Vitiligo is a disease that causes loss of skin colour in patches. The discoloured areas usually get bigger with time. The condition usually affects the skin on any part of the body. It can also affect hair and the inside of the mouth. The colour of hair and skin is determined by melanin. Melanin is a natural skin pigment; skin, eye, and hair color in people and animal depends on type and amount of melanin. Vitiligo occurs, when cells that produce melanin stop functioning. The condition is not life- threatening or transferable. There are two major categories of vitiligo disease such as segmental vitiligo and non-segmental vitiligo. Some of the major symptoms of vitiligo disease includes patchy loss of skin colour, which mostly appears on hands and face. Premature whitening of the hair on your scalp or eyebrows. Loss in the colour inside the mouth. Vitiligo disease can be treated by medications such as calcineurin inhibitors, corticosteroids, Psoralens. Vitiligo disease is also treated by surgery.

Market Dynamics

Agreement and collaboration by major players to develop drug is expected to propel growth of the global vitiligo drug market during the forecast period. For instance, in October 2018, Boston Pharmaceutical announced the agreement with GlaksoSmith Kline for development of phase 1 pipeline drug GSK3183475, a small molecule inhibitor used in treatment of vitiligo and psoriasis.

However, alternative therapies for vitiligo treatment is expected to limit the market growth. For instance, combination therapy of psoralen and light therapy. The treatment combines the use of a plant- derived molecule called psoralen and light therapy for treating vitiligo. The patient is exposed to ultraviolet light after ingesting psoralen. The total span of treatment ranges between 3 weeks to 12 months.
