Dermatology Devices Market Drivers
Rising burden of skin diseases globally is driving the Dermatology Devices Market
As of 2020, skin diseases were ranked as the fourth most common cause of human illness, resulting in an enormous non-fatal burden. The Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venerology claims that the prevalence rate is actually higher, and growing on a regular basis. Skin disorders also cause a large amount of non-fatal impairment around the world, particularly in resource-poor areas. Furthermore, according to an AAD study, one out of every four persons suffers from skin illness, with nearly 30% of those who do seek treatment from dermatologists. The need for dermatological devices such as lasers, imaging systems, and light-based devices has increased as the incidence of skin diseases has increased, propelling the Dermatology Devices Market ahead.
Growing percentage of the geriatric population will push the Dermatology Devices Market forward
As per a study by the United Nations, there were over 700 million people aged 65 and above in 2020. The study also states that the figure will surpass 1.5 billion within 2050. According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), the geriatric population would account for about 20% of the global population by 2030. Geriatric dermatology is receiving more attention as a result of the growing tendency of an aging population in various nations throughout the world. Elderly people are predisposed to specific dermatological illnesses such as skin infections and malignant skin growths, which require rapid treatment, due to numerous senile changes in the skin. The high prevalence among the geriatric population is helping the Dermatology Devices Market grow.
Dermatology Devices Market Challenges
Side Effects arising from Dermatological treatment may hamper the growth of the Dermatology Devices Market
Dermatology necessitates the use of a variety of medications and devices. Lasers and light-based technologies for example are essential in an aesthetic dermatology practice. The rising popularity of these devices, however has been accompanied by a rapid rise in the number of complications. These can occur as a result of user error or as a result of issues in patients, such as hormone imbalance or poor sunscreen application. Furthermore, some novel approaches, such as Red-Light Therapy, haven't been well researched sufficiently to identify potential side effects and health risks. Short-term side effects such as post-operative discomfort, redness, and edema have also been constant throughout the years. According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, acne is the most common skin condition in the United States, affecting up to 50 million Americans annually. These complications may be off-putting to the general public, and thereby hamper the market's progress.
