The online dermatology consultation market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.65 billion in 2023 to $4.23 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.0%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing awareness of skin health, the emphasis on convenience and accessibility, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the cost-efficiency offered by online dermatology consultations.

The online dermatology consultation market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.64 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), the expansion of e-health platforms, regulatory support, the adoption of a patient-centric approach, and the influence of global health events. Major trends in this period include changes in regulatory and reimbursement policies, the implementation of enhanced data security measures, increased emphasis on patient education and engagement, the incorporation of advanced imaging technologies, and the integration of artificial intelligence for assistance in dermatological consultations.

The anticipated growth of the online dermatology consultation market is driven by the increasing prevalence of skin conditions. Skin conditions, encompassing dermatologic disorders such as acne, eczema, skin cancer, psoriasis, and vitiligo, prompt the demand for online dermatology consultations, also known as tele dermatology. This virtual mode of consulting with dermatologists leverages telecommunication technologies to offer patients efficient, convenient, and cost-effective diagnosis and treatment. Notably, as per data from 'The National Psoriasis Foundation' in December 2022, the US witnessed over 8 million recorded cases of psoriasis in 2022, indicating an increase from 7.5 million in the previous year, 2021. Consequently, the upward trend in the incidence of skin conditions is a pivotal factor propelling the growth of the online dermatology consultation market.

The expansion of telehealth and telemedicine is expected to further drive the growth of the online dermatology consultation market. Telehealth, involving the use of telecommunications technology for remote healthcare services, and telemedicine, specifically facilitating remote clinical consultations, offer a valuable avenue for online dermatology consultations. This approach provides efficient triage, facilitates remote monitoring, and extends healthcare services to underserved areas. Offering a cost-effective and convenient alternative to traditional in-person visits, online dermatology consultations integrate with electronic health records, ensuring seamless information sharing and continuity of care. Notably, in October 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that telemedicine was utilized by 37.0% of adults in the US within the preceding 12 months, underscoring the increasing adoption of telehealth services and, consequently, propelling the growth of the online dermatology consultation market.

A prominent trend in the online dermatology consultation market is the incorporation of technological innovations by companies seeking to maintain their market positions. For example, in September 2022, Oro Health Technology, a Canadian telemedicine technology company, collaborated with MCI Onehealth Inc., a Canadian healthcare technology company, to launch the 'MCI Dermatology Connect platform' in Ontario. This platform, developed using Oro Health's AI technology, adheres to HIPAA norms, ensuring reliability and high-security standards in medical processes. The platform eliminates the need for appointments between patients and doctors, reducing waiting times and enhancing patient convenience.

Major players in the online dermatology consultation market are engaging in partnerships to develop new products and fortify their market presence.

This partnership aims to enhance access to DermTech's Melanoma Test through DermatologistOnCall's telemedicine platform, providing convenient access to DermTech's non-invasive genomic tests for melanoma, the leading cause of skin cancer deaths.

In April 2021, Evernorth Health, Inc., a US-based healthcare services provider, acquired MDLIVE Group, a leading provider of virtual dermatology healthcare services, for an undisclosed amount.
