Atopic dermatitis is an inflammatory skin reaction to many external or internal causes. Internal causes include ingestion of allergic items such as food, medicines, autoimmune disorders, infections, etc., chronic skin disorders, etc. In addition, external factors such as hay fever, dry skin, sweating, extreme hot or cold weather conditions, etc., can aggravate the atopic dermatitis condition leading to eczema and complications. It is mainly seen in younger children and moderately improves with age. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, atopic dermatitis in adults is more resistant to medication than in infants and children. According to a pharmaceutical company report, atopic dermatitis is estimated to affect about 15% to 20% of children worldwide.

In the 2019 Global Burden of Disease Research Database, atopic dermatitis is the leading cause of skin-related disease, affecting up to 25% of the world population, according to JAAD International. In addition, up to 25% of nurses suffer from dermatitis due to regular and frequent hand washing and protective gloves, which makes the skin dry and causes atopic dermatitis. These numbers are predicted to grow with food allergies and seasonal fluctuations, thereby driving the MEA Atopic Dermatitis Market.

Several creams, gels, and medications are prescribed to treat atopic dermatitis; these contain drugs such as steroids, antihistamines, antibiotics, emollients, etc. The growing prevalence of allergies is the main driver for the MEA Atopic Dermatitis Market during the forecast period. Other factors driving this market are the wide range of treatment modalities available in the region, growing focus on research and development, increase in the rate of children, and rising campaigns to generate awareness among people. These factors are said to positively impact the MEA Atopic Dermatitis Market during the analysis duration.

The main factors affecting the MEA market growth are the tough competition between key market players and stringent regulations for product approvals. Furthermore, steroids creams and gels are relatively expensive and are often not covered in the reimbursement policies; this makes it challenging for poor people to afford a long-term supply of the medicines. In addition, the lack of healthcare awareness and infrastructure in the MEA region will hamper the market's growth.
