Teledermatology Market Research, 2032
The global teledermatology market size was valued at $9.5 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $38.9 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 15.2% from 2023 to 2032. Teledermatology is a subspecialty of dermatology and probably among the most popular applications of e-health and telemedicine. Tele-dermatologists use telemedicine to make diagnoses and determine the best course of action to help a patient. They use telecommunications methods such as audio, visual, and data tools rather than seeing patients in person.
