Acne Treatment Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Product (Isotretinoi, Antibiotics, Retinoids and Other Products), Acne Type, Drug Type, Treatment, Route of Administration, End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Acne Treatment Market is accounted for $11.1 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $18.0 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period. Clogged skin pores and openings, including hair follicles, are the cause of acne, a skin-related condition. Teenagers and those in their early adult years are the key demographics that exhibit this arrangement. This is an extremely prevalent skin condition that affects all skin types regardless of age. Antibiotics and retinoids are used in the treatment of this type of skin condition. Even though there is no certainty that treating these skin conditions would provide the desired effects, the industry has long dominated this field due to its cosmetic value.

According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the prevalence of acne affected 9.4% of the global population in 2022. It is the eighth most prevalent disease in the world.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing prevalence of acne

Skin disorders affect a large percentage of people. The worldwide public is becoming more aware of acne products and accessible treatment choices due to the advent of numerous products used for the treatment, such as retinoids, isotretinoids, and oral and topical antibiotics. Therefore, it is anticipated that rising patient awareness would promote market expansion. Effective product marketing to pique the interest of the intended audience is also a key component in driving market expansion.

Restraint:

Concerns about product safety

Treatments for acne might have different side effects according on the dosage and mode of administration. Skin irritation and dryness are the most frequent adverse effects of topical acne medications. More severe adverse effects are possible with oral medicines. Antibiotics may cause nausea or vomiting, as well as dizziness and light headedness. It is anticipated that the safety concerns surrounding acne treatment solutions would impede market expansion.

Opportunity:

Increasing awareness

The demand for minimally invasive cosmetic treatment treatments is increasing. Dermatologists would rather use topical treatments or less invasive techniques to address skin conditions than surgical ones. The need for treatments connected to face and skin-related issues is rising as a result of better decision-making, improved patient-physician connections, and well-documented procedures. This has prompted the use of less painful cosmetic combination treatment methods.

Threat:

High cost of treatment

Effective acne treatments can occasionally be costly, particularly when it comes to prescription drugs or procedures like laser therapy. This is a serious drawback for people with little resources or no insurance. Treatments for acne might not be a one-time expense. The overall cost of some procedures is increased by the need for regular maintenance or follow-up appointments. These factors are hampering the growth of the market.

COVID-19 Impact:

The epidemic slowed the rise of acne medications since fewer people worldwide were seeking treatment. Leading companies in the industry experienced significant revenue losses as a result of COVID-19. Drug sales were also impacted by reduced manufacturing, redistributing healthcare spending, broken supply chains, shutting dermatological clinics, and other issues. The rise in acne occurrences linked to extended usage of medical face masks further contributed to the demand for pharmaceuticals.

The therapeutic devices segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The therapeutic devices segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period. The development of therapeutic gadgets for the treatment of acne is propelling this industry's expansion. Reducing the visibility of scars from previous acne episodes is the goal of laser therapy for acne scars. Continuous light therapy is applied to the skin's dermis layer to break up scar tissue and promote the growth of new, healthy skin cells to replace the damaged tissue.

The retinoid segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The retinoid segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Retinoids are now widely used by people to clear their skin of excess oil and dust that has clogged their open pores. The method is a large market sector since it is regarded as safe and has little negative effects. They function by stopping the main cause of acne, dead skin cells, from obstructing pores. By encouraging cell turnover, retinoid production keeps the pores from becoming clogged.

Region with largest share:

North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the region's increasing majority of acne and growing consumer problems related to beauty. The market will grow as a result of the introduction of new products by significant regional companies and a notable increase in the patient population. The market share will increase to a bigger volume as innovative treatments and solutions are used more frequently.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest CAGR over the forecast period due to rising awareness among the population about several drugs combined with the increasing number of companies entering the market. The greatest customer base for a variety of cosmetic goods created to achieve clean skin is found in this region. Due to the climate, hyperpigmentation has also been identified as a significant issue in this area. Moreover, growth would be fueled by consumers' increasing medicine usage over the projection period.
