Rising awareness about advanced wound care is expected to hinder the growth of the medical tapes market. Advanced wound accelerates the healing process for many chronic wounds by providing and promoting a moist environment. As basic/traditional wound care products take a large amount of time to heal wounds and are less effective for certain types of wounds, advanced wound care products are being used as first-line therapy wherever infection control and healing speed are major concerns. Considering their effectiveness, coupled with the limitations of basic/traditional wound dressings, advanced and active wound care products are seen as a prominent restraint for the market.
