The global age-related macular degeneration market size is expected to reach USD 17.99 billion by 2030, registering to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2024 to 2030 . The growth is due to high R&D investments for new product development, product launches, rising age-related macular degeneration (AMD) prevalence, and the rising geriatric population.
There are no approved drugs available yet to treat dry age-related macular degeneration. This creates an opportunity for market players to address the unmet medical needs of dry AMD patients. However, for wet AMD, anti-VEGF drugs are used to treat and control the further deterioration of the condition.
Patients tend to discontinue their treatment without completion owing to frequent clinic visits and administration of drugs at shorter intervals. The key players are engaged in the research & development of longer acting anti-VEGF products to address the increased demand for such products. In February 2020, Novartis AG received approval for its product, Beovu, a macular degeneration drug from the European Commission for the treatment of patients with age-related macular generation. It is a long-acting drug to be administered at an interval of 12 weeks for the first year.
In addition, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd.’s drug candidate, Vabysmo (faricimab), with an injection administration period of 4 weeks during loading dose; received U.S. FDA approval in January 2022 for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration. Furthermore, in October 2021, Roche’s Susvimo received FDA approval and is expected to enter the U.S. in 2022. It is a refillable implant specific for LUCENTIS administration, with a refillable duration of six months. All these factors are expected to propel the market growth over the forecast period.
The patent expiry year for EYLEA is 2023 in the U.S. and 2025 in Europe, depending upon several patent categories. Lucentis (F. Hoffmann La Roche Ltd.) lost its patent in June 2020 in the U.S. and will lose patent protection in 2022 in Europe. As a result, biosimilar manufacturing companies are leveraging the opportunity to penetrate the AMD market. For instance, in October 2021, Formycon AG and Bioeq AG received the U.S. FDA acceptance of BLA for the company’s biosimilar version of Lucentis. The PDUFA date for the review of the application is scheduled for August 2022. All these factors could hamper the market growth over the forecast period.
