The rise in the number of diabetes cases is the primary factor promoting the advanced wound care market growth in the Middle East and Africa. Nearly 73 million population in the Middle East and Africa suffer from diabetes, according to a survey conducted in 2021.

Some chronic wounds in older people are venous leg ulcers, arterial insufficiency, and pressure ulcers (PUs). The severity of these may lead to death. These chronic wounds would affect the entire life of the older population. As a result, they prefer advanced wound care systems for the prevention or reduction of chronic wounds, which propels the market growth.
