Diabetes is a long-term condition that leads to diabetic foot ulcers. According to data published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in August 2024, the incidence of diabetic foot ulcers around the world ranges from 9.1 to 26.1 million yearly. Approximately 15 to 25% of people with diabetes mellitus are diagnosed with diabetic foot ulcers in their lifetime.
Furthermore, according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), in 2022, the prevalence of Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU) in African countries was between 10% and 30%. Also, the prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers throughout Europe in 2022 ranged between 1.0% (Denmark) and 17.0% (Belgium). Further, in the IDF Middle East & North Africa Region, DFU prevalence was between 5.0% and 20% in 2022, while DFU recurrence ranged between 31.0% (Egypt) to 43.0% (Turkey). In Brazil, the prevalence of DFU was 21.0% in 2022. Such chronic injuries require regular treatment to avoid severe infections and emergency conditions, driving the demand for various wound closure products.
