Market Overview
The Xerosis Market is anticipated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.71% from 2024 to 2032. Xeroderma, also referred to as xerosis, is a condition characterized by excessively dry skin that is the result of over-cleansing, excessive showering, residing in low-humidity areas, dehydration, extended sun exposure, and aging. Scaling, which is the visible peeling of the outer skin layer, itching, and skin cracking are common symptoms of xerosis, which typically affects the cranium, lower legs, arms, and thighs. Dry, itching, and scaly skin, as well as flaky skin and irritated red skin, are additional symptoms. Xerosis is a prevalent condition during the winter season, as the epidermis experiences a loss of moisture because of the cold, dry air. Xerosis can also be caused by a deficiency of vitamin A and vitamin D, which can be caused by systemic illness and adverse effects associated with medication. Application of moisturizers, emollients, and other treatments is the conventional approach to treating xerosis.


Lifestyle modifications are also beneficial for xerosis. The perspiration glands and sebaceous glands are influenced by hormonal changes that result from ageing, diabetes, and other factors, which elevates the likelihood of Xerosis. The application of highly occlusive barriers to the epidermis, such as petrolatum, vegetable oils, and mineral oil, yields exceptional outcomes. Lanolin, a natural lipid derived from sheep’s wool, is one of the most effective treatments for xeroderma, as it replaces the natural lipids in human epidermis. Lanolin is a viscous, waxy substance that is difficult and inconvenient to use, and it is a common allergen. This is its primary disadvantage.
