Pruritus Market

Market Overview:

The 7 major pruritus markets reached a value of US$ 6.0 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the 7MM to reach US$ 7.8 Billion by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.42% during 2024-2034.

The pruritus market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Pruritus Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Pruritus, also known as itching, refers to an unpleasant sensation or feeling on the skin that provokes the desire to scratch. The condition can be irritating or painful and could be localized to one part of the body or extend to numerous areas. Pruritus can range in severity from mild to severe, and it can be acute or chronic. Some of the common symptoms associated with the ailment include itching, inflamed skin, scratch marks, spots, blisters, dry and cracked skin, thick and leathery patches, localized pain at the affected site, etc. Individuals suffering from pruritus may also experience skin discoloration, a rash, bleeding, and large, fluid-filled bumps on the impacted skin region. The diagnosis of this disorder is generally based on the patient's underlying indications, medical history, and physical examination. Allergy tests, blood workups, and various imaging studies, such as X-rays, are also utilized to detect the cause of symptoms and confirm a diagnosis. Additionally, the healthcare provider may perform a skin biopsy, which involves taking a tiny sample of the affected region and investigating it under a microscope.

The increasing cases of skin disorders, such as eczema, psoriasis, hives, etc., coupled with the rising prevalence of fungal infections like athlete's foot or jock itch are primarily driving the pruritus market. In addition to this, the expanding geriatric population, who are prone to reduced production of sebum, skin-surface lipids, and perfusion, causing dry aging skin, is also bolstering the market growth. Moreover, the escalating utilization of antihistamines, including hydroxyzine and diphenhydramine, for relieving itch and inflammation by blocking histamine activity is creating a positive outlook for the market. Apart from this, the inflating usage of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation therapy, which applies electrical impulses that can reduce the pain signals going to the spinal cord and brain, thereby helping relieve aching and relax muscles, is further propelling the market growth. Additionally, the emerging popularity of topical corticosteroids, since they are effective in managing symptoms like redness, itching, swelling, and skin discomfort, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Besides this, the widespread adoption of ultraviolet phototherapy, which decreases the growth of the skin cells to treat underlying inflammation and improve quality of life, is expected to drive the pruritus market in the coming years.
