In 2023, the international collaboration in dermatology research publications in the UK was lower than the forecasted value for 2024. From 2024 onwards, there is a consistent upward trend in international collaboration, with a year-on-year increase of approximately 0.95% to 1.04% through 2028. This upward trajectory forecasts a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 3% over the five-year period.
Future trends to monitor include innovations in digital health technologies and telemedicine, which may further boost international research collaborations. Additionally, the increasing global focus on skin-related health issues could influence a more collaborative research environment.
