Wound care in Canada is expected to maintain steady growth in 2026, supported primarily by price increases alongside modest volume gains. Its resilient performance reflects the essential and routine nature of wound care purchases, while continued population growth and consumer spending provide a supportive demand base. Competitive pressures are nevertheless intensifying as private label strengthens its position and e-commerce captures a growing proportion of routine purchases. The transition of Band-Aid and Polysporin to Kimberly-Clark is also set to strengthen their distribution across grocery and mass retail channels. With core wound care products becoming increasingly commoditised, competitive advantage will depend on effective price positioning, broad distribution and stronger digital and replenishment strategies to encourage repeat purchasing and defend share.
