According to a recent study published by National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in May 2020, the overall prevalence of onychomycosis was approximately 5.5% in the general population.
The prevalence of onychomycosis has been increasing over the past few years due to unhealthy lifestyle and negligence of nail care. Future Market Insights (FMI) presents a positive outlook for the onychomycosis treatment market, forecasting it to exhibit 6.1% Y-o-Y growth in 2021.
Toenail onychomycosis are more common and requires longer duration of treatment, which can also extend to a year. Sometimes complete cure, defined as clinical cure, is unattainable, which may lead to indefinite treatment duration and consequently drive the onychomycosis treatment market. The risk of onychomycosis is 1.9 to 2.8 times higher in people with diabetes, compared with the general population. This is leading to rising revenue accumulation of drug manufacturers targeting the onychomycosis treatment market.
