Dermatologists in the US industry analysis

In recent years, the dermatology sector in the U.S. has experienced significant growth and change. Dermatologists have broadened their scope beyond conventional skin care by incorporating advanced cosmetic procedures and telehealth services. This diversification has improved patient access and significantly boosted revenue. For example, the increasing demand for minimally invasive cosmetic treatments like Botox and fillers has driven the industry's economic success. Moreover, the move towards personalized medicine, with treatments tailored to individual patient needs, has further reinforced dermatology's importance within the larger healthcare landscape. Revenue has been expanding at a CAGR of 1.9% to an expected $9.0 billion over the past five years. A slowdown in total healthcare spending and steadying patient volumes will slow growth to an expected 2.4% in 2024.

Trends and Insights

  • Demographic trends and rising incomes bring more patients into dermatologists’ offices. An aging population’s expanding medical needs and the growing popularity of cosmetic procedures have introduced new ways for dermatology providers to expand.
  • Private insurers are the largest payers of dermatology treatments. Reimbursements from commercial insurers account for nearly half of all payments to providers.
  • Metropolitan areas have higher concentrations of dermatology practices. Large cities have a higher patient demand for dermatology treatments while providing access to bigger employee pools.
  • Tech advances drive competition between practices. Practices that integrate innovative devices into treatment are more competitive.
