Phototherapy Equipment Market: Overview

The market size for phototherapy equipment was USD 342.8 million in 2021, and throughout the projection period, it is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.3 percent. The primary element fueling market expansion is the increased prevalence of skin diseases. The American Academy of Dermatology Association's most recent data indicates that 84.5 million Americans, or almost one in every four, suffer from a skin ailment. Additionally, it's projected that rising rates of skin conditions, preterm deliveries, and low birth weight babies will all help the worldwide market growth throughout the projection period. For the first time in the preceding seven years, more infants were born in the US in 2021, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to the study, there were 3,659,289 births in 2021, a 1% increase from the previous year. In light of this, market growth is anticipated throughout the forecast period.

Neonatal jaundice can be successfully treated with phototherapy. The newborns receive this treatment, where they are exposed to fluorescent light, which hastens their recovery. Jaundice in babies is typical, but doctors will employ phototherapy equipment to cure the condition if it lasts long. A pediatric medicine journal revealed that between 60% and more than 90% of babies experience jaundice. Similarly, the National Health Service estimates that eight out of ten babies born preterm are at risk of developing jaundice, whereas six out of ten babies are thought to develop it.

The introduction of technologically sophisticated phototherapy equipment and the widespread use of LED-based equipment are key factors projected to boost the market's expansion. Another important aspect anticipated to fuel the growth of the phototherapy equipment market is the increased awareness of sophisticated phototherapy and the evolving healthcare infrastructure. This gadget is more energy-efficient, with a ten times longer lifespan than conventional devices and considerably less expensive. Research conducted by Stanford Medical Schools, one of the D-collaborators, Rev's, has demonstrated the effectiveness of its use in the treatment of jaundice. Compact fluorescent bulbs are used in most phototherapy equipment due to their homogeneity and usability.

Phototherapy Equipment Market: COVID-19 Impact

The market for phototherapy equipment was slightly adversely affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. The demand for phototherapy to treat several ailments has dropped due to COVID-19's influence on phototherapy equipment manufacturers.
