Vitiligo Drugs Market Key Findings with Worldwide Top Companies Like AXIM Biotechnologies, Dr. Reddy’s, Boston, Castle Creek Pharma, Dermavant Sciences, JN Biosciences

Vitiligo is a skin condition characterized by white patches on the skin. It is also known as skin depigmentation. In skin depigmentation, the skin's pigment-making cells known as melanocytes are lost or destroyed, which result into patches. The patches of affected skin appear white and usually have sharp margins. In most of the cases, the patches emerge on the skin, which is more exposed to sunlight. Although the disease can occur at any age, it is more observed in the mid-twenties. Although the disease does not affect the physical health of a person, it creates concerns about physical appearance and ethical identity of the person. The exact cause of Vitiligo is not known. It is mostly observed in people with family history of autoimmune disease. Vitiligo is classified into two types: segmental and non-segmental. In segmental vitiligo, only one side of body is affected by skin depigmentation. In non-segmental vitiligo, both sides of body are affected by skin depigmentation and the affected area of the skin expands with time. In general, non-segmental vitiligo is more common than segmental vitiligo.

Vitiligo Drugs Market Drivers

Vitiligo drugs market is expected to witness significant growth, owing to development of new therapies for vitiligo. For instance, in Feb 2018, researchers at Yale University School of Medicine discovered a new therapy for the treatment of vitiligo. The therapy can aid in returning the color of depigmented skin due to vitiligo. The new combination therapy includes oral medication of Xeljanz (tofacitinib) and ultraviolet-B light therapy. Xeljanz is used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and ultraviolet B (UVB) light therapy is an effective treatment for psoriasis. UVB penetrates the skin and slows the growth of affected skin cells.

Moreover, increasing pipeline studies to develop new drugs for the treatment of vitiligo is expected to drive vitiligo drugs market growth. For instance, in December 2016, Nicolaus Copernicus University initiated the phase 1 and phase 2 clinical trial for Atorvastatin calcium salt and Simvastatin-acid sodium salt. The study has been initiated for the evaluation of vitiligous lesions repigmentation after the administration of Atorvastatin calcium salt and Simvastatin-acid sodium salt in patients with active vitiligo. The study is estimated to complete by April 2019.

However, adoption of unlicensed medication may restraint the vitiligo drugs market growth. Topical Calcineurin inhibitors (Tacrolimus and Pimecrolimus) used for treating vitiligo are unlicensed medicines. Prescription of unlicensed medicines for the treatment of vitiligo is attributed to the assumption that these medicine are more effective and offer some benefits in the treatment and show lesser side effect unlike corticosteroids that cause thinning of the skin.
