Wound Care in Uganda

October 2026

Wound care in Uganda demonstrates strong growth in 2026, with retail value sales expected to increase by 8% to UGX3.8 billion, highlighting robust demand despite a challenging environment marked by inflation and import-related disruptions. The attractiveness of this space is underpinned by sustained expansion in consumer expenditure, a rising population, and a structural shift towards advanced solutions for chronic and post-surgical wounds, particularly in response to the growing burden of diabetes and an ageing demographic. Success hinges on addressing accessibility and affordability through strategic product design, local manufacturing, and leveraging digital channels, while maintaining brand trust and reliability in distribution; companies able to adapt to evolving needs, navigate supply chain volatility, and support home-based care with innovative solutions are best positioned to benefit from ongoing transformation and expanding demand in wound care.
