Increasing product launches and rigorous clinical studies are expected to contribute to growth in the global market. Nowadays, acne tends to be a major problem among teenagers concerning their physical appearance.

Moreover, improved marketing strategies of companies and a vast distribution network in order to have a maximum reach of products are likely to contribute to the growing market size during the forecast period.


COVID-19 Pandemic: Reduced Demand for Dermatology Drugs to Dwindle Business Development

This led to a reduction in dermatologist appointments. As it is crucial to have a physician’s consultation for skin infections or other dermatology conditions before taking any medications. Stringent social distancing regulations have further led to a decline in market growth. According to the American Association of Dermatology, the dermatologists in the U.S reported an approximately 43% decline in inpatient consultations during the pandemic crisis. Moreover, the reduced demand for products ultimately led to a decrease in sales.


LATEST TRENDS

Increasing U.S Food & Drug Administration Approvals to Attract Business Investments


Despite the tremendous efforts put towards managing dermatology skin conditions, there is a higher demand for the development of low-cost, accurate, and therapeutically effective drugs. The increasing prevalence of acne infections, atopic dermatitis, and other conditions among the population has boosted the pharma companies to manufacture medications targeting skin diseases thus increasing the spending on R&D activities. For example, Alembic pharmaceuticals received a U.S FDA nod for its topical retinoid adapalene gel USP 0.3% indicated for treatment against acne vulgaris.


DRIVING FACTORS


Increasing Prevalence of Dermatologic Conditions to Propel Product Demand


Globally, an increasing patient population suffering from acne, vitiligo, and dermatitis will strongly lead to an increased demand for novel products. For instance, according to the American Association of Dermatology, in 2018, around 50 million people in the U.S had acne. Therefore, this will consequently boost the demand for effective products to cure the infections. According to Australian research, more than 4% of the population are affected by acne vulgaris in the long term. Thus, a higher prevalence of skin diseases coupled with demand for effective drugs is anticipated to drive the market growth during the forecast period.


Launch of Therapeutically Effective Drugs to Aid Growth


Regular introduction of novel and customer-centric products is likely to have a greater impact on the global dermatology drugs market. For example, in May 2020, Sanofi received U.S FDA approval for its drug Dupixent, is designed for children aged 6 to 11 years against atopic dermatitis. Also, in March 2020, Cosmedix announced the launch of the Correct Rapid Relief product for acne treatment. Additionally, strategies for marketing the product such as website launch, growing awareness campaigns, and advertisements through T.V, social media, and others will aid the market growth during the forecast period.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Risk of Side-effects About Improper Use of Products to Diminish Product Adoption


A major portion of the global population with dermatology infections is contributed by emerging countries owing to improper diet, pollution, and incorrect habitual activities such as smoking, alcohol etc. In low-middle income countries, lack of awareness about skin diseases, and higher illiteracy rate has led to lower adoption of products in the treatment against dermatology conditions. Another factor hindering the market growth is the side-effects associated with the products. For instance, U.S FDA issues an alert for the usage of certain OTC medications that can cause life-threatening allergic conditions. This is likely to lower the adoption of products, leading to a decline in the dermatology drugs’ market value.
