Industry Trends and Drivers:

• Aging population:

With a growing global population of older adults, the prevalence of glaucoma is rising. Age-related physiological changes in the eye, such as increased intraocular pressure, can lead to the development of glaucoma. As the number of older individuals is increasing, the demand for glaucoma treatments and management solutions is growing. An aging population leads to a higher demand for healthcare services, including ophthalmological services. This increased demand for healthcare services is contributing to the growth of the glaucoma therapeutics market, as more individuals are seeking diagnosis and treatment for glaucoma.

• Healthcare access and affordability:

Improved healthcare access in emerging markets is opening new opportunities for the glaucoma therapeutics market. As healthcare infrastructure is developing and more people are gaining access to medical care, the demand for glaucoma treatments is increasing. This expansion is particularly relevant in regions with previously underserved populations, where the burden of glaucoma is often higher. Increased access to healthcare services leads to earlier detection and treatment of glaucoma, which is crucial for preventing the progression of the disease and avoiding vision loss.

• Technological advancements:

Innovative drug delivery systems, such as sustained-release implants and micro pumps, are revolutionizing glaucoma treatment by providing controlled and continuous medication delivery. This improves the efficacy of drugs, reduces the frequency of doses required, and enhances patient compliance, making treatment regimens easier to follow. The evolution of laser therapy technologies offers patients less invasive treatment options compared to traditional surgeries. Modern laser therapies, such as selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), are becoming more popular due to their ability to effectively reduce intraocular pressure with fewer side effects and shorter recovery times.
