Dry Eye Disease Epidemiology Forecast Research 2020-2034: Focus on United States, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, and Japan - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Dry Eye Disease - Epidemiology Forecast - 2034" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The report delivers an in-depth understanding of Dry Eye Disease (DED), historical and forecasted epidemiology of Dry Eye Disease (DED) in the United States, EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan.

For the purpose of designing the patient-based model for the Dry Eye Disease (DED) epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by, Total Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of DED, Gender-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of DED, Age-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of DED, and Severity-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of DED in the 7MM covering, the United States, EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), United Kingdom, and Japan from 2020 to 2034.

In the assessment done, the estimated total diagnosed prevalent cases of DED in the 7MM were nearly 54.69 million in 2023. Among the European countries, the United Kingdom had the highest diagnosed prevalent cases of DED with ~6,112 thousand cases, followed by Germany, which had diagnosed prevalent population of ~5,004 thousand in 2023. On the other hand, Spain had the lowest prevalent population (2,064 thousand cases).

The US reported the highest number of total diagnosed prevalent cases of DED among the 7MM countries with 41% whereas Japan reported the least cases (19%). This trend is anticipated to be followed during the forecast period as well. In the US, gender-specific diagnosed prevalent cases of DED revealed ~9,439 thousand cases among males and approximately ~13,035 thousand cases among females. Projections indicate that by 2034, the prevalence among females will surpass that of males.

The analysis shows that the UK reported the highest number of DED cases in individuals aged 50 and older, with ~4,889 thousand cases. This was followed by ~691 thousand cases in the 40-49 age group and ~532 thousand cases in the 18-39 age group. Projections indicate that the UK is expected to continue leading in these figures by 2034.

KOL Views

To gaze into the epidemiology insights of the real world, we take KOLs and SMEs' opinions working in the domain through primary research to fill the data gaps and validate our secondary research on disease prevalence.

The analysts connected with 20+ KOLs to gather insights; however, interviews were conducted with 10+ KOLs in the 7MM. Centers such as the Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, US University of Pikeville, Kentucky College of Optometry, Pikeville, Kentucky, US; Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences, Stendal, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany; Department of Ophthalmology, Dijon University Hospital, Dijon, France; University of Milan, Milan, Italy; Optometry and Vision Science, Aston University, Birmingham, UK and Ryogoku Eye Clinic, Tokyo, Japan, and others were contacted. Their opinion helps understand and validate current disease prevalence, gender involved with the disease, diagnosis rate, and diagnostic criteria.

Key Highlights

• In 2023, the total diagnosed prevalence of Dry eye disease (DED) was highest in the US among the 7MM, accounting for nearly 22.47 million cases which is further expected to increase by 2034.
• In Japan, in 2023, ~2,341 thousand males and ~ 8.29 million females were affected with Dry eye disease (DED). estimates that these numbers might increase by 2034.
• In 2023, the UK reported ~2,811 thousand mild, ~1,345 thousand moderate, and ~1,956 thousand severe cases of DED. Analysis by experts indicates that the overall severity-specific cases of DED are expected to rise in the coming years.
• The Dry Eye Disease (DED) cases are expanding due to increasing prevalence, rising awareness and better diagnostic capabilities, which increase demand for treatments. Advancements in research, increased funding for rare diseases, and the development of novel therapies are also key drivers.
• As per estimates, Japan accounted for nearly 19% of the Total Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Dry Eye Disease (DED) in the 7MM in 2023.
