Global Actinic Keratosis (AK) Treatment Market
Actinic Keratosis (AK) is a precancerous skin lesion that appear on areas of the skin damaged by chronic exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun and/or indoor tanning. Solar keratosis is another name for the condition. The condition is typically characterized by rough, scaly patches on the skin caused by years of sun exposure. Actinic keratosis reflects abnormal skin cell development, due to DNA damage caused by short wavelength ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. Individuals working with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), such as coal or tar, are at a higher risk of getting AKs, as they are exposed to the UV rays for prolonged periods. A small percentage of actinic keratosis lesions have the potential to eventually culminate into a type of skin cancer, known as squamous cell carcinoma. Prevention of actinic keratosis is critically essential, as the condition usually precedes skin cancer. In case there are advanced lesions, skin biopsy is recommended for the diagnosis of AK and the eradication of highly invasive squamous cell carcinoma.

Increasing complications associated with actinic keratosis is expected to fuel the market development
The treatment of actinic keratosis as a part of preventive strategy for the reduction of interrelated disorders, such as non-melanoma skin cancer, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma is coming to the forefront. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, 2015, approximately 60% of squamous cell carcinomas of the skin probably arise from actinic keratosis. Therefore, the rising incidences of skin cancers, such as intra epidermal squamous cell carcinoma, invasive cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma is expected to augment the market growth. Moreover, the wide presence and easy availability of generic drugs for the treatment for actinic keratosis is expected to boost the market growth. However, lack of medical awareness about the skin condition, available treatments, and delayed diagnosis are some of the factors restraining the global actinic keratosis market.
