Photodynamic Therapy Market Segmented By Photosensitizer Drugs and Devices, Hematoporphyrin derivative, Aminolevulinic acid, Benzoporphyrin derivative, Texaphyrins, Chlorins and Dyes by Product with Basal Cell Carcinoma, Actinic Keratosis Application
The Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) market is primarily dominated by the sales of photosensitizer drugs. As seen in drug development, market players are increasing the complexity of drug molecules to prevent them from being replicated by competitors. Similarly, in the photodynamic therapy market, players offering treatment avenues are seeking innovative routes to the market through the launch of combination products that involve a photosensitizer drug and a device.
Discussions about the market indicate that dermatology is a highly fragmented market with large unmet needs and limited innovations. To cater to these requirements, companies are seeking inorganic routes such as the acquisition of DUSA by Sun Pharmaceutical for US$ 200 Mn.
This acquisition helped Sun Pharmaceutical access DUSA’s patented drug?device combination Levulan, which is useful for photodynamic therapy for the treatment of Actinic Keratosis (AK), psoriasis, and acne.
Thus, the foray of market players into the drug-device combination segment, coupled with increasing product research in light therapy devices, and the high adoption of photosensitizer drugs for photodynamic therapy, are among factors that are estimated to propel the photodynamic therapy market.

The prevalence of various skin diseases, such as actinic keratosis, psoriasis, acne, rosacea, and others, varies across the globe. It depends upon the genetic makeup, skin type, as well as the lifestyle of people in a particular geography.
Australia has the highest prevalence of actinic keratosis, and it has been estimated that 37–55% people in the country are affected with actinic keratosis. In the U.S., actinic keratosis is estimated to affect 10% of females and 26.5% males, while the prevalence of actinic keratosis in the UK is 15% in males and 6% in females. Thus, the growing prevalence of actinic keratosis is a significant factor that is projected to drive the revenue growth of the photodynamic therapy market over the forecast period.
Furthermore, psoriasis is among the common dermatology disorders and is the most prevalent autoimmune disease in the U.S. As per American Academy of Dermatology, as of 2017, 2.1% of the overall U.S. population suffered from psoriasis, which accounted for approximately 7.0 million psoriasis cases.
Thus, the increasing prevalence of skin disorders is expected to promote the adoption of photodynamic therapy, which is expected to boost revenue growth in the global photodynamic therapy market.

Hence, in case cryotherapy or topical treatment fails, physicians mostly prescribe photodynamic therapy over conventional treatments. Aminolevulinic acid is applied as a medication on the infected part of the skin, which is later is activated using a blue light source or an intense pulsed light source.
At present, LEVULAN KERASTICK launched by Sun Pharmaceutical, Ameluz manufactured by Biofrontera, and Metvix offered by Galderma are among the major products that are commercially available in the photodynamic therapy market.
These popular brands are estimated to gain majority of the market share over the forecast period. This is also expected to create an opportunity for other dermatology product manufacturers to launch cost-effective products for photodynamic therapy to boost their revenue and strengthen their foothold in the market.
Thus, limited competition in the photodynamic therapy market allows key manufacturers to strengthen their businesses by bringing innovative and upgraded phototherapy solutions in the market, thereby driving the global photodynamic therapy market.
