For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2030, one out of every six individuals globally will be over the age of 60. The number of individuals above 60 amounted to 1 billion in 2020 and is projected to rise to 1.4 billion in 2030. The elderly population is anticipated to experience the most rapid growth in Eastern and South-Eastern Asia, with a twofold increase expected in the 65 and older age group, followed by Central and Southern Asia, reaching 328.1 million by 2050.
Onychomycosis Market Trends:
Rising Demand for Topical Therapies is Driving the Market Growth
The market growth rate for onychomycosis is being driven by the increasing demand for topical treatments preferred by patients. Such treatments are recommended by doctors based on various factors such as nail involvement, infecting organism, patient characteristics, comorbidities, current medications, biomechanics, as well as cost and accessibility. These factors are taken into consideration in order to create personalized treatment plans for each patient.
The main goal of topical treatment is to eliminate the fungal infection by achieving a mycological cure and restoring the nails to a normal, healthy appearance. Efinaconazole is the preferred initial topical therapy for patients with milder forms of the disease. For older patients with diabetes and severe disease, a combination of topical medications with terbinafine or fluconazole is advised for the topical treatment.
For instance, in July 2022, Zydus received USFDA approval for Efinaconazole Topical Solution, 10%. The medication will be produced at the topical manufacturing facility owned by Zydus Group in India.
Rising Technological Advancements is Driving the Market Growth
The onychomycosis market is experiencing significant growth. The market growth is driven by advanced technologies such as lasers, which are considered effective treatment choices for onychomycosis.
The majority of lasers operate on the concept of selective photothermolysis, in which laser energy is primarily absorbed by the fungal mycelia. This causes a quick rise in temperature within the mycelia, leading to the death of fungal cells. Since the treatment is focused, the neighboring tissue remains unaffected. This reduces the risk of systemic side effects and drives the onychomycosis market revenue.
For instance, Optima Foot and Ankle in North America utilizes the Lunula Laser, the non-thermal laser with FDA 510(k) clearance. Lunula is a dual-diode, Class-2 laser designed to eradicate fungal infections and encourage the growth of healthy new nails. One laser diode utilizes a 405nm wavelength to eliminate the fungus beneath the toenail. The second laser diode operates at a 635nm wavelength to stimulate the germinal/matrix tissue for the production of new, healthy nails.
Onychomycosis Market Segment Insights:
Onychomycosis Type Insights:
The global onychomycosis market segmentation, based on type, includes distal subungual onychomycosis, white superficial onychomycosis, proximal subungual onychomycosis, and others. The distal subungual onychomycosis segment dominated the market owing to the rising number of approvals by the FDA in response to the increasing demand for more effective medications for onychomycosis treatment.
For instance, according to the National Library of Medicine, Terbinafine 10% solution (MOB-015) was granted approval by the U.S. FDA for phase three clinical trials. Terbinafine 10% solution (MOB-015) is an effective choice for treating mild to moderate distal subungual onychomycosis.
Onychomycosis Treatment Insights:
The global onychomycosis market segmentation, based on treatment, includes topical, oral, and others. The topical segment dominated the market over the forecast period as topical treatments are associated with fewer side effects. Moreover, the ongoing research is focused on developing new topical formulations that act more effectively as alternatives to existing topical therapies.
For instance, in January 2024, Vanda Pharmaceuticals received FDA approval to advance with the Investigational New Drug VTR-297, a topical antifungal solution intended for the treatment of onychomycosis.

Onychomycosis Regional Insights:
By region, the study provides market insights into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. The North America region dominated the market in 2023 owing to the increased occurrence of the target disease and the presence of supportive government policies.
For instance, according to a publication in October 2021 by the American Academy of Family Physicians, the onychomycosis prevalence in North America among adults was estimated to be 13.8% higher than the previous year. This high prevalence is driving the need for approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for effective treatments in managing onychomycosis disease.
For instance, in March 2022, Lupin Limited was granted authorization by the U.S. FDA to market its abbreviated new drug application (ANDA), Efinaconazole Topical Solution, 10%, in the American market. The product will be manufactured at Lupin's facility in India.
Further, the major countries studied in the market report are the US, Canada, Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and Brazil.
The U.S. onychomycosis market accounted for the largest market share in the North American region, owing to the rising prevalence of onychomycosis disease and the growing awareness of the significant potential of onychomycosis drugs in the treatment of this disease.
For instance, according to a report published in 2020 by the National Institute of Health, onychomycosis, a fungal infection that mainly affects the nail, nail bed, and surrounding tissues, is a highly prevalent infection and impacts around 32 million people in the United States.
This rise in onychomycosis has led American companies to allocate substantial funds to acquire and merge with other key companies to contribute towards the advancement of these medications.
The Asia-Pacific onychomycosis market is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2024 to 2032, owing to the high prevalence of onychomycosis in the region. Several factors contribute to the rising prevalence of onychomycosis, including limited access to healthcare services, a growing elderly population, poor hygiene practices, and extensive urbanization. The humid and warm climate in the Asia-Pacific region further exacerbates the prevalence of onychomycosis. Furthermore, major industry players are concentrating on developing innovative products to drive the Asia Pacific onychomycosis market revenue.
For instance, in March 2021, the Tianjin Institute of Pharmaceutical Research and HUYABIO International partnered to file a new drug application (NDA) for antifungal drug efinaconazole, as Jublia, to treat onychomycosis.
