Analyst Review

Acne is a skin disease caused due to the dead skin cells, oil excreted from the skin, and clogged hair follicles. It is most common in teenagers and can continue into adulthood mainly affecting the women. According to various studies, it is estimated that average age of onset of acne is 11 to 15 years, owing to changes in demographics and social habits. Several acne treatment options are developed among which acne medications are employed for treatment of mild to severe acne cases. These medications include topical tretinoin, benzoyl peroxide, adapalene, or salicylic acid, and oral type such as tetracycline, erythromycin, minocycline, doxycycline, clindamycin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Growth in patients suffering from acne vulgaris, especially teenagers, is the major factor that drives growth of the global acne medication market. Other factors such as rise in demand for skin care products and unhealthy urban lifestyle are expected to have a significant impact on growth of the market. However, factors such as side effects associated with acne drugs and presence of alternative treatment options such as laser, hamper the market growth.
