Iceland, a country known for its hot springs, glaciers, and Northern Lights, has a growing market for dermatological drugs.

Customer preferences: Icelandic customers have shown a preference for natural and organic skincare products, which has led to an increase in demand for dermatological drugs with natural ingredients. Customers are also willing to pay a premium for products that are sustainably sourced and environmentally friendly.

Trends in the market: The dermatological drugs market in Iceland is expected to grow due to an increase in skin diseases, particularly eczema and psoriasis, which are common in the country's cold and dry climate. Additionally, the aging population has led to an increase in demand for anti-aging products. The COVID-19 pandemic has also led to an increase in demand for hand sanitizers and other dermatological products.

Local special circumstances: Iceland's harsh climate and long winters have led to an increase in skin diseases, making dermatological drugs a necessity for many Icelanders. The country's small population size and remote location have also led to a limited availability of certain drugs, which can drive up prices.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: Iceland's strong economy and high standard of living have led to an increase in disposable income, which has allowed consumers to spend more on skincare products. The country's healthcare system also provides universal coverage for prescription drugs, which has made dermatological drugs more accessible to the population. However, the country's small market size and limited availability of certain drugs can make it challenging for companies to enter the market.
