Athlete’s foot (Tinea pedis) is a fungal infection, caused by
different types of fungi including Trichophyton, Epidermophyton, and
Microsporum. The athlete's foot fungus attacks the keratin rich
tissues such as skin, nail, and hair. These fungus dwell there
because these have enzymatic ability to decompose keratin. Keratin is
a fibrous structural protein that is primarily found in nail, hair,
and outer layers of human skin. Moreover, these fungus need warm and
moist environment for survival and growth. These are commonly found
in shower areas of swimming pools and gym. Athlete’s foot is a
contagious disease, which can easily spread through contact with
infected individuals. Common symptoms of tinea pedis are itching, red
blisters between the toes or on the sole, and dry flaky skin on the
feet.

Athlete’s foot infection can be diagnosed by detecting the disease
symptoms, clinical testing, and a skin lesion potassium hydroxide
(KOH) examination. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) examination is the most
common test for athlete’s foot. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) destroys
the normal cells and leaves the fungal cells undamaged, so that these
are easily observed under a microscope. Prevalence of athlete’s
foot is higher among in men because they are more exposed to nail
trauma due to usage of occlusive footwear. Presently, athlete’s
foot affects over 15% of the global population. Athlete’s foot is
often treated with over-the-counter (OTC) antifungal medications such
as miconazole, terbinafine, clotrimazole, tolnaftate, and butenafine.
In March 1999, terbinafine hydrochloride (Lamisil) was the first drug
approved for athlete’s foot treatment.
Increase in awareness about fungal infections and rise in incidence
of such infections across the world are projected to drive the global
athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) treatment market during the forecast
period. Additionally, continuously increasing unhygienic environment
in populated cities of the world and popularity of over-the-counter
antifungal drugs for dermal infection are anticipated to drive the
global athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) treatment market in the near
future. However, side effects of antifungal drugs such as allergic
reactions over the skin, liver damage, and increase in resistance
developed by fungi are likely to restrain the global athlete’s foot
(tinea pedis) treatment market.

to account for the largest share of the global market because of
major players concentrated in the U.S. resulting in extensive
research and development for developing better drugs. Europe is
expected to be the second largest market for athlete’s foot (tinea
pedis) treatment during the forecast period, due to rise in
prevalence of fungal infection and increase in awareness about new
treatment options. The athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) treatment
market in Asia Pacific is expected to expand rapidly during the
forecast period. Growth of the market in the region can be attributed
