According to DelveInsight’s estimates, the 12-month prevalence of vitiligo was 8.2 million in 2023 across the 7MM, with nearly 500K cases treated. Both prevalence and treatment rates are projected to increase over the forecast period (2025–2034). Furthermore, the US accounted for approximately 60% of the total diagnosed vitiligo cases in the 7MM. Within EU4 and the UK, Germany reported the highest vitiligo patient share, followed by the UK, while Spain had the lowest.

The DelveInsight report further categorizes the vitiligo patient population into several main groups for analysis. It differentiates between segmental vitiligo and non-segmental vitiligo. Non-segmental vitiligo is more common, typically symmetrical, and can be classified into several subtypes, including acrofacial, mucosal, generalized, universal, mixed, and rare forms. Mixed vitiligo refers to instances where both segmental and non-segmental patterns are observed in the same patient. Additionally, there are unclassified forms, such as focal vitiligo (characterized by isolated patches) and cases that do not fit neatly into the other categories. This classification is essential for understanding the distribution, progression, and treatment responses of different vitiligo types and is crucial for accurate epidemiological assessment.

While there is no definitive cure for vitiligo, several treatment options are aimed at vitiligo management and potentially reversing depigmentation. A milestone in vitiligo treatment occurred with the FDA approval of OPZELURA (ruxolitinib cream) by Incyte in July 2022, marking the first pharmacologic therapy specifically approved for repigmenting nonsegmental vitiligo. This topical JAK inhibitor has revolutionized the treatment landscape by targeting the underlying inflammatory pathways that drive melanocyte destruction. OPZELURA continues to demonstrate strong market uptake, addressing a critical unmet need in this challenging autoimmune skin disorder.

According to the DelveInsight report, the vitiligo therapies pipeline is robust and promising, with several novel treatments in late-stage development. AbbVie’s RINVOQ (upadacitinib), a selective JAK1 inhibitor currently in Phase III clinical trials, has shown encouraging results with clinically meaningful repigmentation of extensive vitiligo after 52 weeks of treatment. Similarly, Pfizer’s LITFULO (ritlecitinib), targeting JAK3 and TEC kinase family pathways, has demonstrated efficacy in early trials and is progressing through Phase III development with potential approval anticipated in the coming years.

Recent developments highlight the dynamic nature of the vitiligo treatment landscape. In January 2025, VYNE Therapeutics completed patient enrollment in its Phase IIb trial assessing VYN201 gel (repibresib) for nonsegmental vitiligo, with top-line data expected in mid-2025. This novel pan-bromo domain and extra-terminal domain (BET) inhibitor has shown promising results in earlier trials, demonstrating significant clinical response with rapid onset of action and favorable safety profile. Additionally, Incyte’s povorcitinib (INCB54707), an investigational oral JAK1 inhibitor, has reported positive data from its Phase IIb trial in extensive nonsegmental vitiligo patients, further expanding the treatment options on the horizon.

Furthermore, in March 2025, a pre-clinical study revealed that a natural compound derived from gut-friendly bacteria can significantly slow the progression of vitiligo in mice and may help restore skin pigmentation.

The vitiligo treatment market is highly competitive, with major players including Incyte (NASDAQ: INCY), Pfizer (NYSE: PFE), AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV), Astellas (TSE: 4503), Dr. Reddy’s (NYSE: RDY), Bausch Health (NYSE: BHC), Merck– (NYSE: MRK), Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY), Novartis (NYSE: NVS) Arcutis(NASDAQ: ARQT), Dermavant, Aclaris (NASDAQ: ACRS), Glenmark (NSE: GLENMARK), Clinuve (ASX: CUV)l, Edesa Biotech (NASDAQ: EDSA), STRATA Skin Sciences (NASDAQ: SSKN), Temprian, Villaris, Boston Pharmaceuticals, Applied Biology, Panacea Biotech (BSE: 531349), Viatris (NASDAQ: VTRS), Teva (NYSE: TEVA), Salix, and Vyne Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VYNE), all advancing a variety of therapies through robust R&D and strategic collaborations.

Looking ahead, the vitiligo market is expected to witness continued innovation driven by enhanced understanding of disease mechanisms, biomarker development, and personalized medicine approaches. While significant progress has been made with JAK inhibitors, challenges remain in addressing complete repigmentation, preventing disease recurrence, and improving treatment accessibility and affordability across diverse patient populations. Emerging therapies focusing on novel mechanisms beyond JAK inhibition, including targeted immunomodulators and melanocyte-stimulating agents, hold promise for addressing these unmet needs and further transforming the vitiligo treatment landscape.

DelveInsight’s analysis underscores that despite therapeutic advances, substantial opportunities remain for developing more effective, convenient, and affordable treatment options that can achieve durable repigmentation and improved quality of life for vitiligo patients worldwide. As research continues and awareness grows, the vitiligo market is poised for remarkable expansion and therapeutic innovation through 2034.
