Diabetic Macular Edema Market Massive Growth opportunity Ahead

Introduction
Diabetic macular edema (DME) is one of the leading causes of vision impairment among people with diabetes, characterized by fluid leakage into the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharp central vision. Left untreated, DME can cause progressive vision loss and blindness, severely impacting quality of life and productivity.

With over 530 million adults living with diabetes globally in 2024, the risk pool for DME continues to expand. The disease burden is particularly acute in developing nations, where diabetes incidence is accelerating, yet access to advanced ophthalmic care is limited. The evolution of treatments from laser photocoagulation to anti-VEGF therapies, corticosteroid implants, and emerging gene therapies has significantly improved outcomes. Between 2024 and 2034, the DME market is set for strong expansion, driven by therapeutic innovations, growing awareness, and broader access to ophthalmology services.
