  • Rising prevalence of skin cancer is driving the market growth


Market CAGR for skin grafts is driven by the rising cases of skin cancer. In the best-case scenario, skin transplants are desired after skin cancer surgery. Skin grafts are typically referred for local postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) to guarantee that the surgical bed produced during radiotherapy is closed. According to Cancer Research UK, 42 new cases of melanoma skin cancer are reported in the UK each day, totaling around 15,400 new cases per year. Between 2014 and 2035, the UK's melanoma skin cancer incidence rate is expected to increase by 7%, reaching 32 incidences per 100,000 persons. Rising UV exposure among the population is projected to increase with rising warming, contributing to an increase in skin cancer worldwide.


One of the most widespread medical disorders in the world is diabetes. In 2019, 463 million adults worldwide had diabetes, according to the International Diabetes Federation's (IDF) IDF Diabetes Atlas Ninth Edition. By 2045, it is assumed that 700 million adults worldwide—or about 79% of those in low- and middle-income countries—will live with diabetes. Diabetes patients' wounds take longer to heal, which raises the risk of skin infections if they are not treated in a specific amount of time. Approximately 25% of diabetic people will likely experience foot ulcers at some point, frequently requiring advanced diabetic wound care. Due to the reduced risk of skin infections, the need for skin grafts to treat or hide diabetic foot sores is rising. Thus, it is anticipated that the increased prevalence of diabetes and skin cancer will propel the skin graft market in the near future. Thus, driving the skin graft market revenue.
