Global Usher syndrome market size and share is currently valued at USD 2.13 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to generate an estimated revenue of USD 3.08 billion by 2032 , according to the latest study by Polaris Market Research. Besides, the report notes that the market exhibits a robust 4.2% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the forecasted timeframe, 2024 - 2032

Market Overview

Usher Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a combination of hearing loss and progressive vision loss due to retinitis pigmentosa. It is the leading cause of deaf-blindness, accounting for half of such cases in individuals under 65. The disorder is categorized into three types:

  • Type 1: Severe congenital deafness, balance issues, and early-onset vision loss.

  • Type 2: Moderate to severe hearing loss with later-onset vision deterioration.

  • Type 3: Progressive hearing and vision loss, typically beginning in adolescence.

Currently, treatment options are limited, with LUXTURNA (voretigene neparvovec) being the only approved gene therapy for a subset of patients with the RPE65 mutation. Most patients rely on supportive care, including hearing aids, cochlear implants, and visual aids.
