  • Topical Corticosteroids Market Size 2024-2028

    The global topical corticosteroids market is projected to increase by USD 1.36 billion, growing at a CAGR of 4.74% from 2023 to 2028. This growth is driven by advancements in drug delivery systems, particularly for skin disorders, which are on the rise, especially among aging populations. These systems, such as topical gels, creams, lotions, and transdermal patches, offer enhanced bioavailability, reduced side effects, and better patient compliance. The incorporation of nanotechnology and biodegradable polymers has further revolutionized treatments with more targeted and controlled delivery.
