North America Dermatology Diagnostic Devices Market by Diagnostic Device (Dermatoscope, Microscope, Imaging Techniques), by Treatment Device (Liposuction, Microdermabrasion, Lasers), by Application - Forecast to 2019

The global healthcare industry is witnessing a major transformation towards non-invasive diagnostics, which helps in easy and painless diagnosis. Dermatology diagnostic devices aid in the easy detection of various skin disorders such as melanoma. There are various kinds of diagnostic devices, of which the most widely used devices by dermatologists are digital photography tools and dermatoscopes. By projecting light on to the skin and thereby magnifying the skin structure, dermatoscopes help in better diagnosis. Digital photography, on the other hand, involves the total cutaneous imaging of skin lesions, with serial images that are recorded over a period of time, which are then further analyzed.

The dermatology diagnostic devices market is segmented based on type, which includes dermatoscopes, imaging techniques, and microscopes. The dermatology diagnostic devices market is dominated by imaging techniques, which commands over 83.1% of the market in the North American region, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period (2014 to 2019). This large share is primarily due to device’s ability to detect advanced stages of melanoma. The microscopes market, on the other hand, is the fastest-growing market, at a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period. The dermatoscopes market is further divided into traditional and digital dermatoscopes, of which traditional dermatoscopes command the largest share of over 58.0%. On the other hand, imaging techniques are further classified into ultrasound, CT, MRI, and OCT, of which the ultrasound market has the largest market share of over 48.5%.

In the North American region, the U.S. dominated the dermatology diagnostic devices market, registering around 89.3% in 2014, followed by Europe. Mexico is the fastest-growing region and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast. This is due to the increasing demand for dermatologists and growing awareness of skin disorders in this region.

This market research report categorizes the dermatology diagnostic devices market into submarkets, namely, dermatoscopes, imaging techniques, and microscopes. On the basis of geography, the North American market is segmented into the U.S, Canada, and Mexico. The study, which analyzes the market based on product sales and competitive scenario, is based on primary and secondary research. The trends and opportunities in the market are also analyzed in the report.

There has been a rise in the incidences of various skin disorders such as melanoma, psoriasis, vascular lesions, and acne. Among these disorders, melanoma is a type of skin cancer that predominantly develops on the skin and is easily visible to the naked eye. However, the challenge lies in recognizing early symptoms so that the appropriate treatment can be initiated before the tumor reaches a thickness of 0.76 mm, which can be fatal for the patient. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the demand for various procedures and surgeries for the treatment of skin ailments. Among all cancers, the incidence of melanoma is increasing at a high rate in the U.S., with a current lifetime risk of 1 in 55.

Various sophisticated diagnostic instruments such as dermatoscopes, OCT scanners, and handheld scanners allow early detection of melanoma, thereby improving survival rates and reducing the number of biopsies in future, associated morbidity, and cost of healthcare. Advancements in technology have enabled the development of new, accurate, sensitive, and quantitative diagnostic instruments that have the potential to treat a number of skin disorders. Quantitative Thermographic Imaging (QTI), Confocal Microscopy, and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) have revolutionized diagnostic procedures. White-light and polarized-light imaging, spatial and spectroscopic multispectral methods, and Terahertz (THZ) imaging methods have also been applied in certain cases to effectively treat patients.
The North American dermatology diagnostic devices market was valued at $138.2 million in 2014  and is poised to reach $202.4 million by 2019, at a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period.
