Diabetic Neuropathy Market 2025 Key Drivers and Restraints, Regional Outlook, End-User Applicants

Diabetic neuropathy is a common complication of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, characterized by nerve damage due to prolonged high blood sugar levels. It often affects the legs and feet, leading to pain, numbness, and even serious complications like ulcers and infections. With the global rise in diabetes prevalence and aging populations, the market for diabetic neuropathy diagnosis and treatment is expanding. The market includes pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, and supportive therapies aimed at symptom management and nerve protection.

The global Diabetic Neuropathy market was valued at USD 4.17 Billion in 2023 and growing at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2024 to 2033. The market is expected to reach USD 8.04 Billion by 2033.

2. Recent Developments

• In 2025, Pfizer launched a next-generation extended-release formulation of pregabalin for diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
• Astellas Pharma entered Phase 3 trials for a novel nerve regeneration drug.
• FDA approved a wearable neuromodulation device by NeuroMetrix (Quell) for diabetic neuropathy pain relief.
• New clinical guidelines emphasize early screening and combination therapy approaches.
