Topical Corticosteroids Market Scope and Segmentation  

Market Definition

Corticosteroids are steroid hormones that are produced either naturally or artificially. The adrenal cortex produces these hormones. Topical corticosteroids, hydrocortisone-derived compounds with distinct anti-inflammatory potency, are widely used to treat a wide range of inflammatory diseases. Patients are given synthetic corticosteroids when their bodies or adrenal cortex fail to produce the necessary corticosteroids.

Topical Corticosteroids Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Research and Development Activities

The increasing number of research and development activities related to topical corticosteroids by market players is expected to aid in the growth of the topical corticosteroids (steroids) market over the forecast period. For instance, in April 2022, Eli Lilly and Company, a global healthcare company, announced that Lebrikizumab, an IL-13 inhibitor, significantly improved disease severity when combined with topical corticosteroids (TCS) in people with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in third pivotal Phase 3 trial (ADhere).

• Rising prevalence of skin-related diseases

The rising prevalence of skin-related diseases, such as rashes, dermatitis, itching, eczema, and psoriasis, aided in the growth of the corticosteroid market. According to the Centers for Disease Control, at least 2 million people in the United States are infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria each year, and at least 23,000 people die as a result of such infections. According to a 2019 European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology report, of the 2,701 people polled, 1,662 (64.5%) had at least one skin disorder. The most common diagnoses were rosacea (25.5%), eczema (11.7%), and actinic keratosis (26.6%). Skin disorders increased with age and were more prevalent in men (72.3%) than in women (58.0%). The rising prevalence of such disorders increased the demand for corticosteroids, driving the market.

Opportunities

• Increasing number of cases of eczema and atopic dermatitis

The rising prevalence of eczema and atopic dermatitis is expected to drive the global topical corticosteroids (steroids) market. According to the Allergy & Asthma Network, approximately 31.6 million people in the United States had eczema in 2020, with 15% of children and 7.3% of adults suffering from atopic dermatitis.

Restraints/Challenges

• High costs associated with R&D capabilities

High costs associated with R&D capabilities, limited infrastructural facilities, uneven distribution of medical services, and a lack of awareness in backward economies are expected to hamper the market growth. In addition, a lack of favourable reimbursement scenario and technology penetration in developing economies, a decline in healthcare expenses in advancing countries, rising patent expiry, government pricing pressure, side effects of topical corticosteroids, and a lack of suitable infrastructure in low- and middle-income countries are expected to challenge the market during the forecast period of 2023-2030.
