Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) Market Outlook

Thelansis’s “Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033" covers disease overview, epidemiology, drug utilization, prescription share analysis, competitive landscape, clinical practice, regulatory landscape, patient share, market uptake, market forecast, and key market insights under the potential Diabetic Macular Edema treatment modalities options for eight major markets (USA, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan, and China).

Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) Overview

Diabetic macular edema (DME) is primarily driven by chronic hyperglycemia, leading to increased vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. This up-regulation results in heightened vascular permeability and elevated angiogenesis. While the fundamental pathophysiology of DME revolves around VEGF, emerging evidence suggests that inflammatory mediators also play a role, significantly contributing to the vascular permeability and edema observed in DME. The predominant cause of vision impairment in Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is DME, which can manifest at any DR stage and is characterized by edema and retinal thickening, potentially accompanied by hard exudates. As the initial stages of DME are often asymptomatic, individuals with diabetes may be unaware of developing complications. Symptoms vary depending on the edema's location within the retina; non-center-involved macular edema typically lacks noticeable symptoms. However, when the edema reaches the central macula, patients commonly experience progressive vision loss, occurring over weeks to months from the onset of symptoms. Currently, anti-VEGF agents are the primary treatment for DME, necessitating intervention. Off-label use of intravitreal bevacizumab for ocular conditions has been practiced since 2005. The FDA approved ranibizumab for DME in 2012, followed by Aflibercept in 2014 and, more recently, Brolucizumab and Faricimab in 2022.

• In the United States, an estimated 1.84 million individuals live with Vision-Threatening Diabetic Retinopathy (VTDR), equating to a prevalence rate of 5.06% among people with diabetes.
