The huge requirement for safe and stable drugs that require minimal monitoring is the key factor driving the growth of the global market. Most drugs used is dermatology are associated with neuropsychiatric side effects. Because they are dose and duration-dependent and hence require systematic monitoring to identify adverse effects. Rational drug use is conventionally defined as the use of appropriate, effective, safe, and cost-effective treatments in recommended dosages and formulations for appropriate indications and for the required duration. Rational prescription by the dermatologist involves defining the illness, specifying therapy objectives, using personalized treatment, initiating treatment, providing information to patients, and monitoring the patient.
Since most available dermatological drugs require repeated and long-term use, the term rational prescription may not be valid. The stability of most dermatological drugs also varies depending on the climate. For instance, extreme climatic conditions can reduce the potency of drugs, with some drugs degrading faster than others. Hence, there is a need for drugs that show sufficient chemical, physical, and microbial stability in varied climatic conditions. Such an increase in demand for HA-based dermatological drugs, in turn, is expected to drive hyaluronic acid market growth.
Increasing acquisitions and joint ventures is the primary trend in the global market. Regional and global players are operating in the global HA market by forming strategic alliances and partnerships. The manufacturer has expanded its product portfolio through strategic alliances to meet the growing demand for HA from pharmaceutical industries such as dermatology, orthopedics, and surgical adhesion prevention. For instance, in March 2022, AbbVie Inc. acquired Syndesi Therapeutics to expand AbbVie's neuroscience portfolio. AbbVie now has access to Syndesi's portfolio of new modulators of the synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A), including its flagship product SDI-118.
The mechanism is now being studied for its possible application in the treatment of cognitive impairment and other symptoms associated with a variety of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative illnesses, including Alzheimer's disease and major depressive disorder. Such M&A activities help companies to expand their product portfolios and geographical presence and enhance product development, which will boost hyaluronic acid market growth during the forecast period.
Rising raw material prices are a major challenge to the growth of the global market. Producing HA requires raw materials such as essential oils, plant extracts, chemicals, syrups, and vitamins. HA comes from natural plant-based sources such as soybeans and wheat, and it also comes from animal sources such as rooster combs. In addition, raw materials such as essential oils and plant extracts are being used more and more in various products such as pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, resulting in rising prices in Europe and the United States.
Thus, the cost of production incurred by HA manufacturers is increasing because manufacturers from other industries are also procuring the raw materials. This will negatively impact the profit margins of the companies, and as a result, companies are increasing the prices of their offerings. Such factors are expected to negatively impact hyaluronic acid market growth during the forecast period.
