The global radiodermatitis market size is expected to reach USD 557.1 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2023 to 2030. The market is expected to grow at an unprecedented rate owing to the growing prevalence of cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. The unmet medical needs of patients in both emerging and developed nations are another factor that increases the demand for radiodermatitis treatment. As the prevalence of diabetes and obesity increases, these individuals are more likely to suffer from cancer. This factor is probably going to increase the cases of radiodermatitis and increase the need for radiation therapy. Furthermore, higher consumption of alcohol and smoking are additional cancer risk factors, which will certainly increase demand for radiodermatitis medications.
The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on the radiodermatitis market. Various regions imposed restrictions or lockdowns of varying severity implemented to curb the pandemic, with different outcomes.Globally, many cancer centers have reported substantial decreases in the number of patients diagnosed with and treated for cancer during the pandemic. Hospitals across the globe have decreased radiotherapy treatment as there was a shift to support the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with the ease of the restrictions by the 3rd quarter of 2020, radiotherapy treatment started to increase which resulted in the growth of the radiodermatitis market.
Asia Pacific dominated the overall market in terms of revenue and growth rate during the forecast period. The presence of increasing cancer research activities, advancing healthcare infrastructure, and expenditure are some of the factors responsible for garnering a greater share of the segment. As a result of unmet patient needs, Asia Pacific is also likely to have profitable expansion over the course of the projection period. The market's second-largest share was accounted for by North America. The increasing incidence of radiation burns along with the high demand for skin grafts and substitutes is expected to further drive the growth of this market.
