Topical Skin Infection Treatment Market Overview
Skin infections are caused by various pathogens, including bacteria causing cellulitis and impetigo, and viruses responsible for warts and shingles, among others. Common symptoms of a skin infection are swelling, pain, rashes, pus, redness, and itching. The rising cases of skin infections are one of the key drivers of the topical skin infection treatment market, pushing the demand for over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription topical treatments. The growing awareness of skin infections and the growth in online channels are expected to elevate the market value. Further, the rising consumer inclination towards natural and organic treatments for skin infections are likely to expand the product range and stimulate market innovation during the forecast period.
Key Findings
- Recent data suggests that skin conditions affect around 1.8 billion individuals at any point in time. The increasing burden of skin infections is one of the primary factors driving the market demand for topical treatments.
- In December 2023, ZORYVE (roflumilast) topical foam, 0.3%, a once-daily steroid-free foam developed by an early commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company Arcutis Biotherapeutics, Inc., was granted approval by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis, a non-contagious skin condition, in patients aged 9 years and above. The surge in the regulatory approvals of innovative topical treatments is set to fuel market growth.
