Cystic Acne Market Overview


The Cystic Acne market is projected to reach USD 13,532.4 Million by 2030 at 8.4% CAGR during the forecast period 2022-2030.

Cystic acne is the most serious type of acne, it is the type of skin condition wherein the pores of the skin get blocked, which leads to infection or inflammation of the affected area of the skin. Sometimes bacteria get trapped inside the pore and swell the infected skin area. It happens when the infection went deep into the skin and spread throughout the body. Although bacterium (P. acne bacteria) causes the cystic acne, which also causes papules, pustules, and such others, Cystic acne lesions are one of the most difficult acne to treat. These lesions are more painful and have a risk of scarring the skin and causing a permanent damage as compared to mild or moderate acne.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, around 50 million Americans get affected annually with acne, and it is the most common skin condition in the Americas. Additionally, approximately 85% of people between the ages of 12 and 24 experience at least minor acne.

Rising prevalence of this conditions both in developed and developing countries is driving the cystic acne market growth. The skin care industry and research laboratories are involved in research and development to provide the better treatment. According to Leon H. Kircik, M.D., clinical associate professor of dermatology at Indiana University School of Medicine, recent research on severe and moderate acne patients with inflammatory acne helps to confirm the strength and efficacy of fixed-dose combination gel adapalene/benzoyl peroxide 0.3%/2.5%.

The factors that cause cystic acne are too much oil production in the glands of the skin and growth of the bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes. Moreover, advancing technology in healthcare is adding fuel to the growth of the market. However, effective treatments are not available in the market, which may hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
