Report Description

Diabetic foot ulcer is an open sore or wound that occurs in approximately 15 percent of people suffering from diabetes mellitus. Ulcers can be formed due to combination of factors such as poor blood circulation, foot deformities, irritation, and prolonged existence of diabetes. Diabetic foot ulcer can be broadly categorized into five categories namely neuropathic ulcers, ischemic ulcers, neuro-ischemic ulcers, infectious ulcers, and traumatic ulcers. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a precipitating factor in almost 90% of diabetic foot ulcers. Some of the common medical approaches which are applicable in prevention of diabetic foot ulcers include cleaning the wound with mild antiseptic solution, applying antibiotics for infection management, controlling blood sugar level, undergoing advanced wound therapies, and surgical interventions. Amoxicillin-clavulanate, Ciprofloxacin, and Clindamycin are some of the regular antibiotics which are prescribed by healthcare professional for prevention of diabetic foot ulcer infections. In United Kingdom, approximately 6000 diabetics undergo amputations of leg, toe, or foot every year and up to 80 percent of people die within 5 years after amputation. However, increase in preference for platelet-rich plasma or platelet-rich fibrin among healthcare professionals in UK are emerging as possible treatment options for nonhealing ulcers which have thereby reduced the requirement for amputations. Increasing prevalence of diabetes being a primary cause of diabetic foot ulcer mainly among population of Scotland, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland are expected to propel the growth of United Kingdom diabetic foot ulcer treatment market in the forecast period. Moreover, growing geriatric population in the region coupled with high instances of diabetic foot ulcers are also expected to register an impressive growth to the market in forecast period. Age-related factors such as poor wound healing and reduced blood circulation are primarily leading to the development of ulcers in elder people. Growing technological advancements in healthcare system of United Kingdom which mainly focuses on early curing of diabetic foot ulcer is also a significant factor behind lucrative growth of United Kingdom diabetic foot ulcer treatment market.

Growing Prevalence of Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic medical condition that affects the ability of the body to regulate blood sugar levels. Diabetes mellitus can lead to the formation of diabetic foot ulcer in people by causing Peripheral artery disease (PAD) or peripheral neuropathy.  Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is more prominent in the United Kingdom compared to peripheral neuropathy. Some of the major risk factors which account for proximity of people towards peripheral artery disease include obesity, smoking, diabetes, and high blood pressure. According to the report published by Patient UK in 2021, it has been observed that around 4-12% of people above 55-70 years of age get diagnosed with PAD every year. Moreover, 500-1,000 new cases of critical limb ischemia are reported in United Kingdom yearly. Ischemic tissue is susceptible to damage and can cause necrosis. Ulcers that develop in areas of poor blood supply are more likely to aggravate and develop into non-healing or chronic wounds. Moreover, poor blood circulation due to PAD inhibits the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the wound site, which in turn hinders the formation of new blood vessels and the synthesis of collagen necessary for wound healing. Growing approach of pharmaceutical products for prevention of diabetic foot ulcer caused by PAD are influencing the growth of United Kingdom diabetic foot ulcer treatment market in the forecast period. Antiplatelet medications such as aspirin, clopidogrel, and ticagrelor helps in formation of blood clots and improves blood flow which therefore reduces the chances of diabetic foot ulcers. Moreover, availability of blood sugar control medications in the market such as metformin, sulfonylureas, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, and insulin which assist in maintaining target blood sugar levels are also supporting the market growth.

Increase in Geriatric Population

Growing rate of geriatric population in England, Wales, Southern Ireland, and Scotland is also one of the predominant factors which supports the growth of United Kingdom diabetic foot ulcer treatment market in the forecast period. According to the analysis presented by Statista on ‘The Aging Population of England and Wales’ in 2022, it has been observed that around 14% of the total population in the countries were aged between 50-59 years of age, followed by 11% of people between 60-69 years of age, 8% of people were aged between 70-79 years of age, and so on. Symptoms which are commonly experienced by elder people causing diabetic foot ulcer are persistent foot pain, inflammation, changes in skin texture, loss of sensation, slow healing, and others. Among various types of diabetic foot ulcers neurotrophic ulcers, ischemic ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, and pressure ulcers are some common ulcers which are found to be more prevalent among elderly people. Medications commonly used to control blood sugar levels in older adults with diabetes may include oral antidiabetic drugs (e.g., metformin) or insulin therapy. Moreover, the growing requirement of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) which are capable of alleviating discomfort caused by diabetic foot ulcers in older people is expected to register an impressive growth to United Kingdom diabetic foot ulcer treatment market in upcoming years.

Technological Advancements

Growing advancements in treatment procedures such as advanced wound care products, remote monitoring, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) are one of the emerging significant factors which are leading to the growth of United Kingdom diabetic foot ulcer treatment market in the forecast period. NPWT involves the application of a vacuum dressing to the wound site, which helps to promote healing by removing excess fluid, increasing blood flow, and stimulating tissue growth. This therapy has shown promising results in treating diabetic foot ulcers and reducing the need for amputation. Modern development of new bandage treatment known as a scaffold have evolved as an effective prevention for diabetic foot ulcers. 3D bio printed scaffolds slowly release antibiotics over 4 weeks to effectively heal wounds. Moreover, Integra Omnigraft Dermal Regeneration Matrix (Omnigraft) approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration have been a recent addition made to healthcare system for treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. A matrix device composed of silicone, bovine collagen, and shark cartilage is placed over the ulcer to provide an environment for new skin and tissue to regenerate and heal the wound. Moreover, ongoing research of NO-releasing compounds, such as nitric oxide-releasing dressings and hydrogels which acquire antimicrobial and vasodilatory properties for prevention of diabetic foot ulcers is also expected to drive the growth of United Kingdom diabetic foot ulcer treatment market in the forecast period.
