Rosacea Market Analysis, 2021
Growing awareness about rosacea, increasing prevalence of the condition, changing lifestyles coupled with awareness programs and absence of treatment for rosacea are encouraging companies to invest significantly in R&D to develop products to gain from the huge unmet demand. Companies like Sol-Gel Technologies, Biowest Therapeutics, Maruho Co., Ltd, Amgen, Alfasigma, Biomemtix, Timber Pharmaceuticals, and others are focusing on constantly assessing diverse mechanism of actions to identify potential treatment options.
Rosacea is a chronic, inflammatory and vascular disorder affecting the face. Onset is usually after age 30 and typically begins as flushing and subtle redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead. The characteristic skin lesions (erythema, visible blood vessels, papules and pustules) appear on the face and with progression of the disease, the redness becomes more persistent, blood vessels become visible and pimples often appear. In addition, burning, stinging, dry skin, plaques and skin thickening are other symptoms observed in the condition.
Rosacea is one of the most common conditions treated by dermatologists but the etiology of the condition is unknown. A family history of the disease is a risk factor, as is the very light skin phototype (Celtic skin type). The condition may be triggered from consumption of alcohol, spicy food, and changes in weather, exposure to sun or hot showers. Stinging, burning, sensitivity of the skin and inability to tolerate cosmetics are also common in rosacea. The condition has a strong impact on quality of life and can be associated with depressive symptoms.
Strong pipeline is of one of the market drivers of Rosacea market. Companies are focusing on launching new products based on significant opportunities for strong product positioning, focused primarily on novel delivery and high efficacy. Millennial and population aged between 30 and 50 remain major target group. Further, companies in the US and Europe increasingly rely on prescribing behaviour as focused guide for HCP targeting. Comparative pricing to other branded products, and ensuring broad access are among the key strategies opted by companies with planned therapeutic pipeline candidates.
Currently, 7 major prescription drugs are marketed for rosacea. A significant volume of patients switches or discontinue Rosacea therapy after first diagnosis. Further, there is no known cure for rosacea and treatment is aimed at alleviating the disorder's symptoms. Current treatment methods include topical formulations of antimicrobials such as metronidazole, clindamycin and ivermectin, azelaic acid or retinoids. Further, oral and topical antibiotics are also widely prescribed.
Different oral and topical medications are prescribed by patients to treat the signs and symptoms associated with Rosacea. Physicians often suggest antibiotics and other drug types. They also prescribe medical therapy specifically to control the redness. Bumps and pimples often receive initial treatment with oral and topical therapy to bring the condition under immediate control, followed by long-term use of an anti-inflammatory therapy alone to maintain remission.
The global Rosacea market is valued at $1,960 million in 2020. Further, over the forecast period to 2030, the market is poised to register 5.47% growth (Compounded Annual Growth Rate- CAGR) to reach $3,340 million in 2030. The major factors shaping up the demand outlook include increasing incidences of disease, launch of generics, and possible approval of VERED. On the other hand, low penetration rate in developing markets, low awareness in these markets, unknown etiology of the condition, and inadequate diagnosis coupled with low adherence are main market challenges.
The report analyses the global Rosacea market across drug types, route of administration and geographies. The drug types analysed in the report include Alpha agonists, Antibiotics, Azelic acid and others. Among types, antibiotics remain the dominant drug type with 67.8% market share. This is largely driven by prescriptions of oral and topical antibiotics and presence of a large number of products in the category.
In terms of route of administration, the market is categorized into oral and topical. Of these, topical dominated the industry in terms of market size with 70.8% market share. This is largely due to the limited side effects of topical compounds and patient willingness to opt for topical gel and foams compared to oral medication. However, for Phymatous Rosacea and Ocular Rosacea conditions, oral medication is largely prescribed.
Awareness campaigns and expansion into new markets coupled with increasing diagnosis of the disease are the main market drivers for Rosacea in developed countries in North America, and Europe. Among regions, North America remained the global markets with the US being the world’s largest country for rosacea treatment. The region accounted for 64.2% of global market demand, followed by Europe (21.4%). On the other hand, Asia Pacific is the fastest growing geography, forecast to register 6.3% CAGR over the forecast period. The fastest growth in China, India, Brazil, Eastern Europe and other countries is driven by launch of new products and increased diagnosis in the second half of forecast period.
In terms of companies, the current market landscape is characterized by presence of a few players such as Galderma, Leo Pharma, Aclaris, and Vyne Therapeutics. In addition, companies marketing generics also have significant presence in the industry.

Rosacea Market Trends- Combination topical therapy continues to gain traction
While single agent topical therapy is among the leading treatment option preferred for rosacea patients, an increasing trend towards use of combination topical therapy is being observed. Metronidazole and azelaic acid are among the most prescribed combination for the condition. Combination of topical and oral medication such as Ivermectin and oral doxycycline is also being assessed.
According to National Rosacea Society, fixed centrofacial erythema with periodic intensification, and phymatous changes remain the primary phenotypes while papules and pustules, flushing, telangiectasia, and ocular manifestations can also co-occur with the primary symptoms. Further, secondary signs and symptoms such as burning or stinging sensations, facial edema, and a dry appearance of central facial skin can be observed among patients.
As Rosacea is an evolving condition, physicians consider all clinical signs and symptoms of rosacea observed in an individual patient, identifying those signs and symptoms that change over time, and accordingly suggest the most suitable combination therapy applicable to target all rosacea symptoms.
Rosacea Market Drivers- Rosacea has Strong Unmet Demand
Rosacea presents significant unmet demand potential. As the approved drugs do not treat the condition but instead treats the symptoms and signs, there exists huge unmet market demand. Further, high rate of treatment discontinuation coupled with side effects of long term usage restrict market size growth.
Pharmaceutical companies and institutes are investing in developing drugs that has minimal side effects and has more efficacy such as extended release and microencapsulation technology.
