Market Overview

Glaucoma is a chronic eye condition that can cause vision loss or blindness by damaging the optic nerve. It's caused by a build-up of fluid in the eye that increases pressure and damages the retina and optic nerve. The prevalence of glaucoma in Germany, the adult population above 40 years of age is currently 2.1%, resulting in 980 thousand with glaucoma, plus at least one more million with ocular hypertension (OHT). Two-thirds of all glaucoma cases are above 70 years of age. By 2060, the prevalence of glaucoma will rise to 2.8%, due to the aging of the population. Additionally, the general public becoming more aware of health issues and eye disorders and the development of new drugs these factors contribute to the growth of the Germany glaucoma market.

Restraining Factors

The growth of the Germany glaucoma market is hindered by various factors including, Glaucoma is often asymptomatic in early stages, and so regular eye exams are needed for early diagnosis. Lack of awareness can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment, which can result in irreversible vision loss. The cost of glaucoma management can be a barrier to access for patients.

Market Segmentation

The Germany glaucoma market share is classified into disease type and drug class.

• The open angle glaucoma segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period.

The Germany glaucoma market is segmented by disease type into open angle glaucoma, angle closure glaucoma, and others. Among these, open angle glaucoma segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period. This is due to the increasing incidence of age-associated eye disorders such as blurred vision, vascular disorders, and sleep apnea. The increasing adoption of hyposensitive medications to decrease intraocular pressure is anticipated to drive segment growth.

• The prostaglandins analogs segment is expected to dominate the Germany glaucoma market during the forecast period.       

Based on the drug class, the Germany glaucoma market is divided into prostaglandins analogs, beta-blockers, adrenergic agonists, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, and others. Among these, the prostaglandins analogs segment is expected to dominate the Germany glaucoma market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the ophthalmologist's choice attributable to high efficacy and favorable safety profile, prostaglandin analogs as a first-line therapy choice. The growing use of prostaglandin medications in combination therapy is aimed at reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) and has fewer adverse effects than other treatments, which propels the market demand.
