Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) Market to Reach USD 1.65 Billion by 2034

Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a group of rare, inherited retinal disorders that cause progressive degeneration of photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) in the retina, leading to night blindness, loss of peripheral vision, and eventually complete blindness in severe cases. RP affects approximately 1 in 4,000 people worldwide and can be inherited in autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked patterns.

Although no universal cure currently exists, advances in gene therapy, retinal prosthetics (bionic eyes), stem cell therapy, and neuroprotective drugs are transforming the treatment outlook. Government recognition of RP as a rare disease, combined with orphan drug incentives and patient advocacy efforts, is fueling market expansion.
