Alopecia Market
Alopecia Market By Type, By Application, By End-Users, By Distribution Channel, Forecasts to 2027
Market Synopsis
The global alopecia market size was valued at USD 2,650.8 Million in 2019 and is forecasted to reach USD 5,250.8 Million by 2027 at a CAGR of 8.9%. The alopecia market is projected to experience rapid growth attributed to the prevalence of various disease types comprising alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia, alopecia totalis, traction alopecia, and cicatricle alopecia. Factors such as increasing incidence of chronic diseases, rising cases of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), rise in the level of disposable income, and advancements in medical technology for delivering enhanced treatment.
Diseases such as thyroid disorders, cancer, lupus, muscular dystrophy, heavy metal poisoning, pituitary gland disease, sarcoidosis, syphilis in last-stage, and continuing chronic diseases may lead to alopecia. It has been found that about 65.0% of people receiving chemotherapy are likely to suffer from chemotherapy-induced hair loss. In comparison, the deployment of cancer treatment with molecularly targeted agents has been linked with hair loss rates up to a maximum of 60.0%.
Additionally, advancements in technology and usage of emerging therapeutics such as stem cells, cellular pathways, growth factors, and robotic hair transplant, for alopecia, provide ample opportunities to boost the market growth.
However, a low level of awareness about the condition may hamper the market’s growth in the forecast period.Type Insights
By type, alopecia areata accounted for the largest market share of over 31.0% of the alopecia market in 2019
Alopecia areata, a chronic, autoimmune disorder that affects growing hair follicles resulting in nonscarring focal hair loss, has global prevalence. In the US, it affects approximately 6.8 million individuals. In a large number of cases, this condition causes hairs to fall-out in various amounts ranging from small patches to severe hair loss. Occasionally, it may result in total hair loss on the scalp and the whole body in extreme conditions. The disease affects individuals regardless of their gender and age.
The disease’s likely occurrence is about 0.001% of the population and has a lifetime risk of around 2.0%. It may occur in people of all ages, including children and adults, and at more or less the same rate in the male and female population.
Application Insights
By application, men accounted for the largest market share 65.0% of the alopecia market in 2019
Alopecia/hair-loss in men caused several factors, including smoking, consumption of alcoholic beverages, stress, drug abuse, and genetics, among other factors. Male pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia, a hereditary cause of hair loss, may be triggered at any point in a man’s life, including adolescence.
As per a study conducted by the US National Library of Medicine (NLM), over 50.0% of the global male population beyond the age of 50 will experience male pattern baldness to a certain extent.
End-Users Insights
By end-users, dermatology clinics is likely to grow at the fastest rate of 9.5% in the forecast period
Dermatology clinics expert medical professionals trained for diagnosing conditions including skin (scalp) and hair. Dermatologists help find the root cause of hair problems and successfully cure hair-loss in several cases. The high market share of dermatology clinics is due to the rising number of surgeries associated with hair transplantation and restoration and the extensive usage of prescription drugs.
Dermatology clinics possess the expertise to prevent thinning of hairs and boost hair growth. In the US, the FDA has sanctioned minoxidil for the treatment of hair loss and is the only approved hair re-growth product. A dermatologist can incorporate minoxidil with other treatment methods to cure hair loss.
Regional Insights
By region, North America accounted for the largest market share of over 36.0% of the alopecia market in 2019
The North American region’s market dominance is due to the high alopecia incidence, advanced healthcare infrastructure, high per-capita income, and accessibility to innovative treatment options for hair loss. Increased investment in R&D and a rising number of patent approvals in the region are also causatives of market growth.
The market in the Asia Pacific region is projected to grow at the fastest rate of 10.0% in the forecast period attributed to increasing incidence of chronic disorders, growing awareness among the population, especially in people of the young generation, and a rise in the level of disposable income.
