Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD) Overview
ACD is a type IV delayed hypersensitivity reaction caused when a small molecule, or hapten (typically under 500 daltons), penetrates the skin and binds to a host protein, forming an antigenic complex that triggers an immune response. During the sensitization phase, allergen-specific T cells are activated, which later drive inflammation upon re-exposure in the elicitation phase, manifesting as dermatitis. ACD accounts for roughly 20% of all contact dermatoses, with triggers varying by region, lifestyle habits, and regulatory differences in chemical use. Common allergens include poison ivy, which causes linear rashes at contact sites; nickel, often found in jewelry; and rubber gloves, which may lead to chronic hand dermatitis. Additional culprits are hair dyes, textile chemicals, preservatives, fragrances, sunscreens, and photoallergens, reflecting the diverse sources of exposure in daily life.
Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD) Diagnosis and Treatment Overview
The evaluation of ACD begins with a detailed medical history and careful physical examination. The specific appearance and distribution of the dermatitis often point to the causative allergen. Patch testing remains the gold standard for confirming diagnosis in persistent or unclear cases, enabling precise identification of allergens for future avoidance. While relatively simple to perform, patch testing should be used judiciously to avoid unnecessary healthcare costs. In uncertain cases, a skin biopsy can help differentiate ACD by revealing characteristic spongiosis. The cornerstone of ACD management is identifying and avoiding the offending allergen, which is the only definitive intervention. First-line treatment involves topical corticosteroids for limited involvement (less than 20% of body surface area), while oral corticosteroids are indicated for more widespread reactions. For sensitive areas like the face, eyelids, or skin folds, calcineurin inhibitors or PDE4 inhibitors offer effective alternatives with a better safety profile.
Symptomatic relief includes oral antihistamines, cool compresses, topical hydrocortisone, and moisturizers to restore skin barrier function. Vesicles should not be ruptured to avoid secondary infections. In more severe or chronic cases, topical immunomodulators like tacrolimus or phototherapy (e.g., UVA with psoralen) may be appropriate. Systemic immunosuppressants such as mycophenolate may be reserved for refractory cases. For long-term management, effective patch testing requires selecting relevant allergens, interpreting positive reactions, and providing comprehensive patient counseling. Tools like the Contact Allergen Management Program (CAMP) assist patients in identifying allergen-free products. In scenarios where complete allergen avoidance is impractical, ongoing systemic therapy may be necessary to control symptoms and prevent flares.
The epidemiology section of the ACD market report offers information on the patient populations, including historical and projected trends for each of the seven major markets.

Key Findings
The ACD therapeutics market is further expected to increase by the major drivers, such as the rising prevalent population, technological advancements, and upcoming therapies in the forecast period [2025-2034].
Despite its prevalence and impact, ACD lacks any FDA-approved treatments specifically indicated for its management, representing a significant unmet medical need. Current therapies, such as topical corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors, are used off-label and may have limitations in safety or efficacy, especially for long-term use or sensitive skin areas. There remains a critical need for targeted, well-tolerated, and approved medications that can address both acute flares and chronic cases, while minimizing adverse effects and improving quality of life for affected individuals.
With ongoing research and continued dedication, the future holds hope for even more effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure for this challenging condition. According to DelveInsight, the Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD) market in the 7MM is expected to change significantly during the study period 2020-2034.
Emerging ACD Drugs
The ACD market is expected to experience gradual changes, mainly due to the limited availability of emerging therapies in this area. Key market players, including, Edesa Biotech (EB01) among others, have demonstrated a keen interest in this condition and are actively pursuing the development of potential treatments.
EB01: Edesa Biotech
EB01 (daniluromer) is a topical, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory cream developed by Edesa Biotech for the treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic ACD. It works by inhibiting secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2), targeting inflammation at its source rather than after it occurs. In Phase II clinical trials, EB01 demonstrated significant efficacy and safety, offering a promising alternative to corticosteroids, especially for chronic ACD patients needing long-term therapy.

"Treatment of ACD involves identifying and avoiding the causative allergen. Mild cases are managed with topical corticosteroids and emollients, while widespread or severe reactions may require systemic corticosteroids. For sensitive areas, calcineurin inhibitors or PDE4 inhibitors are effective. Symptomatic relief includes antihistamines, moisturizers, and cool compresse."
"Topical corticosteroids provide symptomatic relief by reducing pruritus, with short courses of oral corticosteroids reserved for severe cases."
"Acute allergic contact dermatitis typically presents as intensely itchy papules and fluid-filled vesicles set against a red, inflamed background. When the condition becomes chronic, it often evolves into thickened, lichenified plaques that remain persistently itchy. Symptoms usually emerge within a few days following direct skin contact with the triggering allergen, localized to the exposed area."

Pipeline Development Activities
The report covers information on collaborations, acquisition and merger, licensing, patent details, and other information for emerging ACD therapies.
The primary treatment goals for ACD are to identify and eliminate exposure to the causative allergen, alleviate acute symptoms such as itching and inflammation, and prevent recurrences. Effective management aims to restore skin barrier function, reduce inflammation through appropriate medications, and improve patient quality of life. Long-term goals also include educating patients on allergen avoidance and implementing personalized prevention strategies to minimize future flares.
Managing ACD presents several challenges, including difficulty in identifying the specific allergen, especially when exposures are chronic or multifactorial. Limited availability of standardized patch testing and patient adherence to allergen avoidance complicate long-term control. Additionally, treatment options are largely off-label, with few targeted therapies available. Managing recurrent or severe cases often requires individualized care and ongoing patient education to prevent relapses and improve outcomes.
The growth of the ACD market is driven by rising global prevalence due to increased exposure to allergens in cosmetics, personal care products, and industrial chemicals. Greater public awareness, improved diagnostic tools like patch testing, and demand for safer, more effective treatments also contribute. Additionally, advancements in drug delivery systems and the aging population's heightened susceptibility to skin conditions further accelerate market expansion.
