LIQUID PLASTER MARKET OVERVIEW

The global liquid plaster market is anticipated to witness consistent growth, starting at USD 0.11 billion in 2025, reaching USD 0.12 billion in 2026, and climbing to USD 0.14 billion by 2035, with a steady CAGR of 2.4% from 2025 to 2035. 

Liquid plaster is a topical skin treatment for minor wounds. It is a polymer dissolved in a solvent, such as water or alcohol. The polymer forms a thin film on the skin when the solvent evaporates, creating a protective barrier that keeps dirt and germs out and moisture in. They are often used to treat cuts, scrapes, and burns. They are also used to secure medical devices, such as IV lines and catheters.

They can be applied directly to the wound, which eliminates the need to remove clothing or hair. They are less likely to harbor bacteria and other microorganisms, which can help to prevent infection. They are thinner and more flexible than traditional bandages, which allows them to move with the skin.
