billion mark in the next few years, according to a study from Kalorama Information, New York, NY. Leading the growth in burn care are several market segments, including silver dressings and portions of the biologic dressings sector, both of which will display annual growth in excess of 20% through the end of the decade, the study says.

The study, Wound Care Markets, Volume II: Burns, examines 6 categories of products-anti-infectives, burn management products, moist dressings, biologic dressings, pressure-relief devices, and other treatments-and more than 10 subcategories, including cleansers, debridement products, silver dressings, alginates, films, foams, hydrocolloids, hydrogels, artificial skins, and collagen products.
