The high efficiency of actinic keratosis treatment, the availability of a variety of actinic keratosis treatments worldwide, which provides patients with a variety of options, and the increasing focus of market players on obtaining product approvals for the treatment of actinic keratosis from regulatory bodies are expected to drive the growth of the global actinic keratosis market over the forecast period. The rising number of generic product releases by industry leaders is likely to propel the global actinic keratosis market forward. For example, Perrigo Company plc, a healthcare business, introduced Diclofenac sodium gel, 3% in November 2018, a generic version of Solaraze Gel, 3% (diclofenac sodium gel, 3%). The topical treatment of actinic keratosis with Solaraze Gel, 3% is suggested. The expansion of the global actinic keratosis market is projected to be restricted in the near future due to the negative effects of the treatments used for actinic keratosis. During the projected period, the worldwide actinic keratosis market was negatively impacted by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
According to Coherent Market Insights, global Actinic Keratosis Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 8,070.0 Mn in 2022 and expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.7% over the forecast period (2022-2030).
