The Radiodermatitis Market is projected to witness high growth owing to increasing prevalence of cancer. Radiotherapy is one of the major treatment options for cancer which require prolonged exposure to radiation causing radiodermatitis.

Market Overview:

Radiodermatitis is a skin condition caused due to exposure to ionizing radiation during cancer treatment through radiotherapy. Symptoms include redness, itching, blistering, peeling, and ulceration of the skin. It affects the quality of life in cancer patients. Radiodermatitis products such as topical, dressings and sprays are used to prevent and treat symptoms of radiodermatitis. These products create protective barriers on skin and help in accelerated wound healing.

Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the radiodermatitis market is the rising prevalence of cancer globally. According to Globocan, there were 19.3 million new cancer cases reported in 2020 globally. Radiotherapy is one of the key treatment methods for more than 50% of all cancer patients. Prolonged exposure to ionizing radiation leads to development of radiodermatitis in almost all patients undergoing radiotherapy. Growing cancer burden and rising use of radiotherapy is expected to drive the demand for radiodermatitis treatment products over the forecast period.
