The global phototherapy equipment market was valued at approximately USD 397.59 million in 2023 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.0% over the forecast period from 2024 to 2032. Phototherapy equipment, which emits specific wavelengths of light, plays a crucial role in treating various medical conditions. It is especially significant in the management of neonatal jaundice, where blue light helps break down excess bilirubin in newborns. Moreover, phototherapy is widely utilized in dermatology to treat conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo by either slowing skin cell growth or reducing inflammation. The treatment's non-invasive nature and proven efficacy make phototherapy equipment an essential component in modern healthcare.
The market is driven by several key factors, including the rising prevalence of neonatal jaundice, which necessitates the use of phototherapy as a primary treatment method. The global increase in birth rates, particularly in developing regions with limited healthcare infrastructure, further fuels the demand for effective phototherapy solutions. Technological advancements, such as the development of LED-based phototherapy devices, have greatly enhanced treatment efficacy, patient safety, and device longevity. These innovations not only make phototherapy more attractive to healthcare providers but also contribute to the market's expansion. Additionally, growing awareness about the benefits of phototherapy and increased healthcare expenditure are further propelling market growth.
The global phototherapy equipment market also presents substantial opportunities, particularly in emerging markets across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. These regions are witnessing improvements in healthcare infrastructure and rising disposable incomes, leading to increased access to phototherapy treatments. Moreover, the trend toward home-based healthcare is driving the demand for portable and easy-to-use phototherapy devices, catering to patients who prefer treatment in the comfort of their homes. Despite these growth drivers, the market faces challenges, particularly in developing regions where the high cost of advanced phototherapy equipment and limited access to healthcare facilities can hinder market penetration. Additionally, the lack of trained personnel to operate these devices further restricts widespread adoption in these areas.
In terms of regional analysis, North America dominated the market in 2023, accounting for the largest revenue share of 39.0%. This dominance is attributed to the high prevalence of various skin conditions such as vitiligo, psoriasis, eczema, and acne. On the other hand, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to register the fastest CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period, driven by an increase in pre-term births and a rising number of individuals suffering from skin disorders.
