Phototherapy Equipment Market Size, Global Sector / Industry Report & Analysis, 2025 (Includes Business Impact of COVID-19)

                                          
Abstract, Snapshot, Market Analysis & Market Definition: Global Phototherapy Equipment Market


The global Phototherapy Equipment market size is projected to reach US$ 857.21 million by 2026, from US$ 594.14 million in 2020, at a CAGR of 6.3% during 2021-2026. Rising prevalence of skin diseases, such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne, is the key factor driving the market growth. In U.S., acne affects nearly 50 million people each year, as reported by the American Academy of Dermatology.

Phototherapy treatment is also very useful for treating neonatal jaundice. In this treatment, the neonates are exposed to fluorescent light, which helps them recover at a faster rate. Occurrence of jaundice among newborns is common, however, if it persists for long, then doctors use phototherapy devices for treatment. According to the Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences (SJAMS), 25 to 50% of all infants and premature neonates develop jaundice.

Hence, with the rising cases of newborns, the demand for this equipment is also projected to increase in the near future. Constant technological advancements are also likely to boost market growth. For instance, D-Rev, Design Revolution, a non-profit design firm introduced LEDs for the treatment of neonatal jaundice.

This device has proved to be more energy-efficient, which lasts 10 times longer than the conventional devices and is also comparatively cheaper. Research done by Stanford Medical Schools, one of the partners of D-Rev, has proved its efficient application in the treatment of jaundice therapy. Most of the phototherapy devices use compact fluorescent bulbs due to its uniformity and ease of use.
