The increase in retinal illnesses is a significant factor in the market's expansion. In both industrialized and emerging nations, the prevalence of retinal illnesses as wet AMD, diabetic retinopathy, DME, RVO, and mCNV is considerably rising. In developed nations and the third-leading cause of visual impairment globally, AMD is the main contributor to visual impairment. AMD is predicted to affect 202,200 million people worldwide. Wet AMD is the cause of about nine out of every 10 cases of significant visual loss associated with AMD. Globally, roughly 500,000 people receive a brand-new wet AMD diagnosis each year.
The growth in risk factors is connected to the rising prevalence of retinal disorders. RVO typically affects adults over 50, and the risk rises with advancing age. From 2% for individuals in the age range of 50 to 59 to over 30% for those over 75, the risk of developing advanced AMD rises. Because the average life expectancy has increased globally, the senior population is likewise expanding quickly. In the world, there will be 810 million persons 65 and older by 2025, according to predictions. The prevalence of diabetic retinopathy, DME, and associated sequelae is rising as the prevalence of diabetes rises globally. Therefore, during the projection period, these factors will boost demand for retinal medications, boosting market expansion.
A new trend on the market is the surge in demand for sustained-release ocular formulations. The route of administration and length of treatment are still barriers to therapy, despite the fact that anti-VEGF medications are beneficial in many individuals. By lowering the frequency of dosing, doing away with the requirement for medications to be supplied by patients, and getting around the physical barriers of the ocular tissues, sustained-release ocular formulations can overcome the shortcomings of many of the present delivery methods. The ozurdex implant is a recognized biological intravitreal sustained DDS that can deliver dexamethasone over a period of months, improving visual acuity noticeably.
Due to the rising incidence of serious eye diseases, the increased R&D to discover new methods to deliver therapeutics, including small and large molecules, and the growing desire to lessen the frequency burden of repeated intravitreal injections, there is a steadily growing demand for new sustained-release ocular DDS. The development of sustained-release formulations for the management of various retinal diseases is another area of interest for a number of vendors. Therefore, it is anticipated that throughout the forecast period, increased demand for sustained-release ocular formulations will propel market expansion globally. Thus, driving the Retinal Drugs market revenue.
The Market segments of Retinal Drugs, based on Distribution Channel, includes hospital pharmacy, retail pharmacy, and online pharmacy. In 2022, the hospital pharmacies category dominated the global market for retinal drugs. Hospital pharmacies are locations where hospitals offer medications and other pharmaceutical-related products from various pharmaceutical companies. These products are utilized for the treatment of both inpatients and outpatients. Therapeutic and critical care medications can be available in hospital pharmacies. These medicines can be used to treat illnesses of the retina. Hospital pharmacists' main goal is to buy, store, and provide patients with pharmaceuticals. During the hospital-facilitated therapy period, patients get hospital medications.
The Retinal Drugs Market segmentation, based on Indication, includes macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and others. In 2022, the macular degeneration category held the greatest market share. This is because macular degeneration is becoming more common, there is more regulatory support, and major participants in the market are becoming more interested. For instance, the U.S. FDA authorized Byooviz, a biosimilar to Lucentis that was developed by Biogen Inc. and Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd., in September 2021 for the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). For the treatment of age-related macular degeneration, two Korean companies, Chong Kun Dang and Samsung Bioepis, plan to introduce a biosimilar version of Lucentis in December 2022.
