Topical Dispenser Market Overview

Topical dispensers are the tools that are used for applying topical medication directly to the body. These tools can provide an effortless application of medications in the form of solutions, gels, creams, lotions, ointments for skin treatment. Topical dispensers can be applied in a simple and contactless manner, while preserving the drug from environmental or microbiological contamination. There are two types of topical dispensers: swabs and metered. Metered dispensers provide optimal efficiency and patient comfort for utilization. Since topical therapies are generally self-administered, a dispensing system that complements a patient's capability is required. The market is booming due to the advancements in the field, such as click-to-piston technology, which allows patients to visually and audibly comprehend the exact dosages being dispensed. These dispensers increase patient compliance and ensure that patients receive their medications on time.

Topical Dispenser Market Trends

Growth Drivers

Increased Prevalence of Skin Disease Driving the Growth Of the Topical Dispenser Market

In recent years, the demand for the topical dispensers has increased due to the increasing prevalence of skin disease worldwide. Topical drugs are mainly used in the treatment of dermatological problems. According to a paper presented by the United State's National Library of Medicine, from 1989 to 2008, around 320 million visits were found documenting topical over-the-counter recommendations, the majority of which were visits to a dermatologist.  Skin diseases are the 4th most common disease  worldwide. Such disorders can also cause mental stress and physical discomfort. Providing patients with the right dispensing system can ease their burden to some extent. A broken or burned area of skin is sometimes delicate to direct contact. In that case, formulations that are easily and uniformly applied become necessary.

At times, the targeted areas on the body may be at a position that is difficult to reach. In such circumstances, topical dispenser comes handy. Skin medication can be directly applied to the targeted lesion by using specialized applicators combined with small-volume pumps.

Restraints

Stringent Regulations Related to Topical Drugs Hinders the Growth of Topical Dispensers

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) keeps a close watch on topical drugs' manufacturing, packaging, and usage. Regulations governing physical characteristics, chemical and microbial purity, active ingredient uniformity, product potency, and so on are strictly enforced, putting a damper on the production and use of topical drugs, negatively impacting the topical dispenser market. Additionally, many side effects of topical medications, such as stinging, burning, irritation, dryness, and so on, can stifle market growth.

Impact Of COVID-19 On Topical Dispenser Market

The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic has facilitated the growth of the topical dispenser market. The pandemic has made it difficult for people to visit hospitals or clinics to receive regular check-ups and treatment. Consequently, many people had to resort to online consultation or tele-consultation. Thus, self-administration of medication became increasingly important during the pandemic. Thus, the pandemic fueled the demand for user-friendly and convenient topical dispensers.

Topical Dispenser Market- By Type

The topical dispenser market is fragmented into metered and swabs based on the type of dispensers. The metered dispensing system held the largest market share in 2020. Metered type dispensers come in handy for certain skin disorders that require the application of a precise amount of medication to  prevent side effects resulting from an overdose. Metered dispensing pumps are available in combination with precision pumps which deliver a consistent amount per stroke and allow the patient to have the same amount of medication every day. The factors driving this segment's growth are reduction in medication errors, increased demand for self-administration tools, increased productivity, and faster dispensing time.

Topical Dispenser Market- By Dosage

Based on dosage, the topical dispenser market is segmented into semi-solid, solid, and liquid. The semi-solid segment held the highest market share in 2020. Semi-solid treatments are easier to handle and use as compared to their liquid counterparts. Most of the topical treatments are in semi-solid gel or ointment forms. When compared to solutions, viscous gels significantly increase residence time, increase drug bioavailability, and decrease dosage frequency. These elements contribute to the dominance of the semi-solid dosage segment of the topical dispenser market.

Topical Dispenser Market- Regional Insights

On a regional level, the topical dispenser market is categorized into North America, Europe, the Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. Among these, North America led the market with the highest share in 2020. The growth of the region can be attributed to the increasing number of skin disorders in the North American region. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, more than 9500 people are diagnosed with skin cancer every day in the United States, and more than 2 people die of skin cancer in the U.S. every hour. As per a journal released by the American Academy of Dermatology, people spend around $75 Million on health care in the U.S.
