Overview


According to FutureWise analysis the market for adhesive bandages is expected to reach US$ 4.51 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 4.10%.

An adhesive bandage is a tiny piece of sticky adhesive tape with an absorbent pad to cover minor cuts or wounds on your body. The absorbent pad is usually made of cotton, and there is occasionally a thin coating over the pad to save it from sticking to the wound. The adhesive bandage protects the cut and scab from bacteria, injury, or dirt so that the body's healing process is less disturbed. The adhesive used in bandages is commonly an acrylic polymer. Polymers are huge molecules made up of many smaller molecules chemically attached in a repeating pattern.

A peel test is performed between two materials bonded together with an adhesive. The adhesive usually takes the form of a thin layer. The peel test aims to determine the material's adhesive strength or the adhesive bond between two materials. This adhesive strength represents the "stickiness" of a material as it measures the samples' resistance to separate from one another after the adhesive has been applied. This measure determines whether the adhesive bond is strong enough or too strong for the use and whether a different adhesive or bonding process is needed. ASTM D903 was used to measure the adhesive strength.

Recent Developments in Adhesive Bandages Market:

  • In May 2022- 3M launched its newest medical adhesive, the 3M Spunlace Extended Wear Adhesive Tape on Liner, for extended-wear devices which requires attachment to the skin for up to a 21-days wear duration.

  • In May 2022- Researchers from Israel and China developed a smart microneedle adhesive bandage that measures and monitors in real-time three critical biomarkers that currently require invasive blood draws for medical laboratory tests commonly performed on patients in hospitals.

The increasing trend for outdoor activities, such as trekking, cycling, and running among children and teenagers, and several other factors, are contributing to the growth of the adhesive bandages market. The need for quick and effective wound care solutions has led to a surge in the adoption of adhesive bandages. Moreover, the rising prevalence of physical fitness and sports has resulted in a higher incidence of sports-related injuries, further propelling the market. Additionally, the growing elderly population and the prevalence of chronic wounds such as foot ulcers and pressure ulcers in aging individuals create a significant need for wound management products, including adhesive bandages. Furthermore, the availability of alternatives such as alginate dressings, hydrogel, foam, and film dressings is one of the significant impeding factors for the growth of the adhesive bandages market. These alternative wound care products offer specialized features and benefits, such as improved moisture retention, better conformability to wound contours, enhanced breathability, and advanced healing properties. As healthcare providers seek more efficient and effective solutions for wound management, the increasing adoption of these alternatives is expected to obstruct the overall adoption and market expansion of adhesive bandages.
