Photodynamic Therapy Market - Global Industry Analysis

Global Photodynamic Therapy Market: Overview

Photodynamic therapy is considered to be the safest procedure to treat viral infections. Photodynamic therapy is a treatment given for cancer, macular degeneration, actinic keratosis, acne, and other diseases. This therapy utilizes photosensitizing agents integrated with light energy. The treatment reveals promising results by working directly on the damaged cell with the help of activated oxygen that destroys only the targeted cells. It is a widely adopted treatment for a number of diseases as it effectively prevents healthy cells from being damaged and causing scarring. It is the most effective treatment for cancer. Also, photodynamic therapy has turned out an effective treatment in multidrug-resistant breast cancer.

Global Photodynamic Therapy Market: Growth Factors

Cancer accounts for the largest application of photodynamic therapy globally. Also, healthcare companies are creating awareness among people regarding the existence of photodynamic therapy and its effective treatment against breast cancer-resistant patients. It is effectively being used as a substitute to broad-spectrum antibiotic-based therapy which also minimizes the cases of drug resistance. In addition, companies are effectively propelling their research and development activities to access the photodynamic therapy-resistant cell to further analyze and examine the impact of the same on cellular targets. Also, healthcare providers are trying to increase the efficacy of these therapies in photosensitizer levels with its retention in the target cell. However, the growing incidences of actinic keratosis are the key reason for the growth of the global photodynamic therapy market. Dermoscopy is a vital tool for monitoring skin lesions during such therapy and in follow-up procedures. Professionals are using photodynamic therapy for treating actinic keratosis disease with aminolevulinic acid (ALA) drugs. These drug agents are gaining immense popularity and are widely being adopted in photodynamic therapy. Dermoscopy monitoring is highly used in photodynamic therapy as it is a non-invasive technique that not only plays a valuable role in diagnosing actinic keratosis but also several other wide ranges of skin diseases. The high sale of photosensitizer drugs is steering the growth of the global photodynamic therapy market as manufacturers are raising the complexity of drug molecules to avoid replication by competitors. For instance, Australia contains the largest cases of actinic keratosis followed by the US. Therefore, both regions are serving as the great marketplace for the growth of photodynamic therapy. Furthermore, the technological advancements in the field of dynamic therapy are likely to bring several innovations and modernization in the treatment of the aforementioned diseases. The key market players and government authorities are boosting the funding to increase the research and development activities in the field of photodynamic therapy.
