The Global Picato Gel (Ingenol Mebutate) Market Size is Predicted to Exceed USD 1121.07 Million By 2033, Growing at a CAGR of 8.28% from 2023 to 2033.

 

Market Overview

The picato gel (ingenol mebutate) market comprises the development, formulation, and commercialization of the picato gel containing ingenol mebutate as an active pharmaceutical ingredient used for the treatment of actinic keratosis topically. Ingenol mebutate is obtained from the Euphoria peplus, is a traditional medicine used in the management of skin conditions like warts and cancer. Ingenol mebutate is a well-tolerated treatment for actinic keratosis, with good patient adherence due to its short treatment period. Available in two strengths for different sites, it is a clear, colorless gel base. Picato® gel, 0.015% and 0.05%, contains 150 and 500 mcg of ingenol mebutate, respectively, in each gram of gel, consisting of isopropyl alcohol, hydroxyethyl cellulose, citric acid, monohydrate, sodium citrate, benzyl alcohol, and purified water. It is for external use only.

 

Several pharmaceutical companies are analyzing the prevalence rate of actinic keratosis, which drives the market growth. For instance, actinic keratosis (AK) is a common dermatological condition with an estimated prevalence of 13.3% in the European population. The incidence has increased due to an aging population and changes in people's behaviours, leading to increased exposure to UV radiation. Almirall has released new data revealing that over one-third of people with AK don't know the cause of the condition. A survey showed that 57.80% of the population has never had their skin checked by a professional. AK Global Day was created in 2022 to raise awareness of AK, and Almirall's campaign, "Stay Vigilant," aims to raise awareness about the relationship between the disease and prolonged exposure to sunlight. 85% of those surveyed were unaware of AK.

Driving Factors:

Increasing prevalence of actinic keratosis (AK):

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a chronic skin disease caused by prolonged exposure to UV radiation and other risk factors like immunosuppression. It has a global prevalence rate of 14%, indicating a significant global disease burden. AKs are precancerous epidermal lesions that develop in sensitive, frequently sun-exposed skin, causing multiple, red, scaly patches. The main risk factor for AK development is cumulative UV radiation exposure throughout one's lifetime, with age, sex, and skin phototype being independent factors. AKs are more frequently located on the head and upper extremities, where sun exposure is greatest. Hence, growing cases of actinic keratosis among the worldwide population drive the market growth.

 

Growing preference for the topical treatments:

Topical treatments are increasingly preferred by patients and healthcare providers due to their convenience, ease of use, and lower risk of systemic side effects. These treatments are applied directly to the affected area, targeting specific lesions or affected areas and minimizing systemic side effects. Patients often prefer these treatments over surgical or procedural options as they avoid the risks and recovery time associated with surgical procedures. Picato Gel, which targets specific lesions of AK, aligns with this trend, making it a favorable choice for both patients and dermatologists. Therefore, the rising demand for the topical treatment for the management of actinic keratosis leads to the expansion of the market.

 

Restraining Factors

Picato gel, a treatment for actinic keratosis, faces regulatory scrutiny due to safety and efficacy concerns. Side effects and other alternative treatments may deter patients and healthcare providers. The high price may also pose a barrier, particularly in regions with limited healthcare coverage, resulting in the suppression of market growth.
