Acne Vulgaris Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034


The 7 major acne vulgaris markets reached a value of US$ 7.0 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the 7MM to reach US$ 10.0 Billion by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.23% during 2024-2034.

The acne vulgaris market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC’s new report titled “Acne Vulgaris Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034”. Acne vulgaris, commonly known as acne, refers to a chronic skin condition characterized by the formation of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. It appears mainly on the face but can also develop on the chest, back, and shoulders. Acne is caused by several factors, such as the overproduction of sebum by the sebaceous glands, accumulation of dead skin cells in the pores, and inflammation. The primary treatment for acne is the use of topical and/or oral medications. Topical treatments assist in unclogging the pores and promoting cell turnover. Certain oral medications, including antibiotics and hormonal therapy, are also prescribed to help control acne. While acne can be treated, it is important to note that it can be a chronic condition requiring ongoing management. Acne can be prevented with proper skincare routines such as keeping the skin clean, avoiding picking or squeezing pimples, and using non-comedogenic products. In addition, lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a healthy diet, can help inhibit the development of acne.

The increasing concerns among individuals about their physical appearance and the escalating awareness regarding skin-related issues like acne are primarily driving the global acne vulgaris market. In addition to this, the rising consumer preference for products infused with natural herbs and organic ingredients, such as aloe vera, honey, green tea, jojoba oil, etc., for treating acne is also propelling the market growth. Moreover, several key players are making extensive investments in developing safer and more advanced treatment drugs with a better understanding of acne pathology. This, in turn, is further creating a positive outlook for the market. Apart from this, the widespread adoption of topical medications, such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, retinoids, etc., which assist in lowering the production of oil and preventing the clogging of pores, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the inflating number of online portals and websites commercializing acne treatment products coupled with the escalating demand for over-the-counter acne drugs is also augmenting the global market. Furthermore, the emerging popularity of light-based and laser therapies, such as blue light therapy and laser resurfacing, which target the bacteria that cause acne and reduce inflammation, is expected to drive the global acne vulgaris market in the coming years.
