Axillary Hyperhidrosis Epidemiology
Key Highlights
- Characterized by excessive underarm sweating, axillary hyperhidrosis is an uncontrollable, annoying, and embarrassing problem. It has a huge impact on one’s mental and physical health and professional life.
- Hyperhidrosis is categorized as either primary or secondary hyperhidrosis. Primary hyperhidrosis is idiopathic and is localized in a bilateral and symmetrical pattern affecting the axilla, palms, soles, and face. Secondary hyperhidrosis is usually focal or generalized due to underlying medical conditions.
- The diagnosis of axillary hyperhidrosis is established by the “Diagnostic criteria for diagnosing primary focal hyperhidrosis” in managing and treating axillary hyperhidrosis; the goal is to reduce sweat production and sweat glands. The Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Scale (HDSS) helps gauge the impact of the disorder on the patient’s life, plan the treatment modality, and gauge the response to treatment and get disability compensation.
- Regarding the epidemiology of Axillary Hyperhidrosis, in 2022, it was found that the United States accounted for ~39% of the total diagnosed prevalant cases of axillary hyperhidrosis in the 7MM.
- Among the EU4 countries, the least number of diagnosed prevalent cases of axillary hyperhidrosis were found in Spain, i.e., ~204,000 cases in the year 2022. These cases are expected to increase by 2034.
- The high cost and prolonged treatment for axillary hyperhidrosis limit access to the condition. Insurance plans are complex and difficult to comprehend. Excessive sweating is dangerous and negatively influences the quality of life and ability to function properly.

Axillary Hyperhidrosis Understanding and Diagnostic Algorithm
Axillary Hyperhidrosis Overview
Axillary hyperhidrosis, characterized by excessive underarm sweating, is an uncontrollable, annoying, embarrassing, and isolating problem. It has a significant effect on one’s psychological and physical health, as well as one’s occupational life. From the discomfort of sweat running down one’s sides to the embarrassment of obvious sweat stains to the fear of being “discovered,” uncontrollable underarm sweating can often feel like ruining one’s life.

Axillary Hyperhidrosis Diagnosis
The first step in evaluating hyperhidrosis is differentiating between generalized and focal hyperhidrosis. Generalized hyperhidrosis is part of some other underlying condition, such as an infective or malignant disease or a hormonal disorder, and focal or primary idiopathic hyperhidrosis occurs in otherwise healthy people. Until recently, there have been only three ways of establishing a diagnosis of primary focal hyperhidrosis. These include Gravimetric testing, Minor-starch-iodine test, and Ninhydrin test.

Axillary Hyperhidrosis Epidemiology
The Axillary Hyperhidrosis epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by Total Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Hyperhidrosis (HH), Total Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Axillary Hyperhidrosis (AHH), Type-specific Cases of Axillary Hyperhidrosis (AHH), Age-specific Cases of Axillary Hyperhidrosis (AHH), and Severity-specific Cases of Axillary Hyperhidrosis (AHH) in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan from 2021 to 2034.
- The United States accounted for ~3,441,000 diagnosed prevalent cases of axillary hyperhidrosis in 2022, which is projected to increase during the forecast period (2025-2034).
- The total diagnosed prevalent cases of axillary hyperhidrosis in EU4 and the UK were ~3,045,000 in 2022. The cases will increase during the forecast period (2025-2034).
- The total diagnosed prevalent cases of axillary hyperhidrosis in Japan were ~2,377,000 in 2022.
- The Germany accounted for the highest number of diagnosed prevalent cases in EU4 and the UK, which were ~23% of the total diagnosed prevalent cases in the 7MM
