Inc., Pfizer Inc., Taisho Pharmaceutical Holdings Co. Ltd, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., among many others.
Challenges and Opportunities: The challenges consist of the exorbitant expenses linked to specific treatments, restricted insurance coverage, and possible adverse reactions to specific interventions. The alopecia treatment market recent opportunities include technical developments that offer efficient and minimally invasive treatments and the expansion of market reach through focused marketing and awareness efforts.
Increasing Prevalence of Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is a prevalent form of patterned hair loss that is seen in men and women. As per the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology International (JAAD) published survey in 2023, alopecia affects different racial and gender groups differently, 15% of postmenopausal women and over 50% of elderly males experience it, while thinning hair can begin as early as puberty. Besides this, one of the main factors driving the alopecia treatment market forward is the rising prevalence of alopecia, which includes inherited hair loss and disorders like alopecia areata. The National Alopecia Areata Foundation estimates that 6.7 million Americans and about 160 million individuals worldwide have alopecia areata or may acquire it. Currently, alopecia areata affects about 700,000 persons in the United States. Furthermore, alopecia areata affects about 2% of people worldwide, underscoring the disorder's widespread prevalence that causes hair loss. As per the alopecia treatment market overview, demand in the industry is rising as more individuals become aware and look for efficient treatment solutions. Therefore, people are resorting to medical aid for hair restoration due to advances in medical technology and a wide range of treatment options accessible, leading to a considerable expansion in the market for alopecia therapy.
Rising Healthcare Expenditure
The escalating healthcare expenditure worldwide is a pivotal factor driving the growth trajectory of the alopecia treatment market. Global healthcare spending increased by 21% on average in 2020. This number has increased even further by 2021, when it was a startling 25% higher than in 2019. Moreover, the per capita health spending increased in most peer countries between 2021 and 2022. A moderate 2.9% growth in per capita health spending was reported in the US, Australia (2.4%), Canada (0.7%), and the UK (0.5%). Among the countries for whom data was available, Belgium experienced the largest growth in per capita health spending, rising 9.6% between 2021 and 2022. Notably, developed nations show an especially notable increase in healthcare spending, indicating the willingness of individuals to spend money on cutting-edge medical treatments, such as alopecia treatments. Hence, the growing financial capacity and increased disposable income, allow more people to afford alopecia treatments, thus contributing to the market growth.
Growing Aesthetic Consciousness
Furthermore, the growing emphasis on physical appearance and aesthetic consciousness among individuals globally is significantly contributing to the expansion of the alopecia treatment market. A survey conducted by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) revealed that ISHRS members treated on average 165 surgical patients and 396 non-surgical patients. Moreover, ISHRS members performed surgical procedures between 0-199 hair restoration in 2021 by around two-thirds (65%) of ISHRS members, with an average member performing 179 procedures, while 78% of ISHRS members performed 0-19 hair restoration surgical operations. Members completed an average of 14 hair restoration surgical procedures per month in 2021. As a result, this rising figure illustrates increased self-consciousness among individuals about their appearance, which is exacerbated by social media's effect and the representation of ideal beauty standards. The need to adhere to perceived aesthetic ideals and cultural pressures has resulted in a noteworthy demand for effective hair restoration options. Consequently, the market for alopecia treatments is growing as more people look for ways to improve their physical appearance and deal with their hair loss issues.
