Market Overview

Dermatology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, and nail diseases. The global dermatological market is expected to grow at a faster pace in the next few years, which is largely attributable to a number of interrelated factors, such as population growth, rising disposable incomes, and expanding health insurance coverage. Several elements related to and provided by the dermatology market have been found to significantly elevate the skin's regenerative capacity and enhance the results of cosmetic procedures. In order to control and alleviate skin disorders, dermatologists, apart from topical drug usage, resort to various systemic treatments. The arena of dermatological therapeutics is gradually becoming more diverse and sophisticated as a result of continuous breakthroughs in medical research and technology. Dermatologists tailor personalised therapy regimens that best fit the characteristics of their patients' skin problems through close collaboration with them.

 

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been instrumental in enhancing the sensitivity and precision of the detection of dermatological problems. One of the significant outcomes of this technology is the potential to create novel and more sophisticated products for the diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders. AI has been deployed across various healthcare functions such as patient identification, risk prediction, disease subtype classification, and disease progression.

 

In December 2025, Alphyn Biologics announced it had closed a $25 million oversubscribed Series B financing round to advance its dermatology pipeline, funding global Phase 2b trials in atopic dermatitis and Phase 2 studies in molluscum contagiosum.

 

In March 2025, L’Oréal Groupe launched the €20 million “Act for Dermatology” programme, a five-year global initiative aimed at increasing access to skin health services. Partnering with the WHO Foundation, the program supports efforts to combat common skin diseases and neglected tropical diseases, addressing the needs of the 2.1 billion people worldwide living with skin conditions.
