According to a research report published by Spherical Insights and Consulting, The Global Enzymatic Debridement Market Size was worth around USD 879.1 Million in 2024 and is Predicted to Grow to around USD 1738.5 Million by 2035 with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.4% from 2025 to 2035. The enzymatic debridement market globally is expanding owing to the rising incidence of chronic wounds, the elderly population pool, technological advancements in wound care products in terms of minimally invasive techniques, and greater awareness among healthcare professionals about an easy healing solution for wounds.

Market Overview

The Global Enzymatic Debridement Market Size is centred around products that utilise proteolytic enzymes in a manner that allows for a highly specific removal of dead tissue from a wound to facilitate a quick healing procedure with a minimum impact on healthy tissue. The market is greatly bolstered by the increasing number of instances of chronic conditions such as wound infections, burns, diabetic foot infections, pressure sores, and complex injuries, which are currently being treated with these products in place of more invasive surgical debridement.

In July 2025, BARDA issued a solicitation for FDA-approved proprietary products for the use of debridement in enhancing U.S. preparedness for a mass burn casualty event. This program aims to provide a scalable solution devoid of surgical invasiveness, with quick application and minimal pain. The prototype tests are expected in Q4 2025, aiming for a 2026 full-scale introduction in light of the FDA’s Phase 3 financing of MediWound. There are certain opportunities in the market which could be tapped in the future, such as increasing awareness of these products in emerging markets, product development with low costs in mind, use of novel enzyme formulations for better results, and so on. The key players in this market are Smith & Nephew, Mölnlycke Health Care, Kerecis, Derma Sciences, and Healthpoint Ltd., who are trying to increase market presence through innovation in products, partnership-building, or expansion into wider markets to cater to the increasing demands for enzymatic debridement worldwide.

Driving Factors

The main drivers of the Global Enzymatic Debridement Market Size are the increasing incidence of chronic wounds like diabetic foot ulcers, pressure sores, and venous leg ulcers, thereby propelling growth due to increased demand for a good treatment solution for wounds. Increasing awareness about minimal invasive and targeted debridement practices among healthcare professionals and patients is another factor propelling growth in this market. Improvements in formulation and effectiveness of enzymatic debriding agents will also act as a thrust factor for growth in this market. With increased healthcare spending and attention toward enhancing the quality of life among chronic wound patients, growth in this market is expected.

Restraining Factors

Factors that could constrain the Global Enzymatic Debridement Market Size include high treatment expense, low healthcare provider knowledge, adoption resistance in developing countries, the chance of an allergic reaction, and general preference for traditional treatments such as surgical and autolytic debridement. Strict government regulation could also pose an issue.

Market Segmentation

The enzymatic debridement market share is classified into type, product, and end-use.   

• The chronic wounds segment dominated the market in 2024, approximately 72% and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the type, the Global Enzymatic Debridement Market Size is divided into chronic wounds, diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, acute wounds, burn, and other acute wounds. Among these, the chronic wounds segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. The chronic wounds segment is driving the market as there is an increase in the incidence of diabetes, obesity, and an aging population, which significantly increases the risk of developing diabetic foot ulcers, pressure sores, and venous leg ulcers. In addition to this, rising awareness of advanced care of wounds, along with the efficiency of enzymatic debridement for rapid healing without infections, is also boosting this market segment.

• The collagenase product segment accounted for the largest share in 2024, approximately 55% and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the product, the Global Enzymatic Debridement Market Size is divided into collagenase product, papain product, and others. Among these, the collagenase product segment accounted for the largest share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The market for the collagenase product segment grew because it had high biocompatibility and potency in degrading the necrotic part of the collagen tissue. The versatility in its formulation, such as topical gels and powders, the quick healing rate of the skin, the low possibility of infection, and its usage in treating various chronic and acute wounds led to its high market acceptance.

• The hospitals segment accounted for the highest market revenue in 2024, approximately 53% and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the end use, the Global Enzymatic Debridement Market Size is divided into hospitals, clinics, and others. Among these, the hospitals segment accounted for the highest market revenue in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The hospitals segment also has a market growth rate, owing to the growing number of patients with chronic wounds. They have advanced wound care facilities, the required trained medical staff and access to enzymatic debridement agents. An increase in hospitalizations for diabetics, pressure sores, and surgical wounds also increases adoption, and hence, hospitals are the main distribution channels for the market.
