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 rise in telehealth and telemedicine is projected to drive the growth of the online dermatology consultation market in the future. Telehealth encompasses the use of telecommunications technology to deliver a broad range of healthcare services and information remotely, while telemedicine specifically focuses on remote clinical consultations and healthcare delivery. Online dermatology consultations provide efficient triage, enable remote monitoring, and extend services to underserved areas, offering a cost-effective and convenient alternative to traditional in-person visits. The integration with electronic health records facilitates better information sharing and continuity of care, positioning online dermatology as an essential element of modern healthcare delivery. For example, in February 2023, the 2022 Digital Health Consumer Adoption Survey by Rock Health, a US-based healthcare organization, revealed that 80% of respondents had used telemedicine at some point in their lives, an increase of 8 percentage points from 72% in 2021. Although the usage of telemedicine varies among demographic groups, there were notable increases in adoption throughout 2022. Thus, the growth in telehealth and telemedicine is propelling the expansion 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.

This new skin health service offers remote dermatology support through smartphones or tablets, allowing users to receive a diagnosis or treatment plan within three working days.

With exclusive pricing, users can access consultations at a much lower cost than the standard rate. The service aims to enhance overall health while minimizing work absences due to skin issues.
