Dermatophytic Onychomycosis Treatment Market Highlights

The global dermatophytic onychomycosis treatment market is accounted to register a CAGR of 7.90% during the forecast period and is estimated to reach USD 8.5 Billion by 2032.

Onychomycosis is a fungal condition that affects the fingernails and toenails and can be painful, ugly, and persistent. Among the different types of onychomycosis are proximal subungual, white superficial, and distal subungual. This nail infection, which is caused by a range of microorganisms including dermatophytes, yeasts, and non-dermatophyte molds, is usually contracted by athletes foot sufferers. Onychomycosis symptoms include distorted nail shapes, a disagreeable smell, pale to yellow-brown discoloration, and crumbly, ragged, and brittle nail textures. Nail samples and clippings are typically cultured, and potassium, oxygen, and hydrogen (KOH) assays are utilized to determine the diagnosis. It can be treated with medicine, photodynamic treatments, laser therapy, and other methods.

The prevalence of onychomycosis is one of the key factors driving the market's growth. Onychomycosis infections of the toenails occur far more frequently than those of the fingernails. The increased prevalence of dermatophyte-caused nail fungal infections and a sharp increase in prescriptions are expected to drive the market. According to a press release from Moberg Pharma AB, 35–40 million Americans have nail fungus, making up around 10% of the global population. This is likely to increase demand for the market for treating dermatophytic onychomycosis during the anticipated period.
