The global diabetic retinopathy market is anticipated to reach USD 10.08 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising prevalence of diabetes, growing geriatric population, and increasing prevalence of blindness due to diabetes are among the key factors anticipated to bolster market growth over the forecast period.
Diabetes is amongst the leading cause of blindness in people. Blindness is caused due to leaking or rupturing of retinal blood vessels, which may be permanent or temporary in nature depending on the disease-stage. According to the Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services (DARS), Texas, around 78.0% cases of diabetic retinopathy were reported in 2013 that may eventually lead to loss of vision. In addition, as per the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), diabetic retinopathy was amongst the leading causes of blindness in UK in 2017. Rising patient awareness levels and increasing healthcare expenditure are also among the factors which are likely to propel market growth.
Moreover, the increasing geriatric population in both developed and developing nations is expected to propel the diabetic retinopathy market over the forecast period. According to the Population Reference Bureau report titled “Aging in the United States”, the number of people in the U.S., aged 65 years and over were projected to increase from around 46 million in 2016 to over 98 million by 2060.
