The dermatitis market is expected to grow to $7.75 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 4.9%. Growth in the atopic dermatitis market is primarily driven by the increasing global prevalence of the disease. The prevalence of dermatitis in children is estimated to be around 15-20% while it is 1-3% in adults. The rising cases of food allergies are adding to the prevalence of dermatitis which ultimately leads to the increase in demand for the medicines to cure this disease. For example, according to the allergy asthma network 2020, approximately 31.6 million people in the United States have some form of atopic dermatitis. The prevalence of atopic dermatitis globally in children have 15-20 percent and in adults have 1 to 3 percent. The strict government regulations are one of the restraints for the dermatitis drug market. Atopic Dermatitis (eczema) usually occurs at a very early stage (0-5 years). To find the efficacy and efficiency of the drug, it has to be tried on every type of patient. The effects of certain drugs in adults are quite different than in children, as a reasonable result of the clinical trial cannot be used for the production of drugs that will be served to the children. This hinders the research and requires more effort in clearing regulations set by FDA. For example, as the patient population is largely children, the FDA in its CFR Code Title 21, Part 50 Protection of Human Subjects, and subpart D has laid down guidelines for the additional safeguard for children in clinical investigation. The regulation complies with the Children’s Health Act of 2000 which requires all children subjected to clinical trials to be given additional protection.

Anti-Asthmatic and COPD Drugs Definition

The anti-asthmatics and COPD drugs market consists of sales of anti-asthmatics and COPD drugs by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that manufacture anti-asthmatics and COPD drugs which are used to prevent and treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The anti-asthmatics and COPD drug industry includes establishments that manufacture anti-asthmatics and COPD drugs such as bronchodilators, anti-inflammatory drugs, monoclonal antibodies and combination drugs. Asthma is a condition that causes the airways in the body to narrow and swell and generate extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult, resulting in coughing, wheezing on exhalation and shortness of breath. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes airflow obstruction in the lungs. Breathing difficulties, cough, mucus production and wheezing are all symptoms.
