Global Age-related Macular Degeneration Therapeutics Market – Dynamics

Globally, population aged 60 or over is increasing at a faster pace compared to all younger age groups. This group of population is highly susceptible to different types of age-related diseases such as diabetes, renal insufficiency, arthritis, and macular degeneration. The risk of getting affected by advanced age-related macular degeneration for people of age group of 50-59 is 2%, whereas it is around 30%, who are over the age of 75.
Moreover, increasing prevalence of age-related macular degeneration is expected to propel the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to the BrightFocus Foundation, January 2019, macular degeneration is a leading cause of blindness in the U.S. population aged above 60 years and around 11 million people in the U.S. suffered from macular degeneration, which is expected to double to nearly 22 million by 2050.
