Scleritis Market: Opportunities and Forecast Assessment, 2020-2027

Scleritis is a medical condition that causes painful inflammation of sclera (white part of the eye). In some severe cases, the disease is reported to cause loss of vision, i.e., by affecting episclera and sclera. Thus, its timely diagnosis and treatment are necessary against scleritis. Focal redness or violaceous discoloration, scleral thickening, late scleral, and scleral necrosis are some of the prominent symptoms associated with the disease.

It is established that more than 50% of scleritis cases are associated with autoimmune disease, including rheumatoid arthritis. The prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis is increasing and, thus, the susceptible scleritis patient population. It is suggestive that the prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis was about 0.5–1.0% within regional boundaries of North America and Northern Europe. This is indicating a positive market growth during the forecast period, 2018–2025.

Moreover, factors such as the growing aging population and increasing per capita healthcare expenditure boost the market growth. However, lack of awareness in the middle-income countries and the absence of targeted treatment is estimated to restraint the market growth during the forecast period.

Scleritis Market is expected to grow with a healthy CAGR of approximately 6.0% during the forecast period.

Regional Market Summary

Geographically, the Americas is projected to lead the global market for scleritis. This can be attributed due to the presence of well-developed healthcare infrastructure and the increasing prevalence of scleritis within the Americas.

Europe is expected to hold the second-largest share of the scleritis market owing to government support and the presence of developed countries such as the UK, Germany, and France within the region.

The scleritis market in Asia-Pacific is segmented into China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and the rest of the Asia-Pacific. The region is estimated to grow with the highest CAGR. High prevalence of scleritis, growing geriatric population, and increasing penetration of market players boost the regional market. In India, the mean age of scleritis patients is estimated to be about 55. This susceptible age group is expanding, which is growing the treatment-seeking patient pool.

The Middle East & Africa is anticipated to hold the least share of the market owing to the presence of poor economies, stringent government regulations, and low per capita income in Africa. Within the region, the Middle East is projected to lead the market owing to developed healthcare infrastructure and the presence of economies such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Dubai.
