Some of the key facts of the Diabetic Retinopathy Market Report:
The Diabetic Retinopathy market size is anticipated to grow with a significant CAGR during the study period (2020-2034)
In June 2025, Perfuse Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing breakthrough therapies for ischemia-related eye diseases, announced positive outcomes from two Phase 2 clinical trials of PER-001. This innovative treatment targets two major causes of blindness worldwide: glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Both six-month, randomized, controlled studies evaluated PER-001, a first-in-class endothelin antagonist delivered via a slow-release, dissolvable implant injected into the eye's vitreous every six months. In both trials, PER-001 showed a significant improvement in vision compared to the control group.
In May 2025, The FDA has granted approval to Roche's Susvimo (ranibizumab injection) at a 100 mg/mL dose for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy (DR). It is the first and only FDA-approved continuous delivery therapy proven to preserve vision in DR patients with a single refill required every nine months. This approval is supported by positive data from the Phase III Pavilion trial (NCT04503551).
In May 2025, Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Susvimo® (ranibizumab injection) 100 mg/mL for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy (DR), a serious eye condition that impacts nearly 10 million people in the US and over 100 million worldwide. Susvimo is the first and only continuous delivery therapy approved by the FDA that has demonstrated the ability to preserve vision in DR patients with only one refill every nine months. The treatment is now available in the US for retina specialists and patients with DR who have previously shown a positive response to at least two anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections.
In January 2025, The US-based biotechnology company Ocugen administered the first dose in a multicenter Phase I trial of OCU200 for treating diabetic macular edema (DMO).
In September 2024, MSD (Merck & Co) and its subsidiary EyeBio have initiated the Phase IIb/III BRUNELLO clinical trial for Restoret (MK-3000, previously EYE103) aimed at treating diabetic macular oedema (DME). This randomized, double-masked trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different doses of intravitreal (IVT) Restoret compared to the active control, ranibizumab, in DME patients.
In March 2024, OcuTerra Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage ophthalmology company focused on developing innovative treatments for eye diseases, has announced topline results from its Phase 2 DR:EAM (Diabetic Retinopathy: Early Active Management) trial for nesvategrast (OTT166), a selective RGD integrin inhibitor eye drop. The trial did not achieve its primary or key secondary efficacy endpoints. However, nesvategrast (OTT166 5%) demonstrated a favorable safety profile and was well tolerated, successfully meeting its primary safety endpoint. OcuTerra is now assessing strategic alternatives and will provide further updates in the future.
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a significant neurovascular complication of diabetes, causing blindness in adults who are in their working years. The American Academy of Ophthalmology reports that with diabetes affecting an estimated 387 million people globally, a number expected to increase to 592 million by 2034, DR impacts approximately 93 million individuals worldwide.
Diabetic retinopathy progresses through several stages: mild, where microaneurysms first appear; moderate, where blood vessels begin to lose their function; severe, involving blockages in blood vessels leading to the growth of new ones; and proliferative, the advanced stage characterized by the onset of new blood vessel formation.
The primary choices for initial treatment are three anti-VEGF medications: EYLEA (aflibercept), LUCENTIS (ranibizumab), and AVASTIN (bevacizumab).

Key Diabetic Retinopathy Therapies: PL8177, ABI-110, OTX-TKI, MS-553, OTT166, RC28-E injection, KSI-301, and others
The Diabetic Retinopathy market is expected to surge due to the disease's increasing prevalence and awareness during the forecast period. Furthermore, launching various multiple-stage Diabetic Retinopathy pipeline products will significantly revolutionize the Diabetic Retinopathy market dynamics.
Diabetic Retinopathy Overview
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the eyes. It occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. Over time, these damaged blood vessels may leak fluid or bleed, causing vision problems.
