The Global Onychomycosis Treatment Market was valued at USD 4.2 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% to reach USD 6.9 billion by 2034.This market growth is driven by the increasing prevalence of onychomycosis worldwide, heightened awareness about the risks associated with nail fungal infections, and the growing adoption of drug therapies for treatment. The rise in age-related cases of onychomycosis further supports this market expansion.
Additionally, the surge in online pharmacy usage and consumer preference for self-treatment has propelled the market, as it has become easier to access over the counter (OTC) antifungal medications via e-commerce platforms. Furthermore, the rising incidence of diabetes, which heightens the risk of onychomycosis due to weakened immune systems and poor circulation, is also contributing to the market's growth.
The aging population is increasingly becoming a key factor in the rising incidence of nail fungal infections. As individuals age, their immune systems often weaken, making them more susceptible to infections, including onychomycosis. Age-related factors such as reduced blood circulation, slower nail growth, and a decline in skin barrier function contribute to the higher risk of developing fungal infections.
Moreover, older adults are more likely to suffer from conditions like diabetes or poor circulation, both of which further elevate the likelihood of fungal nail infections. The demand for effective treatments is growing as the aging population requires more attention to their healthcare needs, including the prevention and management of these infections.
The drug segment was valued at USD 3.2 billion in 2024. The popularity of oral antifungal agents, which are considered the first-line treatment for onychomycosis, is fueling this segment's growth. Medications like itraconazole, terbinafine, griseofulvin, and ketoconazole are widely used, with easy availability in pharmacies enhancing market demand. The growing emphasis on nail health and cosmetic concerns related to onychomycosis also boosts the need for effective drugs.
The distal subungual onychomycosis (DSO) segment accounted for the largest market share of 68.3% in 2024. As the most common form of onychomycosis, DSO affects individuals with conditions such as diabetes and those with reduced peripheral circulation, which makes them more prone to infections. As the global population ages, DSO cases are expected to increase, further driving the need for both topical and systemic antifungal treatments.
U.S. Onychomycosis Treatment Market was valued at USD 1.6 billion in 2024. High regional growth is attributed to increased awareness of nail fungal infections and the availability of various treatment options. The demand for aesthetic appeal and hygiene drives people to seek early detection and timely treatment, reducing transmission rates and associated complications. The wide range of treatment options available in the U.S. is expected to continue supporting market expansion in the region throughout the forecast period.
