Customer preferences in the Wound Care market in Timor-Leste are shifting towards advanced wound care products.

Customers are increasingly demanding products that promote faster wound healing and minimize the risk of infection. This preference is driven by the growing awareness about the importance of proper wound care and the availability of information through various channels.

In line with global trends, the Wound Care market in Timor-Leste is witnessing a shift towards the adoption of innovative wound care technologies. Advanced wound dressings, such as hydrogels and foam dressings, are gaining popularity due to their ability to create a moist wound environment that promotes healing. These products offer advantages over traditional wound dressings, such as improved absorption, reduced pain, and enhanced patient comfort.
