The rise in surgeries associated with eye disorders like cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma has increased the demand for diagnostic and monitoring ophthalmic devices. According to a study, 4 out of 10 people have been found to have cataract disease in their early stages of life. The absolute number of cataract blind in 2020 would be 8.25 million, due to a substantial increase in the population above 50 years in India. Lack of awareness about eye diseases mostly in developing and underdeveloped nations is expected to hinder the growth of the diagnostic and monitoring ophthalmic devices and equipment market. BLack of awareness of eye disorders results in fewer patients going for a routine eye check-up or diagnosis of the disorder, impacting the demand for diagnostic and monitoring ophthalmic equipment. According to a study conducted by the vision impact institute, 42% of drivers in India have vision-related problems leading to 59% of road accidents. According to WHO, 550 million people in the country need vision correction and to achieve this, companies should increase awareness & provide vision care to people living in rural and semi-urban areas. Advanced eye care medical devices equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are the new trends in the ophthalmic diagnostic and monitoring equipment market. AI and ML-equipped medical devices can not only quickly interpret the eyes of the patient with better accuracy but also recommend a suitable treatment for the patient. Deepmind, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. has developed an AI-based system that is capable of analyzing 3D retinal OCT scans for detecting severe diseases like glaucoma, retinopathy, macular degeneration, and 50 different types of eye diseases at their early stage. The increased regulatory compliance norms by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have impacted the market making the approval/regulation process for diagnostic and monitoring ophthalmic devices strenuous. Complex and tedious premarket and postmarket submissions by FDA may increase the product release time and incur heavy costs on device development. The MHRA considers a medical device to be any equipment used for the diagnosis or treatment of disease, or for monitoring patients and recommends Yellow card reporting for ophthalmic devices and products as well. All the adverse events and the causes for any untoward incidents must be reported in the yellow card, allowing the equipment to be monitored thoroughly for enhanced patient safety.

Macula refers to the central portion of the retina, a light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye. The macula is responsible for central vision. Degeneration of the macula, which affects the central part of the retina (the macula) and results in distortion or loss of central vision, occurs most commonly after the age of 60 and is referred to as age-related macular generation (AMD). The macular degeneration treatment is used to treat macular degeneration eye disease and slow the disease and prevent severe loss of vision. The main disease stages in the macular degeneration treatment market are early-stage AMD, intermediate AMD, and late-stage AMD. In early-stage AMD, the macula changes, with medium-sized drusen deposits and no pigment changes, but this does not impact vision. Intermediate AMD is when vision may get blurry or wavy with large drusen or pigment changes. In late-stage AMD, the central vision fails completely, causing vision loss. The different types of macular degeneration treatments include wet macular degeneration and dry macular degeneration. The different routes of administration of macular degeneration treatment include oral, injectable, and others used by different end-users such as ambulatory surgical centers, ophthalmic clinics, and hospitals. The macular degeneration treatment research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides macular degeneration treatment statistics, including macular degeneration treatment industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with macular degeneration treatment shares, detailed macular degeneration treatment segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the macular degeneration treatment industry. This macular degeneration treatment research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry. The global macular degeneration treatment market size grew from $8.44 billion in 2022 to $9.43 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The macular degeneration treatment market size is expected to grow to $14.3 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 11.0%. The increasing burden of retinal disorders is expected to propel the growth of the macular degeneration treatment market. Retinal disorders affect the vital tissue and affect the way individuals process visual information, leading to distorted or absent vision. According to a study done in Tanzania in 2020 about the prevalence of retinal diseases and associated risk factors, out of 1,007 people, the prevalence of vitreoretinal disorders was 22.8% (230/1,007). The study was conducted by OSLI Retina, which focuses solely on retinal diseases, surgery, and pharmacotherapy. The leading retinal diseases were age-related hypertensive macular scars (2.7%), retinopathy (4.5%), and degeneration (7.0%). According to the American Academy of Opthalmology, in 2050, an estimated 7.32 million people in the United States will have primary open-angle glaucoma, with the highest numbers among populations aged 70 to 79 years (32%), women (50%), and Hispanics (50%). The largest demographic group is Hispanic men. Therefore, the increasing burden of retinal disorders is driving the growth of the macular degeneration treatment market. The development of advanced therapies is a key trend gaining popularity in the macular degeneration treatment market. Advanced therapy, including gene therapy, for the treatment of disease has seen development in recent years, particularly in the world of inherited retinal disease. For instance, in October 2021, Genentech, a US-based biotechnology company, announced that FDA has approved Susvimo, a new treatment for wet age-related macular degeneration. Susvimo is the first wet AMD treatment to offer an alternative to the standard-of-care eye injections required as frequently as once per month in the last 15 years. Susvimo will help people with wet AMD retain their vision with as few as two treatments per year by continually injecting medication into the eye via a refillable implant.

