Market Growth Rate 2025-2033: 2.82%

The Europe negative pressure wound therapy market is expanding steadily. Valued at USD 600 million in 2024, the market is projected to reach USD 780.7 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 2.82%. This moderate yet consistent growth is driven by rising rates of diabetes and obesity, an ageing population, and increasing adoption of minimally-invasive wound-care solutions.

Europe Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Market Growth Drivers

Rising Diabetes & Obesity Burden Across the EU

Eurostat data from 2024 shows there are now 32.5 million adults in the EU who have diabetes. This number is up 8% from 2020. Diabetic foot ulcers are very common. They make up about 15% of all hospital bed days in Germany. Because of this, national diabetic care programs now ask for faster NPWT referral steps. In France, HAS (Haute Autorité de Sant&eacutechanged its clinical advice in January 2025. Now, they say NPWT should be used for all Wagner Grade 2 and higher ulcers within 14 days after they are found. These new rules are speeding up how people get these devices in hospitals and homes.

Ageing Demographics & Home-Care Incentives

The European Commission says that by 2030, one out of every five people in Europe will be over 65. As people get older, their skin ages. This can make wounds heal more slowly, and there is a bigger chance that they will have chronic wounds. Because of costs linked to infections caught in hospitals, NHS England started a Home NPWT Framework in April 2025. It is worth £45 million. It pays for battery-operated, single-use devices for patients who meet the rules. Tests finished in March 2025 showed that there was a 22% drop in the number of people going back to the hospital. There was also an average cost saving of £1,270 for each patient. This led to more money being given for portable NPWT systems.

Technological Leap to Lightweight, Battery-Operated Devices

Old NPWT pumps used to weigh more than 3 kg and kept people connected to a wall plug. Now, new devices are getting rid of these problems. In February 2025, a group led by Charité Hospital Berlin tested a single-use NPWT device that weighs only 400 grams. This system can be controlled with a smartphone, runs at ‑125 mmHg, and lasts 7 days on just one charge. The device has the CE mark and, in May 2025, got quick approval for payment from Germany’s G-BA. These new products are helping more people use therapy at outpatient surgery centres and while on the go. This has helped boost device sales all over Europe.
