Dermascopy is a non-invasive procedure for the evaluation of skin, dermoepidermal junction, and structures of the dermis, which are not visible with naked eyes. The derma scope will link between clinical and histopathological examination to establish proper diagnosis of diseases related to the skin.

Dermoscopy is a highly useful technique for the evaluation of pigmented skin lesions. It acts as a link between the histology and clinical view, allowing for earlier detection of cutaneous melanoma. Moreover, it helps in the diagnosis of several other pigmented skin lesions such as moles, atypical nexuses, blue nexuses, haemangioma, seborrhoea keratosis, and pigmented basal cell carcinomas that can often present like melanoma in clinical practice. This page reviews dermoscopy, from the background to the fundamental ideas behind how to interpret dermoscopic images. Prompt surgical excision and early diagnosis are the most important goals in cutaneous melanoma prevention. Since the dermoscopists learn to recognize dermoscopy-specific characteristics, dermoscopy has improved the accuracy of melanoma detection.

Market Dynamics - Market Drivers

Increasing Prevalence of Skin Cancer

• The main driver for the dermoscopy market is the increasing incidence of skin cancer. The causes of the increasing incidence rates of skin cancer, especially melanoma, have become one of the most common types of cancer worldwide include increased sun exposure, ozone layer depletion, and indoor tanning habits. The incidence of non-melanoma skin malignancies, such as squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma, is also on the rise, and this only adds to the growing burden of skin diseases. The more people become aware of these risks, the more individuals seek early detection and preventive measures.
• Early detection of skin cancer plays a significant role in ensuring effective treatment. Ocular inspection as a routine procedure may sometimes fail to notice suspicious lesions. That is where dermoscopy becomes necessary. Dermatologists and other healthcare providers have, therefore, adopted the Dermoscopy as a universal adjunct in the screening for skin cancer due to this global focus on preventive healthcare. With increased numbers, there is a demand for advanced diagnostic tools that could help in the early diagnosis and accurate detection of cancer. Dermoscopy machines and services are in huge demand in both clinical and primary care settings due to the increased number of cases of skin cancer and greater awareness of early diagnosis.

Key Findings:

• The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that skin cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, with more than 3 million new cases reported annually.
• France's National Cancer Institute reports more than a 3-fold increase in new cases of skin cancer over the last 30 years, and while it is attributed to sun exposure and population ageing, climate change will obviously be worsening this trend.
• The deadliest type of skin cancer, melanoma, is responsible for 132,000 new cases and 60,000 deaths every year in the world.

Technological Advancements in Dermatoscope

• Rapid advances in Dermoscopy technology are significantly driving the market's growth by improving the diagnostic accuracy and user satisfaction. With the advancement of high resolution digital systems, conventional handheld dermatoscopes can achieve high resolution imaging and connectivity with computers and mobile phones. Digital dermatoscopes help dermatologists track and diagnose skin lesions through taking images of those lesions, storing them, and comparing them at different times. The advent of polarised light technology and high-magnification lenses enhances the ability to see subsurface skin structures, which improves the differentiation of benign from malignant lesions.

Market Opportunities

Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Dermoscopy

• The use of AI in dermoscopy will have considerable potential for further market penetration. Dermatologists, through the use of AI algorithm-based analysis on dermatoscopic images, can quickly and effectively identify skin cancer and skin diseases. AI could improve productivity in dermatology practices: it would reduce the number of diagnostic errors, streamline workflows to optimize the management of different cases, and enable the more efficient assessment of skin alterations. Besides this, the possibility of teledermatology has emerged with this technology, because AI-powered platforms may perform assessments and consultations remotely, thereby improving access to specialized care in deprived areas. As AI technology advances, probably, creation of user-friendly software tools and applications will lead to a rise in the use of dermoscopy among medical practitioners. The use of AI can highly improve patient outcomes and reduce pressure on healthcare systems while developing a more efficient diagnostic procedure in the market for dermoscopy.

