North America is expected to be the largest market for ophthalmology drugs in 2030.

Global Ophthalmology Drugs Market Dynamics

DRIVER: Aging population and rising prevalence of vision disorders

The aging global population is one of the key factors driving the growing burden of ophthalmic diseases. As people age, they become more susceptible to conditions such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, and cataracts. AMD, in particular, is a leading cause of blindness among the elderly. The increasing incidence of AMD propels the demand for anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) therapies. Pharmaceutical companies like Regeneron and Roche leverage this trend by offering blockbuster treatments such as Eylea (aflibercept) and Lucentis (ranibizumab). These drugs work by targeting VEGF, a protein responsible for abnormal blood vessel growth in wet AMD. More recently, Roche/Genentech introduced Vabysmo (faricimab), a dual-action therapy that inhibits both VEGF-A and Ang-2. This innovation not only improves durability but also reduces the frequency of injections, thereby enhancing patient convenience. AMD is a major cause of vision loss, particularly in older adults. While aging remains a significant risk factor, lifestyle choices also play an increasingly important role in its prevalence. A recent meta-analysis covering Europe, Australia, and the US found a sharp rise in late-stage AMD—from 0.3 to 36.7 cases per 1,000 individuals aged 55–59 and 90 or older, respectively. Late-stage AMD also has a high heritability estimate of 71%, suggesting a strong genetic component. In 2023, collaborative research by teams from the US and Europe identified specific gene variants closely linked to AMD. Notably, three out of six genes also associated with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) were found to contribute to AMD, underscoring the complex genetic factors behind this vision-threatening condition.

RESTRAINT: Off-label drug use across multiple ophthalmic indications

In ophthalmology, key therapeutic areas include age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), and diabetic retinopathy (DR). A major challenge for drug developers in this space is the widespread use of off-label medications, which can limit new product uptake and revenue generation. One prominent example is bevacizumab (Avastin), which, although originally approved for cancer treatment, is frequently used off-label to manage AMD, DME, and DR due to its significantly lower cost. Avastin’s structural similarity to the FDA-approved AMD therapy Lucentis (ranibizumab) further supports its use as a cost-effective alternative. The price difference between the two drugs is particularly striking. This substantial economic benefit is a key driver of Avastin’s widespread off-label use. Outlook Therapeutics, a US-based clinical-stage biotechnology company, has received EMA approval for Lytenava, an ophthalmic formulation of bevacizumab. Off-label Avastin use currently accounts for nearly 50% of the wet AMD market in the US, underscoring its strong clinical presence. Its widespread use is backed by numerous studies that demonstrate its efficacy in treating AMD and other retinal diseases. Government agencies have also lent support. For instance, the Comparison of Age-Related Macular Degeneration Treatments Trials (CATT) conducted in the US and funded by NIH confirmed that Avastin is equally effective as Lucentis in treating subfoveal neovascular AMD. These findings have helped normalize Avastin's use in many countries, with some even offering insurance coverage for it exclusively in AMD treatment. However, Avastin is not without concerns. Follow-up studies have raised questions about its safety profile compared to Lucentis. Despite this, Avastin remains widely used in major markets such as the US and is covered under Medicare Part B for AMD treatment. In the EU, the European Court of Justice upheld Italy’s 2018 decision to include Avastin’s off-label use for wet AMD in national reimbursement lists, reinforcing its acceptance at both clinical and policy levels.

 

OPPORTUNITY: Shifting focus to new drug modalities

The primary treatment options for ophthalmic conditions today largely consist of monoclonal antibodies and recombinant fusion proteins such as Lucentis, Eylea, Beovu, Susvimo, and the recently approved Lytenava. Despite their clinical effectiveness, these therapies present significant limitations, including the need for frequent injections, high costs, and patient discomfort. For instance, Eylea—a recombinant fusion protein—is used to manage age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), and diabetic retinopathy (DR), with a single dose costing approximately USD 1,800. Lucentis, another widely used monoclonal antibody for AMD, DME, and retinal vein occlusion (RVO), requires administration every four weeks to maintain its therapeutic effect. Even with regular treatment, outcomes are often suboptimal. Data from Opthea Limited shows that 45% of patients receiving anti-VEGF therapies do not achieve significant visual improvements, and around 25% may experience further vision loss within a year or more of treatment. These challenges have intensified research efforts into novel treatment modalities such as gene therapies, hydrogels, and oral delivery systems. Gene therapy, in particular, holds promise for long-lasting treatment by delivering therapeutic genes directly to retinal cells, potentially eliminating the need for frequent injections. One such example is Adverum Biotechnologies’ leading gene therapy candidate, Ixoberogene soroparvovec (Ixo-vec), which is currently in Phase III clinical trials initiated in March 2025. Ixo-vec is designed as a one-time intravitreal (IVT) injection aimed at restoring vision and halting the progression of blindness in wet AMD. Meanwhile, hydrogels are being studied for their potential to enable sustained and controlled drug release, which could enhance treatment adherence and reduce dosing frequency.

CHALLENGES: Frequent and inconvenient intravitreal injections

One of the most pressing challenges in managing ophthalmologic conditions such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), diabetic retinopathy (DR), and retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is ensuring patient adherence to treatment. These conditions are typically treated using intravitreal injections, particularly anti-VEGF therapies. However, the need for frequent administration has become a major deterrent to long-term compliance. A 2021 multi-country research study involving patients from the UK, Australia, Brazil, and Canada revealed that non-adherence and early discontinuation of anti-VEGF treatments for neovascular AMD (nAMD) are significant obstacles to achieving effective outcomes. According to the study, nearly half of all patients stopped treatment within two years, with non-adherence rates ranging widely between 32% and 95%. These findings are echoed in insights from ophthalmologists across the UAE, UK, and India, who reported that the primary reasons for poor adherence include the burdensome frequency of injections, the need for regular clinic or hospital visits, and the associated financial costs. Additionally, a patient's level of education can also impact their understanding and commitment to consistent treatment, further contributing to dropout rates. Further evidence comes from a 2023 survey by the Norwegian subsidiary of F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG, conducted in collaboration with the University of Oslo. The survey found that nearly 49% of patients in Norway required nine or more intravitreal injections each year. Alarmingly, 37.7% of these patients also required caregiver support for each injection, highlighting the physical, emotional, and logistical burden placed on both patients and families.

Aflibercept commanded the largest market share in 2024.

On the basis of molecules, the ophthalmology drugs market is segmented into aflibercept, faricimab, ranibizumab, and other molecules. The aflibercept segment holds the largest market share due to its widespread adoption for treating various ophthalmic conditions and its significant geographic reach. Aflibercept, marketed under brands like Eylea and Eylea HD, is widely used for treating retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic eye disease, and retinal vein occlusion. It is a recombinant fusion protein that blocks vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and placental growth factor (PlGF), both of which contribute to abnormal blood vessel formation and leakage in the eye. Factors such as exceptionally high binding strength, allowing aflibercept to prevent VEGF from activating its receptors and reduce vascular leakage, set it apart from other anti-VEGF drugs. Its small molecular size enhances its penetration into the retina and choroid, enabling better treatment outcomes with fewer injections. A 2024 clinical study from Brazil reinforced its superior performance. Compared to other treatments like ranibizumab, bevacizumab, and ziv-aflibercept, patients receiving aflibercept required fewer injections and experienced improved retinal structure. Thus, aflibercept’s strong efficacy, fewer required doses, and improved patient outcomes make it a preferred treatment option for retinal diseases. Its advantages are expected to drive market adoption, reduce patient burden, and improve healthcare efficiency.
