It is highly prevalent and is more commonly known as eczema. Itching, redness of the skin, cracking, weeping, etc., are symptoms, and it is a long-term disease. Low humidity, cold weather, and seasonal allergies are common causes, and the pattern of the disease and its severity determine the kind of treatment it ought to receive. The global atopic dermatitis market encompasses all aspects of the research, development, manufacturing, and commercialization of products and therapies to treat this condition.

MARKET DRIVERS

 Increasing awareness of AD people using herbal medicine, natural ointment, and ultraviolet therapy boosts the market. Medical institutions provide education about AD and its primary treatment at home. In addition, much research will find fast relief for the disease. All these factors drive the market forward. For instance, to bring awareness among European people about AD, World Atopic Eczema Day was initiated in 2018 to increase awareness of the condition internationally and around Europe through an initiative organized by the European Federation of Allergy and Airways Diseases Patient Associations (EFA) and the International Coalition of Dermatology Patient Organizations (Global Skin).

The launch of biologics & small molecules, premium-priced drugs substituting generic first-line and second-line therapeutics, and improved diagnostics are propelling the growth of the global atopic dermatitis market. Growing skin allergies and chronic disorders are expected to accelerate the market’s growth rate. Atopic dermatitis disease severity ranges from patient to patient, and the treatment procedures involve the severity degree. Escalating expenditure on healthcare and the growing popularity of these treatment procedures through digital advertisements accelerate the growth of the global atopic dermatitis market.

The growing government initiatives are offering possibilities to the market participants of the atopic dermatitis market.

Atopic dermatitis (AD), the leading cause of skin-related disease burdens worldwide, is rising in developing countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. Therefore, the governments of respected countries worldwide are taking initiatives to develop and bring awareness among the people about atopic dermatitis. For Instance, The Ministry of Health and Prevention, MoHAP, has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Sanofi Aventis Community and Axios Health Education Programs in which MoHAP will launch a new program named "Ea'nah" (Support) for patients with relapsed multiple sclerosis (RMS) and relapsed-remitting MS (RRMS), patients with mild to extreme eczema (atopic dermatitis) and patients with relapsed multiple sclerosis (RMS).

The growing number of initiatives from various governments is expected to expand the global atopic dermatitis market.

Furthermore, an increasing number of patients suffering from various skin disorders, changes in climatic conditions, and the rise in disposable income in both developed and developing countries are further expected to accelerate the market's growth rate. Besides, the emergence of the latest technologies in the medical sector and the introduction of innovative procedures magnify this market's growth. In addition, the growing incidence of atopic dermatitis in children is expected to boost the market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The lack of skilled healthcare professionals is one of the biggest restraints to the global atopic dermatitis market.

Skilled healthcare personnel are in short supply in under-developing regions. Enough training programs are one of the primary reasons for this shortage. Hence, healthcare facilities often need more skilled doctors to meet the standards of care. The government could provide numerous workforce enticements to improve performance in public-sector hospitals and health centers. Various developed nations address a similar issue by basing reimbursement on capitation and a pay-for-performance model to balance the necessity of expanding service against budget restrictions.

Rising complications and side effects after the treatment procedure in some people hinder the global atopic dermatitis market growth.

In addition, oral medicine can have severe side effects when taken for a more extended period. Furthermore, the need for more skilled people in hospitals and clinics and fluctuations in economic strategies negatively impact the growth rate of the atopic dermatitis market. In addition, less availability of necessary equipment in rural areas remains challenging for the market players. Also, the high cost of treatment procedures due to advanced features is causing the growth rate of this market to decline.
