== '''USA market study''' ==
===Historic Sales===
* The Acne Treatment Manufacturing OTC industry has maintained strong growth during the past five years. As per IBIS World estimates from 2007 to 2012, revenue has grown steady, and it is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 2.4% to $2.3 billion.
* Because acne-prone individuals consider treatment products a necessary expense, revenue continued to rise during the recession, though growth did slow as consumers switched to more inexpensive products.
* Increasing prevalence of adult-onset and persistent acne conditions has given rise to new, targeted products and an expanded consumer base, another factor that has aided revenue growth during the period.
* In 2012, industry revenue is expected to maintain its growth, gaining 2.7% during the year, due to modest improvements in per capita disposable income.

===Industry Forecast===
* From 2012 to 2017, industry revenue is expected to go up an annualized rate of 3.1% to $2.7 billion from current level of $2.3 billion.
* Improving economic conditions is likely to drive the market, as greater disposable income growth allows consumers to spend on higher-priced over-the-counter (OTC) items.

=='''Japan Market Study'''==
===Market Facts===
* Acne treatments most dynamic with 20% current value growth in 2007
* Acne treatments were the best performing product area in 2007, achieving 20% current value growth over the previous year. This was chiefly due to the re- launch of leading brand Mentholatum Acnes from Rohto Pharmaceutical Co Ltd in 2006. The brand was re -launched with a more effective formulation and grew share dynamically in 2007 as a result.
* Acne treatments are also expected to see strong growth during the forecast period, with constant value growth of 42%. Growth will be supported by further new product development. The growing number of busy and affluent young workers suffering from acne will make this product area highly attractive to players during the forecast period, with these consumers generally willing to pay more for products that are convenient and enhance their appearance. New launches are therefore expected to focus on swiftly absorbed formulations that also claim to improve skin condition.
