PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Modest growth over forecast period
Wound care will register modest constant value and volume growth over the forecast period. Wound care is a mature product area with limited new product launches, which will limit overall growth.
Increasing offerings targeted at children
While there will be limited innovation over the forecast period, one segment that will see regular product launches is offerings targeted at children, with cartoon characters being emblazoned on sticking plasters/adhesive bandages. Cartoon characters will be used to make them child-friendly, reducing anxiety and fear for children during minor wound care, by providing a distraction and a positive, comforting experience.
Increasing fitness activity supports growth
Costa Ricans are increasingly participating in fitness activities and this will support growth for wound care. The demand for wound care from fitness typically arises from activity-related injuries, such as skin abrasions, blisters, and muscle strains, which require care but can often be prevented or healed faster with proper preparation and management, including using appropriate wound dressings.
