The growth of the market is primarily driven by factors such as increase in the prevalence of fungal toe nail infections in the U.S. and Canada, and rising per capita healthcare expenditure across the globe. Dermatophytic onychomycosis is common in the elderly, with prevalence rates as high as 20% in those over 60 years of age and 30% in those over 70. Thus increasing geriatric population is the most important factor that is expected to drive growth of the dermatophytic onychomycosis therapeutics market over the forecast period. Easy application of nail paints is also expected to drive the demand for dermatophytic onychomycosis therapeutics. Another factor fueling the growth of dermatophytic onychomycosis therapeutics market is the growing preference of dermatophytic onychomycosis therapeutics by podiatrists and dermatologists.
Rise in diagnosis of the nail infection has raised awareness regarding the fungal infection of nails and dermatophytic onychomycosis therapeutics. Besides, increasing awareness regarding dermatophytic onychomycosis therapeutics amongst podiatrists and dermatologists has led to a rise in demand for effective medications. However, adverse effects such as headache, dizziness, nausea, stomach ache, etc., associated with antifungal drugs have made people more skeptical about practicing a systemic therapy for nails. Moreover, the topical agents also causes rash and itchiness in the surrounding skin. These side effects are hampering the acceptance of dermatophytic onychomycosis therapeutics for the treatment of moderate to severe dermatophytic onychomycosis associated with anti-fungal therapeutics. Another factor impeding the growth of dermatophytic onychomycosis therapeutics is lack of awareness regarding dermatophytic onychomycosis therapeutics and dermatophytic onychomycosis itself. There is a general lack of awareness regarding the disease, its possible causes, symptoms etc. People in some African, European, Gulf, and Asian countries are still ignorant about their diseased nails. There is a general perception among patients that the thickened nail would get cured by itself after sometime. Thus, lack of awareness is also a major factor hindering growth of the onychomycosis therapeutics market currently.
Geographically, the global dermatophytic onychomycosis therapeutics market is segmented into five major regions, namely North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa (MEA). North America was the dominant regional market for dermatophytic onychomycosis therapeutics and is expected to follow the same trend over the forecast period. The Europe market for dermatophytic onychomycosis therapeutics is expected to account for second large share followed by Asia Pacific. North America and Europe collectively are expected to account for over 60% share of the global dermatophytic onychomycosis therapeutics market over the forecast period. MEA and Latin America are expected to be the fast-growing regions in the global dermatophytic onychomycosis therapeutics market due to growing healthcare efforts.
