Market Definition

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease that can cause damage to the macula part of the eye that controls sharp and straight-ahead vision. This leads to blurring central vision. Vision loss can be caused by abnormal blood vessel growth. Sometimes abnormal new blood vessels grow from the choroid under and into the macula. The choroid is the layer of blood vessels between the retina and the outer, firm coat of the eye (sclera). These abnormal blood vessels may leak fluid or blood, interfering with the retina's function. Macular degeneration is common in aging people. Other reasons for the rising of procedures can be defined by the increasing aging people causes and the requirement for healthcare facilities, including treatment for patient-friendly techniques for diagnosis where the medical requirements are maximum, which can further decrease the burden on healthcare facilities.

The diagnosis and treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) disease consist of various techniques that allow diagnosis of the disease after the approval of the product. The treatment for the disease is recently approved, which supports the market growth. However, these treatments are expensive and not available to all patients.

Middle East and Africa Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Disease Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising geriatric population

The world’s geriatric population is increasing at a rapid rate. With the increasing age comes a reciprocal increase in the number of elderly patients due to the rising prevalence of chronic disease. Age is a severe risk factor for any disease progression as age is an essential parameter that affects fundamental biological mechanisms. Therefore, aging is one of the risk factors for the Middle East and Africa incidence of early AMD. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can cause damage to the macula part of the eye. This leads to blur central vision. It can cause irreversible blindness and is the leading cause of visual impairment in the elderly people.

Macular degeneration is more common in aging people. The diagnosis of disease is possible at various stages and number of genetic testing and retinal imaging are some of the techniques for the detection of disease. The diagnosis of the disease is conducted mainly by optical imaging techniques and other standard process. Thus, the increasing rate of the geriatric population is expected to drive the growth of the Middle East and Africa age-related macular degeneration (AMD) disease market growth.

• Increasing Prevalence of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Disease

The demand for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) disease treatment and diagnostic has been increased more in the developed countries. These countries had reimbursement policies for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) disease market along with that increasing prevalence of genetic diseases.

Thus, it signifies that increasing prevalence of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) disease is expected to drive the Middle East and Africa age-related macular degeneration (AMD) disease market growth.

Opportunity

•  Rising Research and Development 

Research and development is a prerequisite to modifying the treatment intended to treat different kinds of patients. The demand for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) treatment and procedures increasing worldwide involving every country Middle East and Africa. This is why the companies are continuously focusing on research and development in order to achieve success in providing effective treatment to patients and healthcare workers.

The effects can be seen only for individuals in certain ways that include effective potentiating factors such as the disease evolves, vision becomes progressively more compromised, the retinal tissue degenerates, and suffering permanent damage.

As the companies are constantly engaged in developmental activities more innovative products are launched in the market. This thus signifies that increasing research and development is expected as an opportunity for the Middle East and Africa age-related macular degeneration (AMD) disease growth. The various programs and decisions taken by the government around the world for giving the best treatment to their population is the major factor that is expected to increase the demand and will act as an opportunity for the Middle East and Africa age-related macular degeneration (AMD) disease market.

Restraint/Challenge

• High Cost Of Aesthetic Surgical Procedures

The cost of the product plays a major factor in the market. In the age-related macular degeneration (AMD) disease, it is generally observed that they are highly sophisticated, need to be precise, and other specifications increase the product's cost. Moreover, the cost associated with treatment for a longer duration is quite difficult for an average-income person to afford. Utilizations of critical care and intensive care unit services are increasing worldwide, along with their expensive cost is a major concern in the current healthcare system.

Patients with degeneration disorder are commonly required to have long treatment with frequent monetarization and other usage leading to consuming a significant amount of healthcare resources. Due to this, most patients who cannot afford long-term economic costs get discharged in the initial stages of treatment.  But this increases the possibilities and susceptibilities for new complications in the diagnosis which demands additional healthcare resources and treatment. As the cost of innovative and advanced products is high, the cost of the treatment proportionally gets escalated, due to which high cost associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) disease treatment and diagnosis is expected to restrain the Middle East and Africa age-related macular degeneration (AMD) disease market growth.

Recent Developments

• In January 2022, Genentech, Inc announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Vabysmo (faricimab-svoa) for the treatment of wet AMD and DME. This will help the company to commercialize the product in the market in the forecast period.
• In April 2022, Graybug Vision Inc. announced that the company has presented a poster presentation preclinical data at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) annual meeting for GB-401 in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
