The global uveitis treatment market size was valued at USD 606 Million in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 998 Million by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period, 2023-2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing instances of the uveitis disease and the latest diagnosis to treat them.
Uveitis is described to be a series of inflammatory diseases which produces unnatural swelling and destroys the host’s eye tissues. The range of uveitis varies from slightly reduced vision with irritating itches to severe vision loss. The uvea found in the eye consists of eye blood vessels which grows thinner in the middle layer.
Once these vessels get strained out of proportion due to uneven lighting or damage taken, the uvea gets damaged, and this becomes the initial symptoms of uveitis. According to the World Health Organization or the WHO along with several colleges of optometrists across the globe, there are 30,000 new cases every year with over 10% leading to complete blindness.
The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced the growth of the global uveitis market. Researchers and scientists were not able to understand the relationship between the coronavirus and uveitis. People have started to become more accustomed to indoor activities involving long hours of binge watching, which can be harmful for the eyes in the long run.
Therefore, the analysts believe that once the COVID-19 pandemic is controlled and when hospitals will be functioning at maximum efficiency, patients will start attending their eye diseases, fueling the global uveitis treatment market growth in the long run.
The report on the global uveitis treatment market size includes an assessment of the market, trends, segments, and regional markets. Overview and dynamics have also been included in the report.
