Rise in Prevalence of Skin Diseases to Drive Global Photodynamic Therapy Market
- Rise in the prevalence of skin diseases, worldwide, is projected to drive the global photodynamic therapy market during the forecast period.
- Acne is considered one of the most common skin conditions in the U.S., which affects over 50 million people in the country every year. Its prevalence is known to be higher among women, affecting over 15% of the total population of adult women.
- Psoriasis is known to affect over 7.5 million people in the U.S. every year, with a higher rate of prevalence among people aged between 45 and 64 years.
- This significant rise in the prevalence of skin diseases and the economic burden of these diseases generate high demand for photodynamic therapy, which is a cost-effective option.
Photosensitizers Drugs Dominate Global Photodynamic Therapy Market
- Increase in the number of clinical trials for the development of new photosensitizers, rise in the number of market players strengthening their research and development activities, and increase in expenditure on new drug development are various factors expected to drive the drugs segment during the forecast period.
- In September 2018, Health Canada approved the clinical trial application (CTA) filed by Theralase Technologies Inc., allowing clinical study evaluation of Theralase’s lead anti-cancer drug, i.e. TLD-1433.
Cancer the Most Prominent Application in Photodynamic Therapy Market
- In terms of application, the global photodynamic therapy market has been segmented into cancer, actinic keratosis (AK), psoriasis, acne, and others. The cancer segment is further categorized into basal cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, head & neck cancer, and others.
- The cancer segment accounted for a major share of the global market in 2018, and is likely to continue its dominance during the forecast period.
- Growth of the cancer segment can be attributed to increase in the incidence of various types of cancer, such as head & neck cancer, basal cell carcinoma, breast cancer, and lung cancer.

- Leading players operating in the global photodynamic therapy market have received drug patents for their newly developed molecules, having potential use in the treatment of cancer. In October 2019, Theralase Technologies Inc. was granted a patent in Europe for its anti-cancer light-activated photodynamic compounds (PDCs).
Hospitals a Promising End User of Global Photodynamic Therapy Market
- In terms of end user, the global photodynamic therapy market has been categorized into hospitals, cosmetics & dermatology clinics, cancer treatment centers, and others.
- The cosmetics & dermatology clinics segment is likely to gain significant market share by 2027. Growth of this segment can be attributed to surge in the demand for photodynamic therapy lasers for use in the treatment of skin conditions such as psoriasis and acne across the globe, and patient preference for treatment in hospitals.
North America to Dominate Global Photodynamic Therapy Market
- In terms of region, the global photodynamic therapy market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. North America is projected to account for a leading share of the global photodynamic therapy market during the forecast period, owing to the presence of key players in the U.S., increase in the demand for new biologics for cancer treatment, high adoption of photodynamic therapy, and new product launches by market players.
- In January 2019, Biofrontera AG received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and earlier, from the European Medicines Agency (EMA), for up-scaling of the batch size for the production of Ameluz to 35 kilograms from the previous 7 kilograms. Increase in the batch size enabled the company to improve its production capabilities, thereby meeting the increasing demand for drugs.
Growth Strategies of Key Players
- Key players operating in the global photodynamic therapy market are Biofrontera AG, Theralase Technologies Inc., Lumibird, Quest PharmaTech Inc., Modulight, Inc., Galderma Laboratories L.P. (Nestlé), Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., and SUS Advancing Technology Co., Ltd.
