Dermatophytic Onychomycosis is a dermatophytic invasion of the nail plate. The condition primarily occurs in adults, most commonly those over 60 years of age. Occlusive footwear, exposure to damp places such as locker rooms and dissemination of various strains of fungus may lead to Dermatophytic Onychomycosis. The global dermatophytic onychomycosis treatment market is estimated to account for US$ 7,851.4 Mn in terms of value by the end of 2027.
Global Dermatophytic Onychomycosis Treatment Market: Drivers
Increasing R&D of new therapies for the treatment of Dermatophytic Onychomycosis is expected to boost growth of the global dermatophytic onychomycosis treatment market over the forecast period. For instance, Dong-A ST Co., Ltd. is assessing the antifungal efficacy and safety of Jublia topical solution for the treatment of mild or moderate onychomycosis due to dermatophyte. The study is expected to be competed in December 31, 2019.
Global Dermatophytic Onychomycosis Treatment Market: Opportunities
Laser therapy has proved to be a novel alternative treatment for toenail onychomycosis. It offers minimal to no risk of side effects. Laser therapy is applied to toenail onychomycosis by shining a laser light through the toenail into the tissue below. The laser light vaporizes the fungus and does not harm the skin and surrounding healthy tissue. Therefore, key players in the market can focus on developing laser therapy for the treatment of dermatophytic onychomycosis.
Global Dermatophytic Onychomycosis Treatment Market: Restraints
Medication-driven treatments for toenail fungus may lead to liver toxicity, which is expected to hinder growth of the global dermatophytic onychomycosis Treatment market.
Key Takeaways:
The topical treatment segment in the global dermatophytic onychomycosis treatment market was valued at US$ 2,713.0 Mn in 2018 and is expected to reach US$ 6,086.0 Mn by 2027 at a CAGR of 9.5% during the forecast period. The growth of the segment is attributed to increasing incidence of toenail onychomycosis and increasing research and development of topical medications. The independent pharmacies segment held dominant position in the global dermatophytic onychomycosis treatment market in 2018, accounting for 50% share in terms of volume, followed by hospitals and clinics, respectively. Increasing number of independent pharmacies in developed and developing economies is anticipated to assist the segment growth during the forecast period.
