Age Related Macular Degeneration Market By Drug Type (Aflibercept, Ranibizumab, Others) , By Disease Type (Wet Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) , Dry Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)) By Distribution Channel (Hospital Pharmacy, Retail Pharmacy, Online Pharmacy) : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2033
Age Related Macular Degeneration Market
The age related macular degeneration market was valued at $10.0 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $16.2 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5% from 2024 to 2033.
Age related macular degeneration is a visual impairment in which the central portion of the retina, known as macula, deteriorates. Beginning with slight blurred vision, the disease eventually leads to loss of central eyesight. There are two categories of the disease: dry (atrophic) and wet (neovascular). Gradual thinning of the macula occurs in dry macular degeneration, whereas wet macular degeneration happens due to abnormal growth of blood vessels under the retina.
Exponential increase in the aging population and rise in prevalence of the disease are the key drivers of the age related macular degeneration market. In addition, advancements in diagnostic techniques are leading to early detection and timely treatment of the disease, thereby augmenting the market development. In recent times, AI and deep learning are revolutionizing the landscape of age related macular degeneration diagnosis and treatment. The technology helps in precise detection of the eye condition and assesses the risk pertaining to the progression of the disease to advanced stages.
However, in case of disease advancement to high stages, treatment procedures exhibit limited to no efficacy, thereby restraining the growth of the age related macular degeneration market. Moreover, the high expense of purchasing medications essential for curing the disease, such as anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections, constraints several patients from undergoing the treatment. This hampers the development of the market. According to an article published by the UK-based scientific journals publisher—BioMed Central— age related macular degeneration is one of the leading causes of vision loss and by 2040, the disease is anticipated to impact 288 million individuals.
