The Future of Compression Therapy Market

Posted 2023-04-27 10:11:10

Globally, an increasing number of people are actively participating in sports and physical activities (as a result of the growing awareness about health and fitness). This trend has, in turn, increased the incidence of sports injuries and injuries related to other physical fitness activities. In the US alone, ~8.6 million sports injuries are registered annually (source: US Department of Health and Human Services, data as of 2021).

Patient non-compliance with compression products and non-adherence to treatment protocols are the common issues related to compression therapy. Noncompliance is especially high in long-term treatments, where the primary goal is to prevent the occurrence of a specific condition (such as the occurrence or reoccurrence of ulcers).

Since compression therapy is generally used as a preventive therapy in a majority of cases, the compliance rate of patients with the therapy decreases over time. Moreover, conditions such as pain, swelling, and skin irritation are associated with the regular use of compression garments.
