Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition marked by redness, itching, dryness, and irritation. It results from a combination of genetic and environmental factors, leading to a weakened skin barrier and an overactive immune response. While eczema can affect individuals of all ages, it is more common in children. The condition often occurs in flare-ups triggered by allergens, irritants, stress, or climate changes.
The primary types of eczema include atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and other variations. Atopic dermatitis, commonly referred to as eczema, is a chronic skin disorder characterized by itchy, red, and inflamed skin, often aggravated by allergens, irritants, or stress. Treatment options for eczema include topical treatments, oral medications, biologics, and phototherapy. The condition affects various age groups, including children, adults, and the elderly, and is managed across different healthcare settings such as hospitals, clinics, dermatology centers, home care, and pharmacies.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.

The eczema market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $16.41 billion in 2024 to $17.76 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of autoimmune diseases, rising eczema cases, increasing approvals from authorities, rising incidences of air pollutants, and increasing burden of allergic reactions.
The eczema market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $24.15 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for treatment atopic dermatitis, increasing operational activities, increasing awareness of eczema, increasing incorporation of biologics, increasing adoption of telemedicine platform. Major trends in the forecast period include strategic collaboration, emerging therapies, injectable drugs, and personalized medicine.
The forecast of 8.0% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff barriers are expected to hamper treatment access by raising costs of JAK inhibitors and biologic creams imported from the UK and Denmark, worsening chronic skin condition management. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rising prevalence of autoimmune disorders is expected to drive the expansion of the eczema market in the coming years. Autoimmune disorders occur when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, tissues, or organs, leading to inflammation and damage. The growing incidence of these conditions is linked to genetic susceptibility, environmental factors, infections, dietary changes, and lifestyle influences such as stress and exposure to pollutants. Autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis are associated with dysregulated immune responses, increasing the likelihood of eczema and other inflammatory skin conditions. For example, in November 2024, Versorgungsatlas.de, a Germany-based organization, reported that in 2022, out of 73,241,305 insured individuals, 6,304,340 were diagnosed with at least one autoimmune disease, resulting in a raw prevalence rate of 8.61%. Consequently, the increasing prevalence of autoimmune disorders is fueling the growth of the eczema market.
Leading companies in the eczema market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as advanced eczema care creams, to improve treatment effectiveness and meet the growing demand for specialized skincare solutions.

Additionally, the formulations contain colloidal oatmeal (1.0%), a key ingredient known for soothing irritation and maintaining skin moisture.
In May 2024, Johnson & Johnson, a US-based pharmaceutical company, acquired Proteologix Inc. for approximately $850 million.
