Advanced Wound Care OTC Market Summary
The global advanced wound care OTC market size was estimated at USD 7.06 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 16.04 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 9.73% from 2025 to 2033. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing prevalence of acute wounds such as surgical wounds, traumatic injuries, and burns, which require effective and immediate wound management solutions.
Rising rates of road accidents, sports injuries, and surgical procedures globally have led to a surge in demand for advanced OTC wound care products that promote faster healing and reduce the risk of infection. According to the data published by the Total Family Care Center in April 2025, approximately 11 million individuals in the U.S. experience acute wounds annually, with around 300,000 cases requiring hospital care.
The growing number of regulatory approvals for over-the-counter advanced wound care products is poised to drive significant market growth in the coming years. These approvals are broadening consumer access to advanced wound care treatments outside traditional healthcare settings.
For instance, in April 2024, Vomaris Inc. received FDA clearance for its PowerHeal bioelectric bandage for OTC use. Designed to treat superficial wounds like minor cuts, abrasions, and blisters, the bandage features microcell batteries made from elemental silver and zinc. When activated by a conductive medium such as wound exudate, saline, or hydrogel, the microcells produce therapeutic microcurrents that promote faster healing and help prevent infection.
The rising incidence of various types of wounds-including minor cuts, lacerations, abrasions, blisters, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and burns-is expected to drive growth in the OTC advanced wound care industry significantly. In many countries, large segments of the population are affected by such injuries, fueling demand for accessible and effective at-home treatment solutions. For instance, according to data released by the Total Family Care Center in April 2025, an estimated 11 million people in the U.S. suffer from acute wounds each year, with only about 300,000 requiring hospitalization. This indicates that most of these cases are treated at home with OTC products, underscoring the strong market potential for advanced wound care solutions tailored for self-care and home use.
In addition, the incidence of burns is rising significantly. The American Burn Association (ABA) reported approximately 32,540 burn cases in 2023 across its burn care centers. In addition, from 2019 to 2023, a total of 156,073 burn cases were documented across more than 38 states in the U.S. This rising incidence of various wound types, including minor burns and diabetic foot ulcers, is expected to drive the demand for advanced wound care OTC products significantly.
