Retinal Edema Market Expected to Witness Significant Growth Through 2032, Driven by Recent FDA Approvals and a Robust Clinical Pipeline | DelveInsight
DelveInsight’s “Retinal Edema – Market Insight, Epidemiology And Market Forecast – 2032” report delivers an in-depth understanding of the retinal edema treatment market, historical and forecasted epidemiology, and market trends across the US, EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), the UK, and Japan. The report further assesses current treatment practices, emerging drugs, and retinal edema market drivers, providing a comprehensive overview of the factors influencing this rapidly evolving therapeutic landscape.
The retinal edema treatment market is experiencing strong growth across the 7MM, driven by rising cases of diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and retinal vein occlusion. Furthermore, the US holds the largest retinal edema market share, mainly due to a large patient pool, high adoption of advanced therapies, and ongoing research and development activities, which collectively drive greater demand and higher spending on treatment.

Retinal edema epidemiological studies indicate an increasing prevalence in all the major markets, mainly due to rising rates of diabetes, aging populations, and associated conditions like diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and retinal vein occlusion. Additionally, diabetic macular edema represents one of the most prevalent forms of retinal edema. According to DelveInsight’s research, more than 5% of people with diabetes globally have diabetic macular edema, with prevalence rates varying across regions. Among patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic macular edema prevalence ranges between 4.2% and 8%, while in patients with type 2 diabetes, prevalence ranges from 1.5% to 13%.

The current retinal edema treatment landscape is dominated by anti-VEGF therapies, which effectively reduce fluid buildup and improve vision. Key drugs include EYLEA HD (aflibercept) from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: REGN) and Bayer (ETR: BAYN), offering extended dosing intervals. VABYSMO (faricimab-svoa), developed by Genentech, represents a groundbreaking advancement as the first and only FDA-approved injectable eye medicine for both wet AMD and DME. Biosimilars like BYOOVIZ (Samsung Bioepis) and YESAFILI (Biocon Biologics) provide more cost-effective options with similar efficacy. Other notable companies in the field are Novartis, Genentech, and AbbVie, all contributing to ongoing innovation, including long-acting drug delivery systems and emerging oral therapies.
According to DelveInsight’s pipeline analysis of retinal edema treatments, several biopharmaceutical companies, including Roche, Genentech, Kodiak Sciences, Outlook Therapeutics, Taiwan Liposome Company, and Ocuphire, are making significant progress in developing advanced therapies that could transform care for this condition.
Kodiak Sciences is advancing tarcocimab tedromer (KSI-301), which is engineered for extended durability in treating retinal vein occlusion and diabetic macular edema (DME). They are also working on KSI-101, which targets macular edema caused by inflammation and DME. Both treatments are currently in late-stage clinical trials.
Outlook Therapeutics is progressing with LYTENAVA (ONS-5010), a novel ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab specifically designed for retinal diseases. Meanwhile, the Taiwan Liposome Company is developing TLC399 (ProDex), a long-acting injectable form of dexamethasone that uses a proprietary sustained-release delivery platform to treat macular edema.
In addition, oral therapies are emerging in this field, including APX3330 by Ocuphire, a Ref-1 inhibitor currently in development for diabetic retinopathy.
The report also offers a thorough analysis of recent developments in the retinal edema therapeutic landscape and discusses their implications for the competitive environment surrounding this condition.
In early 2025, several important FDA approvals and clinical trial updates have influenced the retinal edema treatment landscape. In February 2025, the FDA approved Roche’s Susvimo (ranibizumab injection) for diabetic macular edema. This marked the introduction of the first continuous delivery treatment for diabetic macular edema, significantly reducing the need for frequent eye injections. Additionally, in March 2025, the FDA approved ENCELTO (revakinagene taroretcel-lwey), developed by Neurotech Pharmaceuticals, as the first treatment for Macular Telangiectasia type 2, utilizing an innovative encapsulated cell therapy platform.
New clinical trials are also in progress, including studies of a higher-dose aflibercept by Bayer for treating macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion, and Unity Biotechnology’s Phase III trial of foselutoclax for diabetic macular edema.

Despite these advancements, there are several retinal edema market challenges. In April 2025, the FDA delivered a complete response letter for longer dosage intervals (24 weeks) in aflibercept for DME and wet AMD, indicating regulatory hurdles for extended treatment protocols. Additionally, inconsistencies in diagnostic approaches and limited access to specialized eye care remain barriers to optimal patient management across different regions.
Looking ahead, the retinal edema market is poised for continued growth driven by several factors, including the integration of AI in imaging diagnostics and personalized treatment approaches based on molecular profiling. As research continues to uncover the complex pathophysiology of retinal edema and associated conditions, the market is expected to expand substantially, offering more tailored treatment options and improved outcomes for patients suffering from this vision-threatening condition.
