Global Dermatophytic Onychomycosis Market 2016-2020 - Increase in R&D to Develop Drugs with Disease-Modifying Properties

DUBLIN, March 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zkk9nl/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Dermatophytic Onychomycosis Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The global dermatophytic onychomycosis market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.44% during the period 2016-2020.

Dermatophytic onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the nail plate, nail bed, and, in some cases, the skin surrounding the nail plate. It is caused by yeast, dermatophytes, and molds; dermatophytes account for 90% of all cases. The fungus, especially Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Epidermophyton floccosum, infects the skin, hair, or nails.

It is often perceived by people to be an active and contagious infection. Onychomycosis may persist or worsen if not treated. The fungi that cause onychomycosis exist in common sites such as floors, soil, socks, and shoes. Therapies for onychomycosis include debridement and drugs. Debridement is time consuming and minimally effective in eradicating the fungal infection. Systemic drug treatment is most effective in treating onychomycosis.

According to the report, the increase in R&D to develop drugs with disease-modifying properties and a better safety and efficacy profile drives the market. Further, the report states that the side effects associated with dermatophytic onychomycosis drugs are a challenge to the market as they hamper the acceptance of advanced drugs to treat moderate to severe dermatophytic onychomycosis.
