Onchocerciasis Treatment Market: By Drug Class Type, By Distribution Channel, and Region Forecast 2020-2031
Onchocerciasis (River Blindness) Treatment Market size was valued at US$ 2.5 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 3.8 billion by 2031, growing at a significant CAGR of 6.3% from 2025-2031. Onchocerciasis, often known as river blindness, is a parasitic worm infection caused by the Onchocerca volvulus. Bumps under the skin, intense itching, and blindness are all signs of onchocerciasis. After trachoma, onchocerciasis is the second most prevalent cause of infection-related blindness. The disease is spread by infected blackflies biting humans. These black flies breed near settlements and agricultural land, where they breed along streams and fast-flowing rivers. Adult onchocerciasis worms produce microfinance (embryonic larvae) in the human body, which can travel to the eyes, skin, and other organs. The majority of people affected with this disease live in African countries.

In recent years, the market has been influenced by soaring market capitalization of smaller players, increasing number of strategic partnerships to scoop out the best of emerging medications or drugs, increased R&D spending by big pharma and emerging players, expanded indications for approved drugs, and rising competition between companies producing drugs for the same indications have all influenced demand. Following 15-17 years of therapy, a recent evaluation in Mali and Senegal has confirmed the primary confirmation of disposal. Following this discovery, the African Program for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC) has launched a thorough examination of the long-term effects of ivermectin treatment projects and the viability of completion in APOC-supported countries.
