Key Factors Driving Myopic Macular Degeneration Market 

Myopic Macular Degeneration Rising Prevalence

In 2023, Myopic Macular Degeneration (MMD) exhibited notable prevalence in the 7MM, with Japan accounting for 49% of diagnosed cases, followed by the US at approximately 27%. Analysis indicates that females are predominantly affected, possibly due to hormonal, genetic, or environmental factors. A concerning complication of MMD is choroidal neovascularization (CNV), which represented around 5% of total diagnosed MMD cases in 2022.

Myopic Macular Degeneration Market Dynamics

The Myopic Macular Degeneration market is anticipated to experience slow but steady growth through 2034, primarily due to limited therapeutic options and scarcity of emerging therapies. Key companies driving research and development include Roche, Bayer, and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, focusing on innovative approaches to manage vision-threatening complications of pathological myopia.

Myopic Macular Degeneration Treatment Landscape

Current management of Myopic Macular Degeneration emphasizes monitoring, early detection, and treatment of complications like CNV. Approved therapies targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathways, such as anti-VEGF agents, form the cornerstone of treatment. The lack of robust pipeline activity limits rapid market expansion, although ongoing awareness and clinical research are gradually shaping more effective management protocols.

Myopic Macular Degeneration Clinical Trials and Emerging Therapies

Emerging therapies include VABYSMO (faricimab) by Roche, a bispecific antibody designed to inhibit angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and VEGF-A signaling pathways. Currently registered in a Phase III “not yet recruiting” trial for retinal conditions, faricimab has potential applicability for mCNV, highlighting opportunities for future growth in the Myopic Macular Degeneration market.

Myopic Macular Degeneration Treatment Market

Myopic Macular Degeneration Overview

Myopia is a refractive error where distant objects appear blurry while close objects can be seen more clearly. High myopia is characterized by a higher degree of nearsightedness. Individuals with high myopia are at increased risk of developing myopia-related blinding complications, such as myopic macular degeneration (Myopic Macular Degeneration), posterior staphyloma, and retinal detachment, all of which can cause irreversible vision loss.

The transition from myopia to pathological myopia sets the stage for various ocular complications, one of which is Myopic Macular Degeneration. This condition involves the progressive degeneration of the macula, the central region of the retina responsible for detailed vision. The elongated eyeball, thinning of the choroid, and structural changes in the retina contribute to the vulnerability of the macula, leading to the development of Myopic Macular Degeneration. It is characterized by the presence of staphyloma, lacquer cracks, Fuchs’ spot, or chorio-retinal atrophy at the posterior pole.

Symptoms of Myopic Macular Degeneration manifest as visual disturbances related to the central vision. Common symptoms include gradual loss of sharp vision, visual distortions, and difficulties with color perception, and challenges in recognizing faces.

Myopic Macular Degeneration Diagnosis

Myopic Macular Degeneration diagnosis is complex, encompassing fibrosis-related alterations, neurological aspects, airway irritation, and possible involvement of gastroesophageal reflux. Detecting Myopic Macular Degeneration involves visual acuity assessments, dilated eye exams, and advanced imaging such as optical coherence tomography (OCT). Macular abnormalities are identified through fluorescein angiography and Amsler grid tests. Genetic testing may be recommended for familial cases. Early detection allows for prompt intervention and effective management.

Myopic Macular Degeneration Treatment

Treatment for Myopic Macular Degeneration involves various strategies such as anti-VEGF therapy, photodynamic therapy, and retinal laser treatments. The multidisciplinary approach aims to preserve vision and manage complications. Lifestyle adjustments, corrective lenses, low vision aids, and regular monitoring are crucial. Notably, LUCENTIS (ranibizumab), the first FDA-approved anti-VEGF therapy for treating mCNV, was approved in January 2017. However, the availability of biosimilars may impact its market dynamics. The cost-utility of these treatments is a consideration, with the need for consistent estimation to guide decision-making for countries and national health services. Myopic Macular Degeneration clinical trials are advancing innovative therapies, offering hope for improved vision outcomes and better patient care globally.

Marketed Myopic Macular Degeneration Drugs

EYLEA (aflibercept): Bayer/Regeneron Pharmaceuticals

EYLEA is a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor formulated as an injection for the eye. EYLEA helps prevent VEGF-A and PLGF from interacting with their natural VEGF receptors in previous clinical trials. While ensuring a commendable safety profile, EYLEA's impact on the market and its cost-effectiveness compared to other treatments are essential considerations.

EYLEA, the sole approved mCNV treatment in Japan and Europe with an active patent, dominates the Myopic Macular Degeneration treatment landscape, immune to biosimilar competition.

Emerging Myopic Macular Degeneration Drugs

VABYSMO (faricimab): Roche

VABYSMO (faricimab) is the first bispecific antibody designed for the eye. It targets and inhibits two signaling pathways linked to a number of vision-threatening retinal conditions by neutralizing angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and VEGF-A. Faricimab is not present in the pipeline of Roche for the treatment of mCNV, but the trial is registered on CT, which is in Phase III “not yet recruiting” stage.

The absence of approved alternatives highlights the potential for VABYSMO to contribute significantly to the expansion of the Myopic Macular Degeneration treatment market.

Myopic Macular Degeneration Market Outlook

Myopic maculopathy (Myopic Macular Degeneration), also named Myopic Macular Degeneration and myopic retinopathy, encompassing macular atrophy, lacquer cracks, and choroidal neovascularization (mCNV), is influenced by age and axial length. Strategies like low concentration atropine and optical interventions aim to curb myopic progression.

Currently, no available treatment has been found for myopic maculopathy except for mCNV, creating a pressing need for more treatment options. Present treatments for Myopic Macular Degeneration align with wet AMD approaches, utilizing anti-VEGF medications such as LUCENTIS (with an expired patent) and EYLEA.

Surgical options, like posterior scleral reinforcement, provide alternatives. EYLEA, the exclusive mCNV treatment in Japan and Europe, maintains significance, unaffected by biosimilar competition, unlike LUCENTIS. Ongoing developments in this multifaceted landscape underscore the evolving strategies for managing Myopic Macular Degeneration.

• As the Myopic Macular Degeneration treatment landscape evolves, the emergence of VABYSMO in a Phase III trial brings hope for a targeted therapeutic option. The projected introduction of VABYSMO for mCNV is anticipated to propel the overall Myopic Macular Degeneration market in the 7MM, potentially reaching nearly USD 837 million by 2034.
• The Myopic Macular Degeneration market’s total size in the 7MM reached approximately USD 734 million in 2022. Projections indicate a steady growth during the forecast period.
• Out of the 7MM, Japan dominated the Myopic Macular Degeneration therapeutics market in 2022, representing the largest share at nearly 46%.
• The US alone represented approximately 34% of the total Myopic Macular Degeneration market in 2022, projected to increase at a substantial CAGR during the study period.
• In 2022, EU4 and the UK captured an estimated USD 147 million, which is anticipated to increase at a substantial CAGR. Among the European countries, France covered the largest Myopic Macular Degeneration market share in 2022, followed by Germany.
• At present, the pipeline for Myopic Macular Degeneration is limited. Nevertheless, with increased awareness and extensive research, the market outlook for Myopic Macular Degeneration treatment indicates a gradual expansion, promising a future characterized by effective management protocols.
