Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Market Analysis
The Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy Market is expected to register a CAGR of 9.4% during the forecast period. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes caused by changes in the blood vessels of the eye which can lead to other serious eye problems, which may cause long term vision loss if not treated. Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is the most advanced stage of diabetic retinopathy which is characterized by the growth of new vessels on the surface of the retina. Some of the signs and symptoms are progressive loss of vision, fine to severe loops of new vessels that may grow on the optic disc and these new vessels may leak and resulting in retinal edema and so on. The major risk factors for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) include the duration of diabetes, for 30-34 years of diabetes increase the risk of retinopathy by 65%, according to the reports published by the Columbia University. Hence, the rising prevalence of diabetes is directly contributing to the further increase in the prevalence of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).
According to the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, low- and middle-income countries account for approximately 75% of the global diabetes burden, yet many people are ill-equipped to properly identify, treat and manage this disease. Furthermore, as per the study published in the Ophthalmological Journal, estimates diabetic retinopathy affects 1 in 3 people with diabetes and by the year 2040, diabetes is projected to affect 642 million adults.
Growth in the geriatric population increases the prevalence of diabetes and diabetic retinopathy and the availability of advanced technology and minimally invasive laser technique are the key driving factors in the proliferative diabetic retinopathy market.
