Psoriasis is a long-lasting disease which forms patches at skin surface. It involves rapid development of cells which produce silver scales, thick, and make the skin, flaky, red, dry and itchy. Various types of psoriasis are guttate, vulgaris, pustular, inverse, erythrodermic, palmoplantar, nail, and scalp psoriasis. In addition, approximately 10%-12% among the populations has severe diagnosis and suffers from different forms of psoriasis and 85%-90% of the people fall under major to minor category of psoriasis. At present, long-lasting cure is not available for this syndrome. However in order to halt the growth of cells on the surface of the skin, preventative measures can be adopted. Psoriasis can be treated either with biopharmaceuticals or pharmaceuticals therapies through systemic and topical process. These medications when directed, either consumed orally, or by applying on the skin,  or through inoculations, specifically block parts of immune system process by targeting phosphodiesterase type 4, tumour necrosis factor, and interleukin among others.

Market Dynamics

Availability of better and advanced diagnostic devices results in constructing assurance in people, thereby resulting in adoption of treatment. Rising healthcare expenditure is also stimulating market growth. Due to the high cost in drug development, increasing availability of various generic products, side effects from the biologics and systemic medication such as liver and kidney damage, high blood pressure, infection, and cancer of the lymph nodes, also health insurance issues, low efficacy of the product and lack of access to healthcare may impede market growth. Increasing demand of psoriasis medicines in emerging economies, development of long-lasting drugs is expected to boost psoriasis market in forthcoming years.
