Dermatology devices refer to equipment employed for researching, studying, managing, and diagnosing health conditions affecting the skin, nails, membranes, and fat. Dermatology, as a branch of medicine, deals with diseases related to the skin and encompasses both medical and cosmetic care for skin enhancement. These devices play a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of various skin-related problems.
The primary types of dermatology devices include diagnostic devices, treatment devices, and others. Diagnostic dermatology devices are specifically designed for identifying and diagnosing skin-related problems. Diagnostic devices serve to monitor and diagnose various vital parameters derived from the body, and examples include glucometers, bio-signal recording instruments, patient monitoring systems, pulse oximeters, among others. These devices find applications in skin cancer diagnosis, psoriasis treatment, skin rejuvenation, wart removal, and others. End users of dermatology devices include hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities.
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 increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.
The dermatology devices market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides dermatology devices market statistics, including dermatology devices industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a dermatology devices market share, detailed dermatology devices market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the dermatology devices industry. This dermatology devices market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The dermatology devices market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $15.93 billion in 2024 to $18.25 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased skin health awareness, dermatological conditions prevalence, aging population, increased aesthetic and cosmetic procedures, and skin cancer diagnostics.
The dermatology devices market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $32.52 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to minimally invasive treatments, rising medical tourism, emerging market growth, and increasing research and development activities. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of tele-dermatology services, ai and machine learning applications, personalized dermatology care, advanced laser technologies, and dermatology innovation.
The forecast of 15.5% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through supply chain disruptions for cryotherapy probes and biopsy punch instruments, sourced from key regions such as Germany and Switzerland, which could lead to delayed skin cancer diagnoses and increased costs for dermatological procedures.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 increasing prevalence of skin cancer and other skin diseases is expected to drive the growth of the dermatology devices market. Skin cancer, characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal cells in the outer layer of the skin, poses a significant health concern. Dermatological devices such as light treatment devices, lasers, and electrosurgical equipment are instrumental in removing skin tumors. For instance, in 2022, the American Cancer Society reported approximately 99,780 new melanoma skin cancer cases and around 7,650 deaths in the United States. This rising prevalence underscores the demand for advanced dermatology devices for diagnosis and treatment.
The growing demand for cosmetic dermatology procedures is another factor contributing to the market's growth. Cosmetic dermatology focuses on enhancing appearance through non-surgical treatments like laser therapies, dermal fillers, and skin rejuvenation. The increasing popularity of these procedures fuels the demand for innovative dermatology devices that deliver safe and effective results. In 2023, the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reported over 12.8 million surgical and 17.5 million non-surgical cosmetic procedures globally, reflecting a 19.3% increase from the previous period. The market is responding to the rising interest in cosmetic dermatology by providing advanced devices to meet these demands.
Technological advancements are a significant trend in the dermatology device market. Companies in the sector are actively investing in new technologies to stay competitive. For example, 3Derm Systems, Inc. introduced the 3DermSpot, an algorithm utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) and standardized skin images to autonomously detect melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma. This technological innovation enables faster and more accurate detection of skin cancer, showcasing the ongoing advancements in the field.
Major companies in the dermatology devices market are actively pursuing innovation and leveraging new technologies to enhance their market position and profitability. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being integrated into dermatology devices to improve patient care and enhance the accuracy of skin condition screening. AI is applied in various aspects, including skin condition screening, dermatology assist tools, and computer-aided dermatology AI systems. For instance, in August 2023, Piction Health Inc., a US-based dermatology practice offering virtual dermatology services powered by AI, launched its services in Massachusetts to meet the growing demand. This innovative service utilizes state-of-the-art technology developed at MIT to provide high-quality dermatological care directly to patients, eliminating wait times and out-of-pocket expenses associated with clinic visits. The clinic leverages a vast collection of over 500,000 photographs to enhance efficiency and elevate the standard of care.
In May 2024, Johnson & Johnson (J&J), a US-based corporation specializing in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and medical technologies, acquired Proteologix, Inc. for $850 million. This acquisition allows Johnson & Johnson (J&J) to concentrate on bispecific antibodies for immune-mediated diseases. Proteologix, Inc. is a US-based company that develops devices for dermatology.
