Market Fundamentals
Dermatology is the branch of medicine that deals with diagnosing and treating skin, hair, and nail diseases. The most common conditions are acne, eczema, psoriasis, etc. Dermatology drugs of various classes such as antifungal, antibacterial, retinoids, and corticosteroids are used to treat various skin conditions. These drugs can be taken orally or applied topically depending on the underlying disease severity.
Market Dynamics
[98765]
Increasing dermatological disease burden globally is the main factor responsible for the dermatology drugs market growth. Also, the rising elderly population is accompanied by age-related changes in skin conditions like decreased firmness and flexibility of skin, and decreased secretion from sebaceous glands also increases the risk of skin problems, which drives the global market. Increased focus on aesthetic appearance amongst youngsters and young adults has led to major product demand. Furthermore, an increase in funding by the government and a rise in research and development activities by major players in the market to bring innovative drugs also boosts the global dermatological drugs market growth.
However, side effects associated with the usage of certain classes of drugs such as skin thinning, rashes, edema, etc. are anticipated to restrain the market growth. Even the alternative treatment present in the market such as laser therapy, micro-needling, etc. is a challenge for the market growth.
Market Ecosystem
The global dermatology drugs market has been analyzed from five perspectives: drug class, disease indication, route of administration, distribution channel, and region.
Dermatology Drugs Market by Drug Class
[634578]
Based on drug class, the global dermatology drug class market is subdivided into antifungal, corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory & anti-pruritic, antibacterial, and retinoids. Retinoids dominate the dermatology drugs market. This is attributed to their high demands in acne treatment and in the management of aging. They are known to cause less irritation application which is one of the added advantages.
Dermatology Drugs Market by Disease Indication
By disease indication, the dermatology drugs market is segmented into acne, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, rosacea, and skin cancer. Due to the rising product demand for acne treatments among teenagers and young adults, acne is the most noticeable segment contributing to the largest proportion of the dermatology market.
During the projection period, the psoriasis segment is anticipated to have a sizable market share. A chronic autoimmune skin disease called psoriasis quickens the development cycle of skin cells. On the elbows, face, palms, knees, scalp, lower back, and soles of feet, it results in regions of thickly red skin with silvery scales. Plaque psoriasis, the most prevalent kind, is brought on by mistaken T-cell attacks on the skin.
Dermatology Drugs Market by Route of Administration
Based on the route of administration, the global dermatology drugs market is divided into oral, topical, and parenteral. The parenteral segment holds most of the market share owing to the introduction of biologics in the treatment of skin conditions.
Dermatology Drugs Market by Distribution Channel
Based on the channel of distribution of drugs the market is subdivided into retail pharmacy, online pharmacy, and hospital pharmacy. The hospital pharmacy segment dominates the dermatology drugs market, owing to the increased amount of prescribed drug and huge patient footfall for the diagnosis and treatment in the hospitals.
Dermatology Drugs Market by Region
The global Dermatology Drugs market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Rest of the World (ROW), based on region.
