EpiCast Report: Dry Eye Syndrome - Epidemiology Forecast to 2022

Summary

Globally, dry eye has a prevalence of up to 33% (Clegg et al., 2006; Lemp et al., 2008; Schaumberg et al., 2002; Shimmura et al., 1999). The prevalence of dry eye is estimated to range from <0.1% to 33% across different countries and varies between 5% to >30% in various ages groups worldwide (Clegg et al., 2006; Lemp et al., 2008; Shimmura et al., 1999). Research also shows that dry eye syndrome is more prevalent in women than in men (Schaumberg et al., 2002).

Scope

- The Dry Eye Syndrome, EpiCast Report provides an overview of the risk factors and global trends of dry eye syndrome in the nine major markets (US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan, China, and India). - It also includes a 10-year epidemiology forecast of the prevalent cases of dry eye syndrome, segmented by age (given in five-year increments beginning at age 45 years and ending at ages 85 years and older), sex, and severity in these markets.

Reasons to buy

- Develop business strategies by understanding the trends shaping and driving the global dry eye syndrome market.- Quantify patient populations in the global dry eye syndrome market to improve product design, pricing, and launch plans.- Organize sales and marketing efforts by identifying the age groups, sex, and severity levels that present the best opportunities for dry eye syndrome therapeutics in each of the markets covered.
