The global teledermatology market size is expected to be worth USD 25.99 billion by 2029 from USD 12.30 billion in 2024, growing at a CAGR of 16.14% from 2024 to 2029.
The number of people suffering from dermatological issues has been growing continuously due to factors such as changes in lifestyle and habits and an increasing aging population. The growing patient population of dermatological diseases has resulted in an increased demand for dermatological treatment solutions, which has become a big plus to the teledermatology market. The growing use of the internet and telecommunication services has resulted in an increased demand for the teledermatology market as people are more comfortable getting consulted via video conferencing or voice calling. Teledermatology saves time and costs associated with traveling and appointments. People with a disability or a hectic schedule can get a consultation and get the skin care treatment they require from the comfort of their homes, as some people can be self-conscious about going out. The rapid advancements in technology, such as high-resolution cameras, artificial intelligence, machine learning and virtual reality, further fuel the growth rate of the teledermatology market.
Bandwidth and connectivity issues are key issues restricting the growth of the teledermatology market. The teledermatology market targets remote areas where there is a lack of skilled dermatologists; remote areas often do not have access to higher bandwidth and internet speed, and network coverage due to poor infrastructure and high cost of implementation. The doctor-patient relationship is based on trust and face-to-face interaction which further affects the growth of the teledermatology market. Dermatologists might not be able to give the most optimum treatment as dermatologists won't be able to physically analyze the skin and symptoms through online mediums. The threat of security breaches and privacy concerns regarding the patient's sensitive data impedes the growth of the global market.
