Customer preferences: Customers in Malaysia are increasingly seeking out dermatological drugs to treat a variety of skin conditions, such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. This trend is driven in part by the growing awareness and concern for skincare among the population, as well as the increasing prevalence of skin diseases.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the dermatological drugs market in Malaysia is the growing popularity of topical treatments. These products are preferred by many customers due to their ease of use and lower risk of side effects compared to oral medications. Additionally, there is a growing demand for natural and organic skincare products, which is driving the development of new formulations and ingredients.

Local special circumstances: Malaysia has a tropical climate, which means that there is a higher incidence of skin conditions related to sun exposure, such as hyperpigmentation and melasma. This has led to the development of specialized products that target these specific conditions, such as skin brightening creams and treatments.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growing demand for dermatological drugs in Malaysia is also being driven by broader macroeconomic factors, such as the country's rapidly expanding middle class and increasing disposable income. As more people are able to afford healthcare and skincare products, the market for dermatological drugs is expected to continue to grow. Additionally, the government has been investing in healthcare infrastructure and promoting medical tourism, which is also contributing to the growth of the market.
