Sales Analysis of the Global Market from 2016 to 2022 Vs Market Outlook for 2023 to 2033

The global market for acne treatment recorded a historic CAGR of 4.4% in the last 6 years from 2016 to 2022.

Worldwide, early start of acne vulgaris is being influenced by late fertility, childbirth, and cyclically early puberty in teenagers. The average age at which acne vulgaris first appears has dropped from 14-15 to 11-12 years. Additionally, the media's growing negative influence is encouraging a bad habit of self-medication. According to estimates, 20% of children (under the age of 13) suffer from moderate-to-severe acne, and the severity of the condition is highly correlated with pubertal development. Obesity and distorted eating behaviors, such as fried and ready-to-eat meals among school-aged children, are also thought to contribute to acne vulgaris.

The use of various OTC (over-the-counter) products is being driven by rising disposable income levels globally, primarily as a means of treating acne and enhancing physical appearance. The benefit is that rising patient demand for over-the-counter drugs increases market revenues as a whole. A typical OTC product costs between $150 and $500 USD. A cosmetic laser treatment for acne typically costs between $150 and $350. Accessibility to these services and products is a major factor in development of the market.

Growing demand for acne treatment products is being fueled by an increase of dermatological clinics around the world, particularly in Thailand, India, and South Korea. Optimizing adherence and outcomes is more likely to occur when effective yet well-tolerated regimens with straightforward doses that suit patient lifestyles are designed. The key factors anticipated to drive the revenue growth of the acne treatment market are the accessibility of well skilled doctors who can effectively include patients in treatment designing.

Increased marketing results in increased product sales. Along with radio and TV commercials, celebrity endorsements of top companies' products have a tendency to affect target customers' inclination to buy. In order to increase their market share, players in the industry are therefore spending more money on sales, marketing, and advertising in addition to R&D projects.

The global market is thus likely to show high growth over the coming years at a CAGR of 5.8% and reach a global market size of US$ 11.9 Bn by 2033.

What Factors Will Drive the Market to Grow Over Forecast Period?

Rising uptake of combination treatments

Combination acne treatments are becoming more popular, which opens up with potential increased sales. Targeting several pathogenic variables is made easier by combination products like benzoyl peroxide + antibiotic and retinoid + antibiotic. According to research, benzoyl peroxide 2.5% + clindamycin is just as effective as benzoyl peroxide 5% + clindamycin at treating non-inflammatory lesions. Through direct sales tactics used by manufacturers to practitioners, the usage of combination therapies can be expanded. This can encourage revenue growth.

“Increasing demand for faster treatment and quicker results”

The demand for equipment-based therapies like lasers is anticipated to increase as patients desire quicker treatments and effective results. Laser treatments eliminate problems permanently and reduce the likelihood of developing new ones, such as more facial hair growth and pigmentation disorders. Additionally, laser treatments are less unpleasant than other types, which makes it simpler for patients to adapt. For instance, medical professionals advise using combination therapy, such as combining a topical antibiotic with a retinoid, to permanently reduce the occurrence of acne.

“Expansion of formulated range of product lines”

To improve the revenue base from topical acne treatment medicines, manufacturers are offering a wider range of Rx-formulated products. Customers' rejection of the "one size fits all" strategy is the main reason why this is happening. Companies must manufacture at least eight to ten variations of products, for instance, moisturizers based on the type of skin, the geography, the potency of the active ingredients, etc. Greater product personalization and increased demand for the product among the patient will develop the acne treatment market.

Is there Any Impact on the Growth of the Acne Treatment Market?

Lack of long-term efficacy”

According to the AAD, there is a serious lack of long-term product efficacy studies and data, which causes consumers to stop using certain products. Furthermore, due to prejudice brought on by a biased selection of the clinical trial population, differences in skin types, etc., the lack of data also causes a knowledge gap between regional research forums. The company's product R&D is hampered by the lack of long-term data since scientists have a narrow view of the feasibility of their products. In developed markets, where customers and patients typically conduct their own research before deciding to purchase a therapy or product, this also tends to have an impact on the depth of product penetration.

“Adverse Side Effects Related Different Acne Treatment Products”

Depending on the medication, different acne treatments have different side effects.

The most common harmful effects of topical acne medications are dryness and irritation of the skin. As the body adjusts to the drug, these symptoms frequently get worse. One should see a doctor if their skin is really itchy, burning, or peeling. For oral drugs, there may be more severe adverse effects. Antibiotics may cause stomach discomfort or make you feel faint and dizzy. One should use a backup birth control method if the person is also taking birth control pills. Some antibiotics decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills' ability to prevent pregnancy.
