Global Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029

Market Analysis and Size

In recent years, the diabetic macular edema (DME) market is anticipated to grow rapidly during the forecast period. Diabetic macular edema (DME) is characterized by fluid accumulation in the macula, which is the region of the retina important for vision. Edema can result from the leakage of plasma contents into the surrounding area, causing the accumulation. Diabetic macular edema is one of the primary causes of blindness in diabetic patients, affecting around 12% of type 1 diabetes patients and 28% of type 2 diabetic patients in developing nations in 2011. Controlling blood sugar levels, or glycaemia, lipid levels, and renal function is the conventional treatment for diabetic macular edema. The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) found that individuals who received aggressive glycaemic treatment had a 2.3 percent lower risk of DME.

Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the diabetic macular edema (DME) market was valued at USD 3.02 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 3.93 billion by 2029, registering a CAGR of 3.36% during the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. The market report curated by the Data Bridge Market Research team includes in-depth expert analysis, patient epidemiology, pipeline analysis, pricing analysis, and regulatory framework.

Market Definition

Diabetes macular edema (DME) is one of the most common causes of diabetic visual loss. It's thought to be caused by the retinal vasculature's hyper-permeability. Diabetic retinopathy severity is associated to macular edema. The pathophysiology and molecular processes involved in the development of diabetic macular edema are complex, necessitating a better knowledge of the disease's pathogenesis and molecular pathways. In recent years, pharmaceutical companies have targeted combinations of many medicines to treat DME, aiming to target separate routes or different phases of the same pathway. Medication and laser surgery are two well-established treatments to preserve the patient's vision and decrease future vision loss.

Patient Epidemiology Analysis

As per the World Health Organization (WHO), there are 15 million DME patients, half of whom are misdiagnosed, and 50 percent of the other 8 million do not have access to eye treatment, putting them at risk of vision loss from clinically significant macular edema (CSME). World Health Organization estimates that there are more than 150 million diabetic individuals globally. However, because of the rising prevalence of diabetes in developed countries, the absolute prevalence of diabetic macular edema (DME) may be rising. DME frequency is projected to decline as patients and health care providers increasingly embrace excellent metabolic management as a therapeutic objective.

COVID-19 Impact on Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) Market

Since its emergence in December 2019, the COVID-19 virus has spread to nearly every country on the planet, prompting the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare it a public health emergency. Due to the financial crisis and the delay in specialty healthcare delivery while prioritizing COVID-19-related treatments, healthcare systems around the world have been severely disrupted in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic. Patients were unable to see their controls for a variety of reasons, including difficulty accessing a doctor, fear of infection transmission, inability to continue therapies and essential procedures due to pandemic restrictions. Such considerations may have a negative impact on the market of diabetic macular edema (DME) in recent months.

Recent Development

• In March 2022, Novartis had announced the approval of the European Commission (EC) Beovu (brolucizumab) 6 mg. it is used for treating visual impairment which occurs due to diabetic macular edema (DME). Year one data from the Phase III KESTREL and KITE studies, which compared Beovu (brolucizumab) 6 mg to aflibercept 2 mg in DME patients, were used to gain approval. Beovu was non-inferior to aflibercept in terms of change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) from baseline in KESTREL and KITE, and showed promise for fluid resolution in numerically more DME patients than aflibercept.
