Summary
Acne Care Manufacturing OTC manufacturers over-the-counter cleansers, lotions, gels, toners, gloves, and pads containing acne-fighting ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid.
Since acne-prone people deem these drugs to be a required cost, the industry profits from relatively steady demand for them. Adolescents, on the other hand, are the industry’s main demographic, and high unemployment and poor disposable incomes in this declining age group have led sales of over-the-counter (OTC) acne products to plunge over the next five years to 2020.
Furthermore, the sector has been undercut by lower-cost products manufactured elsewhere. Manufacturers have gradually tried to locate abroad in order to take advantage of cheaper labor rates, leading imports to increase as a share of domestic demand.
Thus, over the five years to 2020, market income has fallen by an annualized 7.5 percent to $345.4 million. Furthermore, Research anticipates that the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic would further affect business activities, resulting in a 3.8 percent drop in sales in 2020 alone.
Performance
Over-the-counter (OTC) acne medication demand is relatively resilient to economic conditions; however, the Acne Treatment Manufacturing OTC sector has suffered with a dwindling number of teens and low disposable incomes throughout this age category.
Teenagers have the highest prevalence of acne, and high unemployment in teens has resulted in a decline in overall spending on OTC acne therapies in recent years.
Despite the fact that customers are shifting to less costly industry goods that generate less sales, the industry has benefited from reduced market demand for more expensive opioid acne products and laser treatments.
Domestic producers have gradually moved demand overseas in order to stay competitive. As a result, market revenue has plummeted at a 7.5 percent annualized rate to $345.4 million in the five years to 2020.
Outlook
Demand for over-the-counter (OTC) acne drugs is expected to stay reasonably steady, and the Acne Remedy Manufacturing OTC industry is in the mature stage of its life cycle, although new products, especially OTC acne treatments manufactured from all-natural and organic ingredients, are likely to be introduced.
Furthermore, businesses are expected to produce more drugs for adults suffering from late-onset or chronic acne. However, the industry will most likely face increased competition from new acne treatments, which will limit sales growth.
Furthermore, in order to deal with increased import penetration, domestic producers would most likely seek to move manufacturing to neighboring countries. As a result, Research forecasts that market sales will fall by 2.3 percent on an annualized basis to $307.5 million in the five years to 2025.
Industry
