As of 2024, wound care has yet to recover to pre-pandemic sales in retail volume terms. Furthermore, despite the more optimistic sales performance in 2024, the category is unlikely to reach back to 2019 volumes over the forecast period.
Higher operating costs and the need to invest in new product development is proving a challenge for established brands as they face tougher competition from more affordable options. Leading players such as Hartmann-Rico are very active in developing new products and ranges, while private label from pharmacy chains like Dr Max and Livsane (Benu) is pushing down average unit prices.
Given a retail landscape where wound care products, especially sticking plasters/adhesive bandages, enjoy wide availability in grocery retailers, e-commerce has not managed to grow as strongly over the years as in some other consumer health categories. Another reason why retail e-commerce is unlikely to generate substantial retail value and volume shares in the short term is the impulse nature of product purchases.
