Cone rod dystrophy is a term used to describe a group of genetic or inherited eye disorders that affect the cone cells of the retina. These cells line the back of the eye in the region known as the retina. Cone photoreceptor cells are present throughout the retina, but are concentrated in the central region (the macula). They are useful for central (reading) vision. Rod photoreceptor cells are present throughout the retina except for the very centre and they help with night vision. The global cone rod dystrophy market value stood at US$131.29 million in 2024, and is expected to reach US$177.59 million by 2030.

The global cone rod dystrophy market growth is driven by factors such as the rising awareness of genetic disorders and growing demand for effective treatments. Diabetes also have a major impact on the growth of the Cone rod dystrophy Market.
