Uveal neoplasms are tumors that develop in the uveal tract of the eye, comprising the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. These tumors can be benign (nevus) or malignant (uveal melanoma), impacting vision and potentially spreading to other parts of the body.
The main treatment options for uveal neoplasms are drugs and therapy. Uveal neoplasm drugs are medications used to treat tumors or cancerous growths in the uveal tract, targeting the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. These drugs are administered through various routes, including oral, injectable, and others, and are distributed through multiple channels, such as hospital pharmacies, online pharmacies, and retail pharmacies.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.
The uveal neoplasms market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides uveal neoplasms market statistics, including the uveal neoplasms industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with the uveal neoplasms market share, detailed uveal neoplasms market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the uveal neoplasms industry. This uveal neoplasms market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The uveal neoplasms market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.08 billion in 2024 to $1.14 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rising prevalence of uveal neoplasms, increased funding for personalized treatments, an increase in the elderly population, increasing awareness and early detection, and an increase in cases of a genetic disorder.
The uveal neoplasms market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.42 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing R&D activities, the increasing number of clinical trials, increasing government funding for global disease eradication, rising incidences of eye cancer, and rising healthcare expenditures. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in immunotherapy, developments of targeted therapies, increased focus on early diagnosis, rising clinical trials, and innovations in therapies.
The forecast of 5.7% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff barriers are expected to hamper the U.S. by increasing the cost of plaque brachytherapy devices and genetic prognostic tests sourced from the UK and Germany, thereby delaying precision oncology interventions and elevating ocular oncology expenditures. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The growing incidence of eye cancer is expected to drive the expansion of the uveal neoplasms market in the coming years. Eye cancer refers to the abnormal growth of cells in the eye, which can occur in various regions such as the retina, iris, or optic nerve. This increase in eye cancer cases may be attributed to factors such as better detection methods, environmental exposures, and an aging population. Uveal neoplasms, particularly uveal melanoma, are a rare type of eye cancer that can spread to other organs, especially the liver, posing significant health risks. For example, Cancer Research UK forecasts that eye cancer incidence rates in the UK will rise by 50% between 2023-2025 and 2038-2040, reaching an average of 3 cases per 100,000 people annually by 2038. This rising incidence is fueling the growth of the uveal neoplasms market.
Key players in the uveal neoplasms market are focusing on the development of innovative therapies, such as T cell receptor (TCR) therapeutics, to improve treatment outcomes and offer more targeted options for patients. T cell receptors are proteins on the surface of T cells that allow them to recognize and bind to specific antigens, enabling the immune system to identify and attack infected or cancerous cells. For example, in January 2022, Immunocore, a UK-based biotechnology company, received US FDA approval for KIMMTRAK (tebentafusp-tebn), the first-ever TCR-based therapy approved for treating unresectable or metastatic uveal melanoma. This groundbreaking therapy binds both to tumor cells and T cells, helping the immune system recognize and target the cancer.
In August 2023, TriSalus Life Sciences, a US-based oncology company, merged with MedTech Acquisition Corporation for an undisclosed amount. This merger aims to strengthen TriSalus' platform, improving treatments for liver and pancreatic cancers, including uveal melanoma with liver metastases. The move is expected to accelerate technology development, drive sales growth, and secure funding for key initiatives through mid-2024. MedTech Acquisition Corporation is a US-based special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) focused on merging with businesses in the medical technology sector.
