Geographically, the North American region is the expected market leader for isotretinoin drugs, projected to hold the largest market share throughout the forecast period. This dominance is attributed to a confluence of well-established factors, primarily its highly advanced and organized healthcare infrastructure, which facilitates the widespread adoption and structured management of potent medications like isotretinoin. The region, encompassing the US and Canada, possesses sophisticated distribution networks and regulatory frameworks that can effectively manage the strict safety protocols, such as the mandatory Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program, required for safe dispensation of the drug.

The region also exhibits a high prevalence of the primary indication, severe acne, among its large population of teens and young adults, coupled with high public awareness of dermatological treatment options. Furthermore, the presence of major pharmaceutical companies, including Hoffmann La Roche Ltd. and key generic manufacturers like Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. and Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd., ensures a steady supply and a competitive market for both branded and generic versions of the drug. These factors, combined with higher per capita healthcare spending and favorable reimbursement scenarios compared to many other regions, encourage earlier and more frequent diagnosis and treatment of severe acne cases, driving up prescription volume.

Crucially, North America is also a global hub for clinical research and development, which extends to the drug's secondary application in oncology, specifically neuroblastoma treatment. High R&D investment in the region, often supported by governmental or private funding, accelerates the development and clinical translation of new combination therapies involving isotretinoin. This technological and research leadership ensures that North America remains at the forefront of clinical practice and adoption for both dermatology and oncology applications, solidifying its leading revenue position in the global market.

While the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is projected to experience the fastest CAGR, North America’s established market maturity, robust regulatory oversight, and strong economic factors guarantee its enduring status as the largest revenue generator for isotretinoin drugs. The combination of high disease prevalence, advanced dispensing infrastructure, and continuous R&D ensures the regional market's resilience, contributing substantially to the market’s total value of $1.81 Billion.
