Market Outlook and Growth Projections
The global age-related macular degeneration market is poised
for significant growth from 2022 to 2032, fueled by increasing cases of AMD, a
leading cause of vision loss in individuals over 60, and the development of
innovative therapies. AMD affects the macula, the central part of the retina
responsible for sharp vision, and is categorized into dry and wet forms. The
report projects the market to grow from USD 11 billion in 2022 to USD 20
billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 6.2%. This growth is driven by rising
healthcare spending, a robust pipeline of AMD drugs, and increasing awareness
of eye health, creating substantial opportunities for pharmaceutical companies
and healthcare providers.
Key Drivers Fueling Market Demand
The market’s growth is propelled by several key drivers. The
rising prevalence of AMD, with over 200 million cases globally in 2023 and
projections to reach 288 million by 2040, is a primary factor, driven by an
aging population expected to reach 2 billion over 60 by 2050. Technological
advancements, such as anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF)
therapies like Eylea and Lucentis, have revolutionized wet AMD treatment,
reducing vision loss in 90% of cases. The report highlights increasing
government healthcare spending, such as Medicare’s coverage of 80% of anti-VEGF
injection costs in the U.S., and growing R&D investments as key growth
catalysts. Additionally, improved diagnostic tools like optical coherence
tomography (OCT) and rising awareness through initiatives like National AMD
Awareness Month further drive demand.
Challenges and Restraints in the Sector
Despite its promising outlook, the market faces challenges.
High treatment costs, with anti-VEGF injections like Lucentis costing USD 2,000
per dose, limit accessibility in low-income regions. The report notes a
shortage of skilled ophthalmologists, particularly in developing countries, and
the high risk of complications from frequent injections, with 4% of Beovu
patients experiencing intraocular inflammation. Regulatory hurdles, such as the
failure of drugs like lampalizumab in 2018 clinical trials, and patent
expirations, like Lucentis in 2020, may hamper growth. Providers must address
these challenges by developing cost-effective biosimilars, enhancing training
programs, and improving access to affordable diagnostics to ensure broader
adoption.
Segment-Wise Insights and Dominant Trends
The report provides detailed segmentation analysis,
identifying Eylea as the leading product, generating USD 4.4 billion in 2023
due to its efficacy and FDA approval since 2011. Wet AMD dominates the disease
type segment with a 98% revenue share in 2024, driven by the availability of
anti-VEGF therapies, while dry AMD is the fastest-growing segment due to
emerging therapies like Apellis’ APL-2 for geographic atrophy. Hospital pharmacies
lead distribution channels with a 50% share, but online pharmacies are growing
rapidly due to convenience. Key trends include the rise of gene therapies, with
10% of AMD cases progressing to wet AMD requiring advanced treatments, and the
development of longer-acting anti-VEGF drugs like Vabysmo to reduce injection
frequency. The report also notes increasing adoption of biosimilars, such as
BYOOVIZ, approved in 2021 for wet AMD.
Regional Outlook and Growth Hotspots
North America holds the largest market share, with the U.S.
contributing 92.1% of the region’s revenue in 2023, driven by high AMD
prevalence (20 million cases), advanced healthcare systems, and initiatives
like the NEI’s AMD Integrative Biology Initiative. Europe follows, with 67
million AMD cases and a projected 15% increase by 2050, led by Germany and the
UK. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to exhibit the fastest growth, with a
CAGR of 8%, fueled by rising healthcare investments, high disease burden, and
increasing life expectancy in China and India. Latin America and the Middle
East and Africa (MEA) are emerging markets, supported by improving access to
diagnostics. The report identifies Asia-Pacific as a key growth engine due to
its large geriatric population and growing adoption of advanced therapies.
Recent Developments
The market has seen significant advancements in recent
years. In July 2024, Genentech reintroduced Susvimo, a ranibizumab ocular
implant for wet AMD, enhancing treatment durability. In October 2022, Coherus
BioSciences received FDA approval for CIMERLI, a biosimilar for wet AMD,
improving affordability. Posts on X highlight experimental treatments like DMSO
for macular degeneration, with 22 of 50 patients showing improved visual
acuity, though results remain inconclusive. Additionally, Roche’s 2023
advancements in longer-acting anti-VEGF therapies, like brolucizumab, are
reducing treatment frequency, supporting market growth. These developments
reflect the market’s shift toward innovative and accessible solutions.
Key Players Insights
Leading players are driving innovation through R&D and
strategic partnerships. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. leads with Eylea, while
F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd excels with Lucentis and Susvimo. Novartis AG and
