Dermatoscopes Global Market Report 2024

The dermatoscopes market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.18 billion in 2023 to $1.35 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.6%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to the increasing demand for enhanced electrical safety, the growth in industrial automation, expanding application areas, the miniaturization of electronic devices, and a focus on power efficiency.

The dermatoscopes market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.19 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rise in electric vehicle (EV) adoption, the expansion of 5G networks, the growing Internet of Things (IoT) market, advancements in edge computing, and the demand for radiation-tolerant solutions. Major trends expected in the forecast period include innovations in medical devices, an increased focus on cybersecurity, advancements in semiconductor technologies, a growing demand for high-speed digital isolators, and a rising adoption of magnetic coupling technology.

The growth of the dermatoscope market is anticipated to be driven by the rising incidence of skin cancer. Skin cancer, characterized by abnormal skin cell proliferation often due to ultraviolet radiation, can be visualized and differentiated using a dermatoscope. This device magnifies and illuminates the skin's surface, aiding in the examination of skin lesions. In 2021, the American Cancer Society reported an estimated 6.3% increase in skin cancer cases in the US, rising from 108,420 in 2020 to 115,320. Additionally, around 11,540 deaths from skin cancer were expected in 2021. Consequently, the growing incidence of skin cancer is a significant driver for the dermatoscope market.

The increased occurrence of fungal infections is expected to contribute to the growth of the dermatoscope market. Fungal infections, caused by the invasion of fungi in the body, can be detected early and accurately diagnosed using dermatoscopes. These devices aid dermatological practitioners in prompt treatment and prevention of fungal infections. In 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a three-fold increase in cases of Candida auris fungal infections, reaching a total of 4,041 from the previous year. The rise in fungal infections is a key factor driving the demand for dermatoscopes.

The high costs associated with dermatoscopes are anticipated to impede market growth. The elevated prices of dermatoscopes limit their widespread adoption, making them less accessible to dermatological practitioners. Dermatoscope prices in the US, as of January 2024, range from $395 to $1,595, depending on the model and features. This high cost poses a challenge to the broader adoption and accessibility of dermatoscopes in the market.

Major companies in the dermatoscope market are focusing on the development of innovative lenses, such as optional conversion lenses. Optional conversion lenses can be attached to a dermatoscope to extend its focal length, allowing for closer examination without physical proximity. For instance, Casio Computer Co. Ltd. launched the DZ-S50 dermoscope in January 2021, featuring an optional conversion lens (DSL-50M) that enhances zoom capabilities from 6x to 9x with a single touch. This innovation provides dermatologists with enhanced imaging capabilities.

In December 2021, Canfield Scientific Inc., a prominent dermatoscope and imaging systems manufacturer, acquired Medici Medical s.r.l. The acquisition is expected to enhance customer-driven innovation and strengthen customer support in the Italian market. Medici Medical s.r.l., an Italian-based company, is recognized for its production of dermatoscopes and other medical equipment. The collaboration aims to deliver high-quality products and excellent customer service to the dermatoscope market.

A dermatoscope is a portable visual tool utilized by doctors to inspect and identify skin lesions and illnesses, such as melanoma, using visible light, which can be sourced from incandescent or LED bulbs. It is a magnifying glass-such as instrument equipped with a magnifier and a light source, aiding in the examination of the skin, scalp, hair, and nails. Dermatoscopes reveal characteristics of the skin's outer layer that are not visible to the naked eye.

The main types of dermatoscopes are contact dermatoscope, hybrid dermatoscope, and non-contact dermatoscope. A contact dermatoscope is specifically designed for inspecting skin lesions that are in direct contact with the skin. Dermatoscopes utilize various technologies such as LED, xenon, halogen, and ultraviolet, and are available in handheld, trolley-mounted, and headband configurations. These devices find applications in examining skin tumors, scabies, warts, fungal infections, and other dermatological conditions, and are commonly used in hospitals and dermatology clinics.
