The global wound cleanser market is gaining strong momentum as healthcare systems increasingly prioritize effective wound management to prevent infections, accelerate healing, and reduce overall treatment costs. Wound cleansers play a critical role across acute, chronic, and post-surgical wound care by removing debris, necrotic tissue, and contaminants without damaging healthy tissue. Rising incidences of chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and venous leg ulcers, coupled with an aging global population, are significantly boosting demand. Additionally, the shift toward advanced wound care solutions and evidence-based clinical protocols is reinforcing the importance of high-quality wound cleansing products in hospitals, clinics, and homecare settings worldwide.
