NON-MELANOMA SKIN CANCER MARKET OVERVIEW

The global non-melanoma skin cancer market size was anticipated to be worth USD 0.59 billion in 2024, projected to reach USD 0.84 billion by 2033 at a 3.9% CAGR during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033.

There are two forms of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC): basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). These are the most prevalent types of skin cancer and, in most cases, are less severe than melanoma. NMSC is a common disorder, especially in areas with a lot of sun. The global incidence of NMSC has been growing due to variables such as ageing populations, greater UV radiation exposure, and improved diagnosis tools. A dermatologist will often examine worrisome skin lesions and may perform a biopsy for confirmation. For evaluation, dermoscopy and other imaging modalities may be performed. Among the treatment possibilities for NMSC include surgery (excision), radiation therapy, cryotherapy, topical treatments, and photodynamic therapy. Treatment options are determined by characteristics such as tumour size, location, and patient health.

COVID-19 IMPACT

The Surge in Number of Cases and Patients at Risk Up scaled the Market Demand

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the non-melanoma skin cancer market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial impact on the market under consideration. Following the outbreak of the pandemic, World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations advised chronic disease patients to remain indoors. As a result, the skin cancer diagnostic industry was impeded. However, the number of studies investigating the impact of treatment delays on patients with non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) or melanoma cancer during COVID-19 has increased. According to a study titled "The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on quality of life in skin cancer patients" published in August 2021, cancer patients may be at an increased risk of developing severe COVID-19 disease and requiring treatment in an intensive care setting due to an immunocompromised status and depending on the underlying tumour disease and burden.

As a result of the increasing skin cancer incidences during the pandemic, there was a desire for novel improved treatments for treatment. As a result, during the pandemic phase, the pandemic is expected to have a positive impact on skin cancer diagnostics and therapies.

LATEST TRENDS

Topical Therapies and Immunotherapies to Advance the Market Share

The introduction of topical creams and gels for treating superficial NMSC lesions, such as imiquimod and 5-fluorouracil, has advanced the market for topical therapies. Immunotherapies, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., pembrolizumab) and targeted treatments, have showed promise in treating advanced or metastatic SCC in recent years.

By Application

Based on the application, the market is divided into hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers and others.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rising Awareness and Advancements in Diagnostic Tools to Uplift the Market Demand

Factors such as increased skin cancer awareness, technical developments in diagnostic equipment, and an ageing population are driving the market for NMSC treatment and diagnostics. Additionally, the industry has seen an increase in research and development initiatives to improve treatment alternatives. Sun protection items, such as sunscreen lotions, UV-protective apparel, and education programmes to encourage sun safety and skin cancer prevention, are also available on the market.

Growing Incidence of the NMSCs to Drive the Market Growth

Non-melanoma skin cancer begins in skin cells, and a cancerous (malignant) development is a collection of cancer cells that can invade and kill neighbouring tissue. It can also spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body, but this is uncommon in non-melanoma skin cancer. Thus, rising non-melanoma instances are expected to fuel segment expansion. Globally, NMSC is the most frequent malignancy, with major morbidity and cost, as well as very minor but large death.

According to national claims and survey databases in the United States, there has been a dramatic growth in the number of NMSCs and afflicted persons.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Late Detection, Recurrence and High Treatment Costs to Restrain the Market Growth

The market also comprises sun protection items such as sunscreen lotions, UV-protective apparel, and education programs to encourage sun safety and skin cancer prevention. One of the major drawbacks is that NMSCs are frequently identified at a later stage. People may ignore or disregard suspicious skin lesions because they believe they are harmless. This delay in diagnosis may necessitate more comprehensive and complex therapy. Even after therapy, NMSCs, particularly BCC, might return. Recurrence is more common when the tumor was initially big or aggressive. To detect and manage recurrences, regular follow-up and surveillance are required.

The necessity for early detection, access to healthcare, and managing the rising healthcare expenses associated with cancer treatment are all challenges in the NMSC industry. The cost of treating NMSC might be high, depending on the treatment strategy chosen and the healthcare system in place. This can be a limitation for people who do not have enough insurance coverage. Therefore, the late detection, recurrence and high treatment costs to hamper the non-melanoma skin cancer market growth
