Wound care in Uruguay in 2026 demonstrates sustained growth, driven primarily by evolving consumer behaviours, demographic shifts, and innovation in both products and retail channels. Performance is notably shaped by domestic demand returning from neighbouring Argentina, with retail value projected to increase by 7% to UYU18 million. Attractiveness is reinforced by the dual pull of preventative health consciousness, spurred by a surge in recreational fitness, and the ongoing need for advanced solutions among an ageing population with chronic conditions. However, the outlook is tempered by a projected population decline, meaning that brands must win share in a low-growth environment by adapting to heightened price sensitivity, leveraging digital distribution, and aligning with both preventative and treatment needs. Successful strategies will depend on a multi-channel approach, with a particular emphasis on pharmacy partnerships, e-commerce agility, portfolio innovation, and targeted promotions to engage both active and older consumers.
