Advancement in the Skin Treatment to Bring New and Profitable Opportunities for Scar Treatment Market
There
are several different types of scar treatment, ranging from the very simple to
the highly complex. Chemical peel or microdermabrasion is one of the popular
treatments to remove old acne scars and improve the look of wrinkles,
discoloration, fine lines, and even sun damage. Non-surgical laser treatment is
another option that helps to get rid of the appearance of age spots, and other
marks that have appeared due to sun damage or illness. Scar treatment can also
be used to treat superficial skin discolorations like birthmarks, age spots,
and skin cancers
The
high prevalence of skin disease around the globe is driving the growth
of scar treatment market. According to the American Academy of
Dermatology Association, acne is the most common skin condition in the United
States, affecting up to 50 million Americans annually. Around 85 percent of
people between the ages of 12 and 24 experience at least minor acne. Atopic
dermatitis affects up to 25 percent of children and 2 to 3 percent of adults.
Moreover, advancement in skin treatment is another key factor boosting the
growth of the scar treatment market. Growing awareness regarding skin treatment
among consumers is driving demand for skin treatment products. This is further
anticipated to propel the growth of the scar treatment market over the forecast
period.
The
Asia Pacific has projected to gain significant growth over the forecast period
and this is attributed to the increasing focus of manufacturers to introduce
innovative scar treatment products for improving efficacy. For instance, in February
2020, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries has launched Absorica LD capsules used for
the management of severe nodular acne in the US market
