The global radiodermatitis market size is expected to reach USD 557.1 million by 2030, and market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.0% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.. The rising global incidence of cancer is a key factor driving the market growth. As cancer rates increase, more patients are receiving radiation therapy as part of their treatment plans. In February 2024, the WHO reported that around 20% of individuals are expected to be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives, with roughly 1 in 9 men and 1 in 12 women succumbing to the illness, resulting in a growing need for effective solutions to manage side effects like radiodermatitis. This condition, marked by skin irritation and damage from radiation exposure, calls for specialized treatments focused on alleviating symptoms and promoting healing. Consequently, pharmaceutical and medical device companies prioritize developing innovative therapies and products to address the radiodermatitis industry.
The growing awareness and emphasis on patient care during cancer treatment play a significant role in improving outcomes. Healthcare providers are increasingly acknowledging the need to address side effects related to radiation therapy, such as radiodermatitis. The May 2024 review in Bioengineering & Translational Medicine highlighted the clinical use of hydrogels since the late 1980s across drug delivery, cosmetics, and tissue regeneration. Recent advancements in polymer chemistry and fabrication have resulted in over 100 FDA and EMA-approved hydrogel products derived from natural, synthetic, or combined materials. These products serve various purposes, including tissue regeneration, facial correction, wound dressing, and drug delivery, and include both injectable and non-injectable options in clinical trials.
