 Skin barrier products are essential medical devices used to protect damaged or fragile skin from external irritants, friction, and contamination. They form a physical barrier between the skin and external contaminants, bodily fluids, and medical devices. Key skin barrier products include sealants, protectants, and tapes that offer protection against moisture, adhesives, and shear/friction. They find wide application in the treatment of severe wounds, prevention of skin breakdown, and protection of peri-wound skin.

Market Dynamics:

Rising prevalence of chronic wounds and skin conditions is a key driver augmenting market growth. Chronic conditions like diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and pressure ulcers often require long-term skin protection with barrier products. According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the U.S., about 5.7 million people suffer from chronic wounds each year. These wounds contribute to increased healthcare costs as well as reduced quality of life. Skin barrier products play a crucial role in effective wound management and treatment of such conditions. Furthermore, growing geriatric population worldwide is also fueling demand as the risk of developing chronic wounds increases with age. According to the United Nations, the population aged 60 years and above is expected to reach 1.4 billion by 2030 and 2.1 billion by 2050 worldwide. The surging elderly demographic will continue augmenting demand for skin barrier products over the forecast period.
