As healthcare continues to evolve towards personalized and accessible solutions, the market for dermatology diagnostic devices navigates opportunities amidst the complexities of chronic diseases and cardiovascular disorders. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Increasing demand for advanced dermatology diagnostic services is the key factor driving the growth of the market. The demand for advanced dermatological diagnostics has increased significantly in both developed and developing countries. The introduction of dermoscopy for diagnosing skin diseases has simplified the diagnostic approach and made it easier for physicians to use, especially for less experienced physicians. Technological advances in the field of dermatological diagnostic devices focus on improving the accuracy and sensitivity of detection mechanisms.
Moreover, the availability of a diagnostic device that can synchronize with an individual smartphone makes the whole experience convenient. There are numerous mobile applications currently available in the market for screening and tracking skin conditions. The need to satisfy this demand has led to the entry of new companies into the market. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The emergence of 3D imaging technology is the primary trend in the market. 3D imaging plays a central role in telemedicine, especially in rural areas of developing countries. The use of AI in imaging technology has changed the landscape of dermatology and improved how melanoma and other skin cancers are diagnosed. It provides real-time images, and sequential digital dermatoscopy helps dermatologists take the correct approach to treat skin disorders.
Moreover, 3D imaging can also be used to monitor the change in lesion volume, height, or width, which can be useful to measure the effect of therapy on clinical lesions such as acne lesions or scars. Additionally, 3-Dimensional imaging and printing technologies can be harnessed to create face coverings and shields for the dermatology outpatient setting during the time of COVID-19. Thus, these advanced technologies will boost the growth of the global dermatological diagnostic devices market during the forecast period.
High equipment and maintenance costs are a major challenge to the growth of the market. Diagnosis of skin diseases is expensive due to the equipment and reagents required for testing. Also, trained technicians are considered the cost of data analysis, and interpretation is highly needed in diagnostic procedures. For instance, the cost of an image scanner device varies from USD 850 - USD 1,100. Also, the number of imaging scans is dependent on the type, brand, and quality of the dermatoscope. The expenditure for skin diseases includes physician visits, hospital care, prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, as well as indirect costs due to productivity losses.
Nowadays, the introduction of information technology (IT) in diagnostic procedures has provided an easier way to manage medical data. The use of advanced processors, connectivity, and cloud computing in medical equipment has facilitated diagnostic procedures with an increase in cost. Advancements in technologies has resulted in the increased cost of diagnostic devices, which can negatively influence the market growth during the forecast period.
