Acne, Eczema, and Asthma

ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The headline of our written offering today probably appears a little different from our regular titles. Typically we don’t lead with things that are so widely despised or feared. But when we are discussing biopharmaceutical company Hoth Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOTH) the widespread loathing of the aforementioned maladies is precisely the point.

Since Hoth is intent on developing remedies for these afflictions the size of these markets is important. And since nearly every reader of today’s missive has encountered one of them or surely known someone who has it does directly speak to the market opportunity.

Let’s take them one by one.

Acne:

Hoth announced it was entering into a research collaboration agreement with Weill Cornell Medicine to examine the ability of retinoic acid metabolism blocking agents (RAMBA) to block acne pathogenic gene expression in human keratinocytes, mouse skin, and carcinogenesis in mice.

According to Grand View Research, the global acne drug market size is expected to reach USD 5.9 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., registering a 4.2% CAGR during the forecast period. Several factors such as emergence of biologics, unhealthy lifestyle, and rising disease incidence are anticipated to drive the market.

The Business Research Firm believes the global dermatitis drugs market which was valued at about $17.88 billion in 2018 is expected to grow to $25.52 billion at an annual growth rate of 9.3% through 2022.
