Actinic Keratosis Market Synopsis

Actinic Keratosis Market Size Was Valued at USD 8.32 Billion in 2023 and is Projected to Reach USD 12.80 Billion by 2032, Growing at a CAGR of 4.9% From 2024-2032.

Actinic keratosis defined as precancerous cutaneous lesion which results from prolonged exposure to UV radiation, and manifests clinically by the presence of rough, scaly skin lesions predominantly on sun exposed areas. These lesions are usually located on the face, ears, neck, scalp, and the dorsa of hands and may prove carcinogenic especially the squamous cell kind. The Actinic Keratosis market includes diagnostic procedures, cure and prevention measures that can be used for AK, those therapies involve using topical treatments, cryotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and lasers.

• Currently, the Actinic Keratosis market has been enlarging in several years owing to the raised level of skin health awareness and increasing skin cancer incidence. The rising number of elderly people and the increasing rate of AK due to frequent exposure to UV light from other sources, including artificial ones, make healthcare practitioners pay much attention to the identification of AK at an early stage and options for its management. This market is further driven by growth in medical technology as well as growth in the number of therapies that are developed with better efficiency and compliance by patients. Hence, players in the value chain such as the players in the pharmaceutical industry, derma clinics, and healthcare providers, have continued to engage in RD in order to diversify their product offering and increase the therapeutic choices available.

Millions of people worldwide suffer from actinic keratosis, a common skin ailment that is usually brought on by excessive sun exposure. Bimiralisib is a powerful, new, and highly selective PI3Kδ inhibitor that has demonstrated encouraging outcomes in preclinical research. About 200 patients from various sites in Europe and the US are anticipated to be enrolled in the Phase 2 clinical trial, which aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of bimiralisib in patients with actinic keratosis. This achievement gives those with Actinic Keratosis hope and represents a major advancement in the development of Bimiralisib.
• In 2024, A supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for an enhanced dosage of Aminolaevulinic Acid Hydrochloride (ALA HCl) for the treatment of Actinic Keratosis (AK) was submitted by Bio Frontera Inc., a biopharmaceutical business that specializes in treating skin conditions. Long-term sun exposure causes AK, a common skin condition that, if addressed, can progress to skin cancer. A photosensitizing chemical called ALA HCl is used in photodynamic therapy to specifically kill malignant and precancerous skin cells. For the treatment of AK, the sNDA asks for permission to increase the dosage of ALA HCl from 20% to 30%. In its efforts to increase the range of therapy options available to AK patients, Bio Frontera has reached a significant milestone with this filing.
