Glaucoma: Epidemiology Forecast to 2033
Summary
Glaucoma is a group of progressive neurodegenerative eye diseases caused by damage to the optic nerve (Manz et al., 2024). Globally, glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness and vision loss, and it has a significant impact on quality of life (Fujiwara et al., 2022) Glaucoma is categorized as primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), normal tension glaucoma (NTG), primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG), chronic angle-closure glaucoma, acute angle-closure glaucoma, and secondary glaucoma. Open-angle glaucoma is classified as high-tension glaucoma (HTG) if intraocular pressure (IOP) is greater than 21mm HG, and as NTG if IOP is less than 21mm HG. OAG in this report represents OAG with HTG, which is responsible for 80-90% of all glaucoma cases (Chan et al., 2017).
Scope
- This report provides an overview of the risk factors, comorbidities, and the global and historical epidemiological trends for glaucoma in the seven major markets (7MM: the US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, and Japan).
- The report includes a 10-year epidemiology forecast for the diagnosed prevalent cases of POAG and PACG, segmented by age and sex (40-44 years, 45-49 years, 50-54 years, 55-59 years, 60-64 years, 65-69 years, 70-74 years, 75-79 years, 80-84 years, and ≥85 years) in the 7MM.
- In addition, this report provides a 10-year epidemiology forecast of the diagnosed prevalent cases of the clinical types of glaucoma: NTG, acute and chronic PACG, secondary glaucoma, and the diagnosed incident cases of PACG.
- Although not covered in this report, the diagnosed prevalence of pigmentary glaucoma and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma can be found in the associated glaucoma model, as well as the total prevalence of POAG (excluding NTG) and PACG.
The glaucoma Epidemiology series will allow you to -
- Develop business strategies by understanding the trends shaping and driving the global glaucoma markets.
- Quantify patient populations in the global glaucoma markets to improve product design, pricing, and launch plans.
- Organize sales and marketing efforts by identifying the age groups and sex that present the best opportunities for glaucoma therapeutics in each of the markets covered.
- Understand magnitude of the glaucoma population by age, sex, type, and infection site.
