Abstract	The present study examines the growth, development, research productivity, and citation impact of Indian research output in Atopic Dermatitis literature during the period 2016–2025 using bibliometric techniques. The study aims to evaluate publication trends, citation patterns, and India's relative contribution to global research in this field. A total of 891 Indian research publications were analysed using bibliometric indicators such as Citations per Publication (CPP), Activity Index (AI), Attractivity Index (AAI), Publication Efficiency Index (PEI), Annual Growth Rate (AGR), Exponential Growth Rate (EGR), Relative Growth Rate (RGR), Doubling Time (DT), and time-series analysis. The findings reveal that Indian research output increased substantially from 32 publications in 2016 to 162 publications in 2025, indicating growing research interest in Atopic Dermatitis. The publications received a total of 16,730 citations, with an average of 18.78 citations per publication. The highest citation impact of 71.78 CPP was recorded in 2017. The Activity Index increased from 60.58 in 2016 to 129.61 in 2025, reflecting India's increasing relative contribution to global research, while the highest Attractivity Index of 179.68 was observed in 2023. The highest Publication Efficiency Index of 2.06 was recorded in 2017. The Annual Growth Rate and Exponential Growth Rate reached their highest values of 70.15% and 1.70, respectively, in 2021. However, the Relative Growth Rate declined from 0.75 in 2017 to 0.20 in 2025, while the Doubling Time increased from 0.92 to 3.45 years, indicating a gradual moderation in cumulative publication growth. Time-series analysis projects approximately 248 publications in 2030 and 583 publications in 2050, assuming the continuation of the historical linear trend. The study concludes that Indian research output in Atopic Dermatitis literature has demonstrated substantial growth and increasing relative global participation, although citation impact and growth rates have fluctuated over time. The findings highlight the importance of strengthening research quality, scientific collaboration, and scholarly visibility to enhance India's contribution to global Atopic Dermatitis research.
