The chemistry of East and West to provide a better solution

According to media and multiple research papers, the global wound care market is projected to reach $24.8 billion USD by 2024 from $19.8 billion USD in 2019, at a compound annual growth rate of 4.6% from 2019 to 2024. When observed by region, the wound care market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a high pace in the coming years. The factors contributing to the high growth of the Asia Pacific region are a rising geriatric population, an increase in chronic illnesses such as diabetes, a growing number of surgeries, an overall increase in healthcare expenditure, an expansion of the healthcare infrastructure and the continuous growth of the population in the region. The majority of wound care is slowly making the transition from traditional care, classical care, to advanced wound care using various dressings such as foam, alginates, hydrocolloids and negative wound pressure therapies. Among this clinical trend, growth in research in wound healing medicine can also be seen in this region. The Silk Road supplement of Journal of Wound Care (JWC), is evidence of the way in which wound care science and clinical practice is trending in this region.
