The hypertrophic scar market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Hypertrophic Scar Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". A hypertrophic scar refers to a cutaneous condition in which raised, thickened, and wider scars occur around a healing wound due to an abnormal response to an injury or trauma. These scars are characterized by dermal tissue proliferation, prolonged over-deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, particularly collagen, as well as persistent inflammation and fibrosis. The condition becomes evident within weeks of the injury and is limited to the area of damaged skin. Individuals suffering from this disorder may experience hard or thickened raised tissue, along with pink to red or purple skin color over the wound site, irritation, itching, tenderness, pain, mild discomfort, etc. In some cases, when a scar develops over the skin of a joint, it might impair the joint's normal movement. The diagnosis of this ailment is mainly based on the patient's medical history and clinical features. The healthcare provider may also perform a physical examination to evaluate the affected area. Additionally, a skin biopsy is required to confirm a diagnosis if the scar continues to change or worsen.

The increasing cases of injury or trauma to the skin, including surgical incisions, burns, cuts, abrasions, etc., are primarily driving the hypertrophic scar market. Furthermore, the rising prevalence of several associated risk factors, such as genetic predisposition, bacterial or fungal infections at the wound site, poor wound care, herpes zoster infection, chicken pox, etc., is also propelling the market growth. In addition to this, the escalating utilization of various medications, including corticosteroid and bleomycin injections, which can soften and flatten the scar and ease symptoms like itching and pain, is creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the inflating usage of tension-releasing surgical techniques, such as Z-plasty and local flap methods, for patients with advanced disease conditions who have failed conservative treatments is also bolstering the market growth. Apart from this, the emerging popularity of laser therapies, since they are less painful and uncomfortable than other scar treatment options like surgical scar revision, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the widespread adoption of silicone sheets or ointments to lower scar appearance and improve skin texture in patients is expected to drive the hypertrophic scar market in the coming years.