Key Findings:

• In Mar 2024, announce that FotoFinder Systems has signed a definitive agreement to acquire California-based DermLite LLC,
• In November 2022, HEINE Optotechnik GmbH & Co. KG declared an increase in its in-house production capacity so that the firm would reduce dependency on external suppliers in order to maximize its production capacity.

Market Restraining Factors

High cost of Dermatoscopes & Presence of Alternatives

• The expensive nature of the Dermoscopy may hinder its adoption. This is the main barrier in the dermoscopy market, especially for dermatology practices and smaller healthcare facilities. Advanced digital dermatoscopes that deliver improved features such as high-resolution imaging and connection with diagnostic software can be expensive. The expensive nature of such equipment may make it hard for tight-budget clinics to purchase such equipment. This may lead to variation in the access of patients to high-quality dermatological care.
• Another limitation is alternative diagnostic methods. Although less sensitive than dermoscopy, traditional eye examinations are common because they are inexpensive and easy to use. Non-invasive imaging modalities such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) are also excellent alternatives for the evaluation of skin lesions. Some settings may prefer others based on practitioner experience or cost considerations.

Segmentation Analysis

The market scope is segmented because of by Product, by Technology, by Modality, By End-use.

By Product

Based on the Product of the market is segmented into Contact Dermatoscope, Hybrid Dermatoscope, Noncontact Dermatoscope.

• Hybrid devices – which have the option to use either cross-polarised or oil immersion to reduce surface light scatter.

The devices that work through cross-polarization and oil immersion vary since the refractive properties of the structures in question morphologically behave differently to polarizing light. Because of this, instruments capable of producing images by oil immersion and by cross-polarization have been designed. The DermLite II Hybrid was the first device designed with this additional capability. It is not as brilliant as the Dermlite II PRO HR or the Heine Delta 20 but was the one that was quick to gain popularity. The release of the brighter DermLite DL3 has all but sealed the DermLite II Hybrid's demise, consigning it to the second tier of hybrid technology. While imaging brightness is concerned, DermLite DL3 performs much better in polarised mode and at par with the Heine Delta 20 in non-polarized mode. Hybrid devices that are now capable of making clear polarised as well as non-polarized images owing to the technological advancements have also come into existence. With Dino-Lite DermaScope, a new generation of small and reasonably priced dermatoscopes has appeared. These user-friendly, portable USB digital microscopes are perfect for getting clear, sharp images and movies of a variety of skin conditions without causing the patient any pain or delay. An adjustable polariser provided with all Dino-Lite DermaScopes minimizes the glossing effect that the skin has on images taken. This allows the imaging of nevi, lesions, and layers of the skin in more detail. While using water or oil is supported by the DermaScope, it is not always necessary. There are many magnification levels for the Dino-Lite DermaScopes. The most popular models come with two levels of magnification (about 20x and 45x), which may be adjusted without adjusting the distance from the skin. It is also possible to capture a larger-surface-area image at a magnification of about 10x if the extra cap is used.

By Technology

Based on the Technology of the market is segmented into LED, Xenon, Halogen, Ultraviolet.

LED is the most prominent category under different existing technologies in the dermoscopy market. Dominance can be attributed to a few characteristics, including its longevity, efficiency, and capability of producing outstanding illumination without excessive heat. Bright and stable lighting provided by the LED dermatoscopes is a prerequisite for precisely viewing the lesions in skin and other underlying tissues. Enhanced diagnostic capability enhances visibility and thus leads to early detection of skin cancers and more favourable patient outcomes.

Moreover, the energy efficiency of LED technology is superior to other traditional sources of light, such as halogen and xenon. This requires lesser maintenance and replacement because it consumes less power and has a much more operational life. Therefore, it reduces the total cost of ownership for medical facilities, which aligns with growing attention towards sustainability in medical procedures.
