Global Retinal Biologics Market is valued at approximately USD XX billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 6.8% during the forecast period 2023-2030. Retinal biologics are specialized treatments for retinal diseases that employ biological substances such as proteins, antibodies, gene therapy, or cell-based therapies. These innovative therapies target specific pathways involved in conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal vein occlusion Derived from living organisms such as proteins or antibodies, these biologics are meticulously designed to target precise molecules or processes implicated in retinal diseases. By homing in on the underlying mechanisms, they offer targeted therapies that surpass conventional approaches in efficacy. Administered primarily through intravitreal injections, the delivery method ensures direct application of the medication into the eye, optimizing treatment precision and efficacy. The Retinal Biologics Market is expanding because of factors such as the rising number of FDA approvals, increasing healthcare expenditure, coupled with the growing aging population. The Retinal Biologics Market is poised for growth due to the introduction of diverse drug products aimed at treating retinal diseases, which is fostering increased competition in the market.
In addition, the prevalence of vision impairments, including diabetic retinopathy is to further stimulate market demand across the globe. According to a 2023 report by the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 2.2 billion individuals globally are affected by either distant or near vision impairments, underscoring the urgent need for effective treatments in the retinal biologics market. Also, according to the study conducted by National Institute of Health (NIH) titled “Global Prevalence of Diabetic Retinopathy and Projection of Burden through 2045: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis,” published in November 2021, the global prevalence of diabetic retinopathy among adults stood at an estimated 103.12 million in 2020. Projections suggest that by 2045, this figure rise substantially to reach 160.50 million individuals. This escalation in the prevalence of retinal diseases or diabetic retinopathy is anticipated to fuel demand for biological treatments, consequently propelling the growth of the Retinal Biologics Market during the estimated period of 2023-2030. Moreover, the rising innovation in biotechnology and drug development, as well as the growing investment in research and development present various lucrative opportunities over the forecast years. However, the high initial capital investment and stringent regulatory process are challenging the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Retinal Biologics Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2022 owing to the increasing R&D activities and the growing number of FDA approvals. The market in this region is expected to witness further growth, supported by the presence of major players. Moreover, key stakeholders in the region are implementing various strategies such as acquisitions, product launches, and partnerships to fortify their positions. For instance, in June 2020, Novartis announced the U.S. FDA’s approval for a label update for Beovu, which includes the addition of a subsection dedicated to retinal vasculitis or retinal vascular occlusion under ‘Warnings and Precautions’. Similarly in September 2021, the U.S. FDA approved the first biosimilar, Byooviz, for the treatment of macular degeneration disease. Whereas, Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast years. The increasing prevalence of retinal diseases, the growing burden of the diabetic population, as well as advancements in biotechnology and drug development, are significantly propelling the market demand across the region.
