biofilms treatment Market

The biofilms treatment market was valued at US$ 1,590.31 million in 2019 and is projected to reach US$ 2,825.80 million by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during 2020–2027.

The increasing incidence of wounds and ulcers, and growing number of surgical procedures across the world fuel the market growth. Moreover, continuous innovations in wound care products are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. However, the high cost associated with wound care management hinders the growth of the biofilms treatment market.

Biofilms are composed of mixed strains of fungi, bacteria, yeasts, algae, and other microbes. A biofilm develops on the wound surface when certain types of bacteria or fungi adhere to the wound surface and form a matrix over it. Viscous and shiny substances with unpleasant smell are secreted. The rising diabetes cases and skin injuries due to burns fuel the growth of the biofilms treatment market.
