Analysts’ views on Global Radiodermatitis Market:

A skin condition that is a common side effect of radiation therapy. The affected skin becomes painful, red, itchy, and blistered. Radiation-induced dermatitis (RID) is a very common side effect that is almost universally experienced by patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) for cancer treatment. RID results from cutaneous or subcutaneous lesions due to external beam radiation. Radiodermatitis is a skin condition in which the skin becomes dry, itchy and inflamed, causing redness, swelling, scaling and peeling. Radiodermatitis is the body's reaction to ionizing radiation given to cancer patients and in imaging techniques. It is also known as X-ray rash, radiation dermatitis, radiation skin reactions or radiation damage. Nuclear attacks and disasters can also cause the condition.

Global Radiodermatitis Market - Regional Analysis

Among region, North America is estimated to hold a dominant position in the global radiodermatitis market over the forecast period, owing to increasing treatment for radiodermatitis. For instance, on May 17, 2023, MJH Life Sciences, U.S. based publishing company, published an article explaining Prophylaxis with antibacterial topical treatment may reduce acute radiation dermatitis severity. 2./3. according to the findings of the phase II trial, none of the patients who received antibacterial treatment developed moist scaling, the most severe form of acute radiation dermatitis that ends in skin breakdown, even though more than half of the patients had mild to moderate acute radiation dermatitis. Ulcers develop. 23.7% of individuals in the control group experienced severe acute radiation dermatitis.  The antibacterial regimen included twice-daily application of 2% mupirocin nasal ointment and 4% chlorhexidine gluconate body wash for five days before to radiotherapy and continued every other week throughout treatment.

Global Radiodermatitis Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Egypt, and others faced problems regarding the transportation of drugs from one place to another.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the global radiodermatitis market. For instance, on March 23, 2023, an article published by Springer explained comparing studies of breast cancer patients with studies that included both breast and head and neck cancer studies, photobiomodulation therapy was found to be protective against low-grade or no disease. Study discontinuations were more common in the photobiomodulation therapy groups, with "insufficient assessments" and the COVID-19 pandemic cited as the main reasons for discontinuation.

Global Radiodermatitis Market Cross Sectional Analysis:

Introduction of newer treatments of radiodermatitis in North America region is expected to drive growth of product type segment in the region. For instance, on June 12, 2020, an article published by National Center for Biotechnology Information, explained the treatment as Silver sulfadiazine, a topical antibacterial drug, is used as an ointment for second and third-degree burns. This molecule also has anti-inflammatory properties and functions to repair the protective layer that helps protect the skin from infectious agents. In a preliminary study, the use of a dressing containing silver sulfadiazine was associated with the overall severity of radiation-induced dermatitis. Similar findings have been reported with silver nylon dressings or Mepilex Foam Lite dressings.

Global Radiodermatitis Market: Key Developments

On May 4, 2023, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, U.S explained a simple antibacterial treatment solves a severe skin problem caused by radiation therapy, Staphylococcus aureus (SA), often shortened to "staph", usually lives harmlessly on the skin, often in the nose and armpits. But they can cause infections if the skin of the incision breaks. Radiation weakens the skin structure at the treatment site and can cause infection, allowing SA to penetrate the outer layer of the skin.

On September 15, 2022, BMG Pharma, Italy based pharmaceutical company and HTL Biotechnology, France based biotechnology company signed an agreement for the production of the functional ingredient underlying the patented Hyaluromimethic technology works on Sodium Hyaluronate Lipoate Formate (SHLF) to develop solutions in aesthetic dermatology, ophthalmology, and arthrosis. SHLF’s properties including improved resistance to enzymatic degradation, self-crosslinking properties, and elastic modulus are of great interest in dermo-aesthetic and osteoarthritis medicine.

Global Radiodermatitis Market: Key Trends

Introduction of newer application of drugs

Introduction of application of drugs can drive the growth of the market.  For instance, on June 12, 2020, an article published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information ( NCBI ) as Trolamine is widely used in the treatment of RID because it is believed to act as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory molecule. However, several randomized controlled trials have not shown an advantage of trolamine over supportive care or even placebo in the treatment of RD.Recently, doxepin cream has been  shown to suppress skin inflammation when used after RT in breast cancer patients.

Global Radiodermatitis Market: Restraints

Risk related to radiodermatitis

The risk of developing radiation-induced dermatitis depends on several factors related to treatment: the dose of radiation during one delivery, the total dose, the duration of exposure, the volume of the treated area, and the combination with other treatments, such as chemotherapy. In addition. , radiation-induced dermatitis may be influenced by patient-related factors such as high body mass index (BMI), smoking, nutritional status, pre-existing skin conditions such as psoriasis, and genetic predisposition.

To counterbalance this restrain, more awareness among personnel should be created regarding radiodermatitis.
