Neurotrophic Keratitis Market Poised for Significant Growth at 8.1% CAGR, Expected to Reach USD 710 Million by 2034

Introduction
Neurotrophic keratitis (NK) is a rare, degenerative corneal disease caused by impaired corneal innervation, leading to reduced healing capacity, persistent epithelial defects, and potential corneal ulceration or perforation. It is often secondary to conditions such as herpes simplex infection, diabetes, trigeminal nerve injury, or ocular surgeries. Left untreated, NK can result in permanent vision loss.

Historically, management options were limited to supportive care such as lubricants, tarsorrhaphy, or amniotic membrane transplantation. However, the approval of novel biologic therapies such as cenegermin (Oxervate, Dompé Pharma) has transformed the treatment landscape. With growing awareness, diagnostic advances, and regenerative therapy research, the Neurotrophic Keratitis Market is set to expand significantly through 2034.

Market Overview
• Market Size (2024): Estimated at USD 320 million
• Forecast (2034): Expected to reach USD 710 million
• CAGR (2024-2034): Projected at 8.1%

Key Growth Drivers
• Rising prevalence of diabetes, ocular surgeries, and viral infections contributing to NK.
• Increased adoption of biologics like cenegermin.
• Expanding regenerative medicine research in ophthalmology.
• Strong regulatory and orphan drug incentives for rare disease therapies.
Key Challenges

Leading Players
Dompé Pharma (Oxervate), RegeneRx Biopharmaceuticals, Medivir, HanAll Biopharma, Novartis, Santen Pharmaceutical, and smaller biotech firms pursuing regenerative ophthalmology approaches.

Segmentation Analysis
By Treatment Type
• Biologic Therapies (Cenegermin/Oxervate, pipeline neurotrophic factors)
• Amniotic Membrane Transplantation
• Regenerative & Stem Cell Therapies (emerging)
• Supportive Care (Lubricants, Artificial Tears, Bandage Contact Lenses)
• Surgical Interventions (Tarsorrhaphy, Corneal Transplantation, Neurotization Surgery)

By Disease Stage
• Stage 1 (Mild - Persistent epithelial defects)
• Stage 2 (Moderate - Stromal involvement)
• Stage 3 (Severe - Corneal ulceration, perforation)

By End User
• Hospitals & Specialty Eye Clinics
• Ambulatory Surgical Centers
• Research & Academic Institutes
• Specialty Pharmacies

Segmentation Summary
Biologic therapies are the fastest-growing segment, led by Oxervate, the only FDA- and EMA-approved NK therapy. Supportive and surgical interventions remain common, but regenerative and neurotization procedures are expected to gain traction as research progresses.
