Retinal Disorder Treatment Market Report 2025

The retinal disorder treatment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $12.59 billion in 2024 to $13.82 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to introduction of anti-vegf therapies, aging population, increased incidence of retinal disorders, improved diagnostic tools for early detection, increased awareness and screening programs, expanded access to healthcare services.

The retinal disorder treatment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.62 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to patient-centric approaches in retinal healthcare, increasing global healthcare expenditure, greater focus on combination therapies for retinal disorders, rise of home-based retinal disorder monitoring, increasing adoption of implantable devices for retina treatment, adoption of regenerative medicine in retina treatment. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in ophthalmic imaging technologies, development of minimally invasive surgical techniques, integration of artificial intelligence in diagnostics, advancements in drug delivery technologies, integration of virtual reality in retinal rehabilitation, collaboration between research institutions and pharmaceutical companies, development of gene therapies for genetic retinal diseases.

The anticipated increase in the prevalence of retinal disorders is set to drive the expansion of the retinal disorder treatment market. Retinal diseases encompass medical conditions affecting the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, and can lead to vision loss or severe visual impairment. Treatments for retinal disorders, including laser therapy, vitrectomy, and retinal implants, play a crucial role in managing and alleviating symptoms. As of January 2023, the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness reports that age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is projected to account for approximately 5% of global blindness. The prevalence of AMD is expected to impact 288 million individuals by the year 2040. Thus, the rising incidence of retinal disorders is a significant driver for the growth of the retinal disorder treatment market.

The rising prevalence of diabetes is anticipated to drive the growth of the retinal disorder treatment market in the future. Diabetes is a chronic condition marked by high blood glucose levels, stemming from the body's insufficient insulin production or ineffective use of insulin. Diabetic retinopathy, the most common retinal disorder among people with diabetes, results from damage to the retina's blood vessels, potentially causing bleeding, fluid leakage, and the formation of new blood vessels. Retinal disorder treatments often use lasers to seal leaking vessels or remove abnormal ones. For instance, as reported by the International Diabetes Federation in December 2021, approximately 537 million adults aged 20-79 were living with diabetes in 2021, a figure projected to rise to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045. Thus, the growing prevalence of diabetes is fueling the expansion of the retinal disorder treatment market.

A notable trend gaining traction in the retinal disorder treatment market is the innovation of products by major companies. These innovations are introduced to maintain a competitive edge in the market. For example, in January 2022, F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG, a pharmaceutical company based in Switzerland, received FDA approval for Vabysmo. Vabysmo is a bispecific antibody designed to treat neovascular or wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME). It represents the first injectable eye medication targeting and inhibiting two disease pathways, Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (VEGF-A), associated with retinal diseases. Clinical trials demonstrated non-inferior vision improvements compared to traditional therapy, with a favorable safety profile.

Major companies in the retinal disorder treatment market are actively developing innovative products, including treatments for geographic atrophy, to expand their customer bases, boost sales, and increase revenue. Geographic atrophy treatments focus on symptom management, disease progression mitigation, and aiding individuals in coping with visual impairment. For instance, in August 2023, Astellas Pharma Inc., a Japanese pharmaceutical company, received FDA approval for IZERVAY. As a novel complement C5 inhibitor, IZERVAY is the sole approved treatment for geographic atrophy (GA) showing a statistically significant reduction (p< 0.01) in the rate of GA progression in two Phase 3 clinical trials. This distinction positions IZERVAY as an effective therapy for GA secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

In July 2023, Astellas Pharma Inc. acquired Iveric Bio Inc., a biopharmaceutical company based in the United States, for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition is aimed at expanding Astellas' presence in ophthalmology, gaining access to innovative therapies for retinal diseases, and enhancing its position in the market for treating ophthalmologic conditions and vision loss.

The countries covered in the retinal disorder treatment market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Italy, Spain, Canada.

Retinal disorder treatment encompasses medical interventions and procedures aimed at managing or improving the symptoms and conditions associated with retinal disorders. Retinal disorders involve abnormalities or damage to the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye responsible for transmitting visual signals to the brain.

The main types of retinal disorder treatment include macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and others. Macular degeneration, often referred to as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), is a chronic eye condition primarily affecting the macula - the central area of the retina responsible for clear central vision. Treatment options are available in various dosage forms, including gels, eye solutions, capsules, tablets, eye drops, and ointments. These treatments are typically distributed through hospital pharmacies, online pharmacies, and retail pharmacies.
