This market report extensively covers market segmentation by route of administration (oral, topical, and injectable), drug class (biologics, PDE4 inhibitors, corticosteroids, and calcineurin inhibitors), and geography (North America, Europe, Asia, and Rest of World (ROW)). It also includes an in-depth analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges. Furthermore, the report includes historic market data from 2017 to 2021.
The market is driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic inflammatory skin conditions like atopic dermatitis. Novel treatments such as Ruxolitinib Cream and Crisaborole ointment offer targeted therapies, enhancing patient-centric care models. Telemedicine adoption facilitates healthcare access, especially for pediatric patients. However, regulatory complexities pose challenges to market growth. Westernized lifestyles contribute to the rise in disease prevalence, necessitating innovative solutions. Topical corticosteroids remain a cornerstone in treatment, despite concerns about long-term use. Addressing healthcare access disparities and promoting hand hygiene are crucial trends, emphasizing the need for holistic approaches to managing atopic dermatitis. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The high prevalence of atopic dermatitis is the key factor driving the growth of the global atopic dermatitis drugs market. The prevalence of atopic dermatitis is high worldwide. Atopic dermatitis can be caused or exacerbated by several factors, including exposure to allergens such as peanuts, pollen, and animal danger. skin irritants such as household cleaners; certain fabrics or soaps; stress, dry skin, and infections. In the United States alone, approximately 18 million people currently have atopic dermatitis. In the United States, an estimated 9 million to 10 million of her children under the age of 18 suffer from atopic dermatitis, about one-third of whom have moderate to severe disease. Such a large patient pool represents a huge opportunity for the growth of the market.
A large patient cohort requires multiple visits to a dermatologist and the use of numerous medications to treat atopic dermatitis, thus driving the market growth. Asia also hosts a huge patient population with atopic dermatitis, with China, India, and Japan being the top three revenue contributors to the market in the region. Developing countries, such as India and China, present promising market opportunities due to their large population base. According to The World Bank Group, the population of China was 1.42 billion in 2021, while that of India was 1.41 billion in the same year. Therefore, the high prevalence of atopic dermatitis is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The geopolitical uncertainties are the primary trend shaping the global atopic dermatitis drugs market. Trade policy uncertainty between nations creates an unfavorable environment for suppliers regarding investment decisions and long-term growth strategies. For instance, the pharmaceutical landscape is changing rapidly in China, with the presence of large American pharmaceutical corporations such as Pfizer, which has invested over USD 1.5 billion in the country so far. However, the trade dispute between the United States and China has adversely affected the operations of many such drug makers. This standoff has adversely affected the import of eczema medications from China into the United States.
China responded to the aggressive trade policies of the US by increasing the tariff on the imports of atopic dermatitis drugs from China. The ongoing trade war has become a major concern for manufacturers and suppliers engaged in the trade of raw materials, active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), as well as finished drugs in both countries, as they are being taxed at multiple points in the supply chain, which is adversely affecting their revenues. Such uncertainties triggered by bilateral disagreements may negatively impact the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Loss of patents and patent expiry is a major challenge to the growth of the market. Loss or revocation of patents poses a significant threat to large companies that own their own patents. Ultimately, the loss or expiration of patents tends to flood the market with generic drugs, losing competitive advantage and margins for large companies. Generic medicines are medicines that are similar in quality, dosage form, strength, and potency to branded medicines but are available at a lower price. Due to the low-price availability of these generic drugs, increasing penetration of generic drugs will limit the market growth.
Allegations associated with the infringement of patents and other intellectual property rights by third parties affect the business of a pharmaceutical company. The expiry of the patent on branded atopic dermatitis drugs will result in the proliferation of generic drugs in the market, thus reducing the sales of branded drugs, which can negatively affect the business of prominent companies. Thus, this will hinder revenue growth prospects in the market in focus during the forecast period.
