The projected growth of the xerosis treatment market is largely attributed to the rising healthcare expenditure. Healthcare expenditure refers to the total resources allocated to health services, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and disease management, by individuals, governments, and organizations. With advancements in medical technology, healthcare costs are increasing as newer diagnostic tools and treatments often involve higher development, implementation, and ongoing care costs. This increased spending enhances access to dermatological care, facilitating early diagnosis and ongoing management of xerosis through professional support and advanced treatment options. For example, in May 2024, the UK’s Office for National Statistics reported that total healthcare spending grew by 5.6% in 2023, while long-term health and social care expenditure rose by 2.8% in real terms in 2022. As a result, the growing healthcare expenditure is driving the expansion of the xerosis treatment market.
