SmartTRAK reports on the Wound Care Today 2023 Conference, where a number of challenges facing UK Advanced Dressings companies were on display

The UK Advanced Dressings Market is projected to grow at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of +1.9%, according to SmartTRAK estimates. The UK market is growing slower than any of the nine advanced dressings markets that SmartTRAK reports on, including the markets for Total Europe (+3.2%) and Worldwide (+5.0%). Given that the number of chronic wounds is increasing annually and the rate of UK inflation is in the double digits, why is the growth of the UK market so poor compared to other markets?

Among the may topics covered in detail in this comprehensive look into Wound Care 2023 article are:

• Increasing Alignment of Advanced Dressing Portfolios
• Increased Presence of Premium Priced Therapies
• Digital Tools That Highlight Inappropriate Usage of Dressings
• The Hidden Impact of Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Any usage of advanced dressings to manage HS is vulnerable to switching to products tailored to the condition. Quantifying the size of this market niche is challenging but could be an increasing area of focus in ...

Q422 saw a continued rise in procedure volumes globally which provided growth for the AT Disposables Market, which tends to trend with case volumes. On the capital side of the AT market, capital orders remained strong for items such as arthroscopic camera systems with new equipment purchases as well as an increasing need for replacement capital driving demand. However, supply chain and sterilization issues continue to hinder overall sales growth in both the consumable and capital sides of the Arthroscopic Technologies market.

As the US Spine Enabling Technology Market shows signs of blossoming opportunity in 2023, SmartTRAK highlights three distinct trends continuing to gain traction in the coming year.

The US market for Spine Enabling Technology boasted modest YoY gains in nearly every quarter in 2022, showing signs of blossoming opportunity in 2023 as procedure volumes return to pre-pandemic levels. SmartTRAK projects the US Spine Enabling Technology Market will have a five-year CAGR of 25.1%, according to SmartTRAK Spine Enabling Tech Market Overview. Looking ahead, SmartTRAK sees three distinct trends continuing in 2023: the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI), the increasing use of “smart” innovations in robotics and the ongoing shift of spine cases to the ambulatory surgery center (ASC) setting.

Among the trends outlined and discussed in detail in this Market Outlook article are:

Trend #1: Growing Use of AI to Optimize Surgery and Predict Outcomes
It is no secret that AI is here to stay. In recent years, advances in deep learning and deep neural networks have fueled the introduction of a wave of AI and machine learning-based solutions across various medical applications. SmartTRAK reviews the development of AI in healthcare and the implementation of AI-driven imaging in orthopedics and ...

Trends #2: Increasing use of "Smart" Drilling and Haptic Feedback in Robotics. Current evidence remains unclear whether increased accuracy of implant placement associated with robotic assistance in spine surgery translates to improved patient outcomes. Nevertheless, robotic adoption is clearly increasing with market leader MDT highlighting “record-breaking quarters” in Mazor robotics for Q4FY22. SmartTRAK estimates the US Spine Robotics Market will reach ...

Trends #3: : Ongoing Shift of Non-complex Spine to ASCs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, hospital restrictions on non-urgent surgical cases prompted surgeons to take more cases to surgery centers. For a surgeon, ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) can facilitate better economics, control and patient safety. In the pandemic aftermath, published research suggests there is a renewed focus on ...

SmartTRAK identifies the top trends impacting the Compression Therapy Market in 2023 and beyond, including reimbursement, diagnostic aids, 3M’s spin-off and growth in compression wraps.

Over the next several years, reimbursement changes in the US could impact the US Compression Therapy Market, In 2020, SmartTRAK noted that industry participants should expect increased activity from US advocacy groups seeking to raise awareness of reimbursement restrictions on compression therapy products. 

Among the top trends impacting the Compression Market in 2023 covered in detail in this article are:

• Trend #1: Expanding Coverage of Lymphedema Compression Therapy
  •  In December 2022, advocacy efforts were rewarded when legislators added coverage of lymphedema compression treatment items to the $1.7 trillion US Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (H.R. 2617). Among many other provisions, the Bill provides Medicare coverage of ...
    
    
• Trend #2: Innovation in Diagnostic Aids
  • The lack of objective measurement of lymphatic function hinders the effective diagnosis and treatment of lymphedema. Lymphedema is typically diagnosed based on a patient’s underlying risk factors and physical symptoms. In some cases, imaging technology such as ...
    
    
• Trend #3: 3M’s Health Care Spin-off Shifting Market Dynamics
  • SmartTRAK noted in a recent article that 3M’s spin-off of its Health Care business could lead to a more focused and stronger leader in advanced wound care. SmartTRAK does not categorize compression therapy as advanced wound care, however, compression is ...
    
    
• Trend #4: Growth in Compression Wraps
  • SmartTRAK continues to track the growth of compression wraps via publicly available data sources. Compression wraps are growing strong in the UK, driven by the belief that the products improve patient compliance, reduce the need for professional intervention and are more cost-effective. The same drivers support growth in the US; however, the US Medicare system only provides reimbursement of compression wraps for qualifying wounds ...
