Market Definition

Lichen planus is also known as lichen ruber planus and is defined as rare, chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disorder of the skin and mucous membrane. It is typically characterized by swelling and severe irritation in the area of the skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes.

Treatment for this condition include antihistamines, phototherapy, or steroid creams.

Global Lichen Planus Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increase in the prevalence of hepatitis C

The global lichen planus market is mainly driven by high incidence of lichen planus. About 1% of the world’s population is affected by lichen planus. People affected with hepatitis C are more prone to the condition. Therefore, rise in the number of patients with hepatitis C is the main driver of the global lichen planus market.

• Rise in Demand of Corticosteroids

Corticosteroids are used as first-line treatment for lichen planus and other inflammatory disorders. Among them, topical corticosteroids are most frequently used in the treatment of the condition. Corticosteroid drugs are used to relieve the symptoms of itching and rashes. In addition to this, immunomodulators are widely used in the treatment of extreme cases of lichen planus. This increasing demand boosts the market growth.

Opportunities

• Preference for Topical Route of Administration

Among the different routes of administration, the topical route is expected to dominate the global market during the forecast period. Topical is considered the most commonly used and favoured route of administration of the treatment of lichen planus as the recovery is faster and easily feasible. Thus, this demand of topical drugs increases the market size.

• Increasing Demand for Retail Pharmacies

The increase in the number of drugs for lichen planus delivered through retail pharmacies and the increase in the number of retail pharmacies in highly economic countries create opportunities for the market growth. In addition to this, patients prefer retail pharmacies for purchasing drugs, as these are easily accessible.

 Restraints/Challenges

• Lack of Awareness

The lack of awareness among patients and  doctors about the lichen planus is a major restraint. The underdeveloped and developing countries are unaware of rare conditions such as Nateglinide. Many mix this condition with other skin and autoimmune disorders. However, no proper treatment for the disorder deteriorates the emotional status and needs of the patient. Much more research and awareness about these rare diseases are required in many counties.

• High Cost

The huge expenditure associated with these agents surely hamper the market growth. These retinoids, corticosteroids, and antihistamines are expensive, and the price is increasing with each decade. Thus, this factor hamper the market growth.

• Lack of Proper Medication

Lack of appropriate medications and treatment is expected to increase this medical condition's effects. According to the market analysis, less awareness can lead to a small adoption rate of Olanzapine drugs. Thus, these factors can restrict the total demand for the lichen planus market during the forecast period.
