The largest value category of gauze, tape and other wound care is set to continue driving demand for wound care in South Korea over the forecast period, especially hydro patch products. Predictions are for a notable uptake in retail volume sales in 2023 due to the wider resumption of outdoor activities, therefore leading to the greater likelihood of accidents.
Wound care is the only category within OTC consumer health that can sell through e-commerce, with the strict regulations in South Korea making it impossible for other products to use this retail channel. Despite the availability of this channel during the pandemic, when consumers spent greater time at home, e-commerce only recorded marginal share gain, which continued into 2021 followed by slowing sales in 2022, with many consumers mainly continuing to purchase wound care from pharmacies.
Along with the increase in outdoor activities, demand for wet wound care formats is expected to rise over the forecast period, with the introduction of various products. Various dressing products used for different occasions such as Medifoam, Duoderm, and EasyDerm, are likely to be in high demand and lead growth of wound care.
