Rosacea Treatment Market: Understanding
Rosacea Overview
Rosacea is a characteristic condition that affects the skin by causing facial erythema or redness. Around one in 10 people in the world are affected by rosacea. There are four types of rosacea, though many people experience symptoms of more than one type. Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea, papulopustular rosacea, phymatous rosacea, and ocular rosacea are the four types of rosacea. Papulopustular rosacea (PPR), also referred to as inflammatory rosacea, and type-2 rosacea, is a type of skin condition that may sometimes be mistaken for acne.
Papulopustular rosacea is associated with “whitehead” pustules, which are pus-filled blemishes, and red, swollen bumps. These typically appear on the cheeks, chin, and forehead and are frequently misidentified as acne. These signs and symptoms may flare up for a period of weeks to months and then diminish for a while. The disease sometimes can be mistaken for acne (an allergic reaction or other skin problems). Researchers found that the disease runs in families and may be caused due to the immune reaction against Bacillus oleronius, H. Pylori infection, cathelicidin protein, or due to mite that lives on the skin.
Rosacea Diagnosis and Treatment Algorithm
The disease diagnosis is based on a compatible history and physical examination. The patient may be misdiagnosed with skin conditions that share similar features as adult acne vulgaris, photodermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, or contact dermatitis. The current therapeutic landscape of rosacea can be divided into four major categories based on the route of administration and the approved usage for the condition. These are topical retinoids, topical antibiotics, oral tetracycline-class antibiotics (TCAs), and oral retinoids. For moderate papulopustular rosacea, combination therapy with oral tetracyclines and topical agents is the first-line choice. Treatment with a topical agent, such as metronidazole, may help maintain remission. Among topical therapies, topical retinoids mainly include tretinoin, tazarotene, adapalene, and clindamycin/tretinoin, and several others are used to reduce erythema, papules and pustules, and telangiectasia.
Among these, tretinoin has the lowest cost and most commonly prescribed topical retinoid, accounting for the majority of the population. Topical antibiotics, such as metronidazole, clindamycin, erythromycin, azelaic acid, benzoyl peroxide, benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide/erythromycin, sulfacetamide, and sulfacetamide/sulfur, are applied directly to the skin to kill bacteria on the surface of the skin. Currently, EPSOLAY is the only US FDA-approved treatment for rosacea.
Rosacea Epidemiology
The epidemiology section on the rosacea market report offers information on the patient populations, including historical and projected trends for each of the seven major markets. Examining key opinion leader views from physicians or clinical experts can assist in identifying the reasons behind historical and projected trends. The diagnosed Rosacea Patient Pool, their trends, and the underlying assumptions are all included in this section of the report.
This section also presents the data with relevant tables and graphs, offering a clear and concise view of the prevalence of rosacea. Additionally, the report discloses the assumptions made during the analysis, ensuring data interpretation and presentation transparency. This epidemiological data is valuable for understanding the disease burden and its impact on the patient population across various regions.
Key findings from the Rosacea Epidemiological Analysis
- According to various available literature, the Prevalence of Rosacea seems to be on the rise in the US, and in the UK, with a prevalence of about 2 per thousand persons. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, rosacea is a common skin disease that affects around 16 million Americans.
- As per analysis, rosacea prevalence was about 12% in Germany, with erythematotelangiectatic and papulopustular subtypes making up 9 and 3 percent, respectively, while around 18% of the diagnosed were aged 18–30 years.
- As per analysis, rosacea was found in almost 90% of females and 15 % of males. Erythematotelangiectatic (ETR), papulopustular (PPR), phytates (PHY), and ocular subtypes were found in almost 60%, 30%, 20%, and 40% of patients.
- Analysis suggests that there is a paucity of epidemiological data on rosacea, with reported prevalence rates ranging from about 0.10% to as much as 22.00%, in the UK, though there is a paucity of epidemiological data on rosacea.
Rosacea Market Recent Breakthroughs
- In November 2025, Wake Forest University Health Sciences initiated a study in which adherence will be objectively monitored across all groups using electronic devices attached to ivermectin containers, with participants instructed to use ivermectin daily as maintenance therapy. The study also employs a hydration measurement device capable of transmitting data to an internet server via a smartphone using Bluetooth technology, allowing providers to remotely track and assess patients’ TEWL rates and SC levels.
Rosacea Market Outlook
Topical antibiotics are the most commonly prescribed class of drugs for all sexes and age groups. The most common topical antibiotics prescribed are metronidazole (for an estimated half of the population of topical antibiotics) followed by clindamycin, erythromycin, and azelaic acid. Oral TCAs include the use of tetracycline, minocycline, and doxycycline (Oracea) and act as anti-inflammatory agents without creating bacterial resistance. Of these, tetracycline occupies the major share of prescriptions, followed by minocycline and doxycycline. A significantly lower percentage of prescriptions are brand names for tetracycline and minocycline, whereas prescriptions for doxycycline are generally branded.
ORACEA was also approved by the US FDA for the treatment of inflammatory lesions (papules and pustules of rosacea, however, it has generics in the market. Oral retinoids are also administered and involve the administration of isotretinoin, which is used as an off-label therapy to treat rosacea. It is unknown whether isotretinoin can lead to permanent remission of rosacea. In patients with subtype 2 rosacea i.e. papulopustular rosacea, the size and number of sebaceous glands have decreased with oral isotretinoin. A study found low-dose isotretinoin to be more effective than doxycycline in physician- and patient-assessed outcomes.
The approved as well as off-label products that are being used for the treatment of papulopustular rosacea, and contributing towards the market revenue, belong to either of these above-mentioned therapeutic categories. The effectiveness of approved therapies depends on the severity of the disease. Many companies are developing drugs for the treatment of Rosacea to fulfill the unmet needs. With ongoing research and continued dedication, the future holds hope for even more effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure for this challenging condition. According to DelveInsight, the Rosacea market in the 7MM is expected to change significantly during the study period 2020–2034.
