Figure. Diabetic Retinopathy Market Share (%), By Region 2025

Diabetic retinopathy is a medical condition in which damage occurs to the retina due to complications of diabetes mellitus. High blood sugar levels associated with diabetes can damage blood vessels inside the retina. Diabetic retinopathy occurs in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes and is a leading cause of blindness among working-age adults. The global diabetic retinopathy market is driven by rising prevalence of diabetes, increasing awareness regarding diabetic retinopathy diagnosis and treatment, and the availability of advanced retinal screening techniques. However, high cost of treatment and inadequate reimbursement policies limit the market growth.
Market Dynamics:
High cost of retinal screening, drugs, and surgeries, shortage of ophthalmologists in developing nations, and inadequate insurance coverage in some countries are expected to restrain the market growth. Key opportunity lies in development of cost-effective screening solutions, combinational therapeutics, and artificial intelligence-powered analytic platforms to detect diabetic retinopathy faster and more accurately.