The ophthalmology drugs market consists of sales of ophthalmology drugs and related services by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that produce ophthalmology drugs to treat eye related diseases. The ophthalmology drugs industry includes establishments that produce pharmaceutical drugs to treat glaucoma diseases, anti- inflammatory and tear stimulating drugs under dry eye medications drugs, and other drugs for treating retinal disorders and allergies. Some of the major ophthalmic drugs include Eylea, Lucentis, Restasis, Vigamox, Azopt, and Lotemax. The main types of ophthalmology drugs are antiglaucoma drugs, dry eye medication, and other ophthalmological drugs (retinal disorders, anti-infectives/allergy). Anti-glaucoma drugs are medications used to prevent or treat glaucoma, which is a disease in which the optic nerve is damaged, resulting in progressive, irreversible vision loss. The drugs are administered through oral, parenteral, and others that are classified into branded and generic drugs. The various mode of purchase includes prescription-based drugs and over-the-counter drugs which are distributed by hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies/ drug stores and others. The global ophthalmology drugs market size is expected to grow from $50.62 billion in 2021 to $56.07 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth in the market is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The ophthalmology drugs market is expected to reach $127.15 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 22.7%. The expected rise in eye laser surgeries will contribute to the ophthalmology drugs market. Ophthalmology research has proved a link between laser eye surgeries and the prevalence of dry eye disorders. In an eye laser procedure, cutting of some nerves in the cornea leads to reduction in corneal sensitivity, in response to which, eyes may not sense the need for lubrication, causing the body to produce fewer tears. Dry eye is a common side effect after laser vision correction surgeries. It is estimated that almost half of the patients that undergo a laser surgery experience some degree of dry eye condition following the procedure. The number of eye laser procedures rose to 720,000 a year in 2020. A rising number of people going for laser eye surgeries is expected to increase the demand for dry eye medications in the forecast period driving the ophthalmology drugs market. Regulatory changes are likely to lead to increased costs relating to new product development and service offerings to clients. These changes are related to data protection such as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), changes to drug approval procedures and other regulatory changes. For instance, according to a study on 100 Data Privacy and Data Security statistics for 2020, GDPR compliance is a top priority for 58% of European companies. The GDPR regulation is a EU law on data protection and privacy of individuals residing the European Union and the European Economic Area (EEA). It also regulates data anonymization thus maintaining integrity of data dealing with patients and other clinical trial studies. The potential loss of revenue due to delays in product release and additional costs incurred due to stringent approval processes puts strain to investments relating to new product development, thereby affecting the growth of the ophthalmology drugs market. Drug manufacturers are increasingly developing ophthalmic drugs with anti-inflammatory agents to ease patient treatment for dry eye syndrome. Anti-inflammatory drugs are widely used for the treatment of the inflammation produced by the dry eye syndrome, with the topical corticosteroid drops being the most common therapy. Corticosteroids can rapidly and effectively relieve the symptoms and signs of moderate or severe dry eye. However, prolonged usage of corticosteroids has seen to produce side effects that include risk of bacterial or fungal infection, elevated intraocular pressure and cataract formation. As a consequence, NSAIDs are increasingly being used as dry eye treatment instead of steroids to minimize the side effects. For instance, Aciex Therapeutics, a US-based pharmaceutical company, is developing NSAIDs which decrease ocular discomfort. Major companies in the ophthalmology drugs market include Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Novartis AG, AbbVie, Santen Pharmaceutical Co., F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., Bausch Health Companies Inc., Bayer AG, Sumitomo Chemical Co ltd, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation and Horizon Therapeutics plc.
