Compression therapy Market Dynamics
Drivers: Growing incidence of sports injuries and accidents
Road accidents and sports injuries are among the major causes of death and disability across the globe. Accident cases are often associated with severe or mild injuries to the skeletal system. In such cases, compression therapy products are generally used to support the healing process and promote faster patient recovery.
Globally, an increasing number of people are actively participating in sports and physical activities (as a result of the growing awareness about health and fitness). This trend has, in turn, increased the incidence of sports injuries and injuries related to other physical fitness activities. In the US alone, ~8.6 million sports injuries are registered annually (source: US Department of Health and Human Services, data as of 2021).
Restraints: Low patient compliance with compression garments
Patient non-compliance with compression products and non-adherence to treatment protocols are the common issues related to compression therapy. Noncompliance is especially high in long-term treatments, where the primary goal is to prevent the occurrence of a specific condition (such as the occurrence or reoccurrence of ulcers). Since compression therapy is generally used as a preventive therapy in a majority of cases, the compliance rate of patients with the therapy decreases over time. Moreover, conditions such as pain, swelling, and skin irritation are associated with the regular use of compression garments.
Opportunities: Increased sales of off-the-shelf and online products
Some products (such as low-pressure compression stockings, bandages, and wraps) are increasingly being sold through pharmacies, retailers (off-the-shelf), and e-commerce websites since their use does not require authorization from medical professionals. Such products are regularly used by patients as preventive measures to avoid injuries.
Increasing sales of compression products through e-commerce websites and off-the-shelf channels across mature markets are expected to offer significant growth opportunities for the manufacturers of compression therapy products.
Compression bandages segment accounted for the largest market share of the compression therapy market, by product in 2021
Based on product, the global market is segmented into compression bandages, compression wraps, compression stockings, compression tapes, compression pumps, compression braces, and other compression garments. The market is segmented into compression garments, compression braces, and compression pumps. In 2021, compression bandages are expected to account for the largest share of the global market.
Compression bandages are the first line of treatment for venous diseases and are used to prevent their recurrence during compression therapy. The increasing prevalence of diabetes and the rising geriatric population prone to venous ulcers, foot ulcers, varicose veins, and edema, along with the growing availability of compression bandages in the market, are expected to support the growth of the compression bandages market during the forecast period.
Varicose vein treatment segment accounted for the largest market share of the compression therapy market by application in 2021
On the basis of application, the market is segmented into varicose vein treatment, deep vein thrombosis treatment, lymphedema treatment, leg ulcer treatment, and other applications. The varicose vein treatment segment accounted for the largest market share of the global market during the forecast period, with high preference for compression therapy as the first line of therapy for the treatment and management of varicose veins among end users.
Moreover, the demand for compression therapy products in varicose vein treatment is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period owing to the growing prevalence of varicose veins as well as the increasing prevalence of major risk factors, such as age-related degeneration, obesity, and hypertension.
