Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) stands as a prevalent disorder, particularly among the elderly population. A report from the BrightFocus Foundation in the US highlighted that the dry form of AMD accounts for approximately 90% of all diagnosed cases. In the US alone, statistics from January 2019 indicated that over 11 million individuals were affected by AMD, a number projected to double to around 22 million by the year 2050. Similarly, on a global scale, the prevalence of AMD is anticipated to surge significantly, escalating from approximately 196 million cases in 2020 to an estimated 288 million cases by 2040, according to the same report.
The concerning trend of escalating AMD cases extends to China as well. The report highlighted a substantial increase in AMD cases within the Chinese population. In 2020, the reported cases stood at 31.23 million, a figure projected to skyrocket to approximately 55.19 million by 2050. Notably, a majority of these cases are expected to be the dry form of AMD, emphasizing its predominant presence within the affected population.
These projections paint a concerning picture of the escalating prevalence of AMD, both in the US and globally, including China. The substantial increase in diagnosed cases, particularly the dry form of AMD, poses significant challenges for healthcare systems worldwide. Addressing this growing burden of AMD necessitates a proactive approach, including advancements in research, innovative treatments, and enhanced accessibility to healthcare services. The rise in AMD cases underscores the urgency of collaborative efforts in the medical community to develop effective interventions and preventative measures to manage and mitigate the impact of this widespread eye disorder, ensuring improved outcomes and quality of life for affected individuals in the years to come.
In 2018, healthcare spending in the US averaged more than $10,000 per resident, surpassing all other OECD countries by a significant margin, even when accounting for different purchasing powers across nations. Switzerland, the next highest spender among OECD nations, allocated less than 70% of this amount, while the average spending for all OECD countries amounted to less than 40% of the US figure, totaling $3,994. Government expenditures on healthcare, coupled with policies governing healthcare facilities, access to essential medications, and disposable income availability, play pivotal roles in fostering patient adherence to available treatments. Besides public investment, substantial contributions from manufacturers, venture capitalists, and the introduction of new products in the global intracranial hemorrhage diagnosis and treatment market are anticipated to drive market growth.
The landscape of healthcare investments demonstrates a surge in funding, particularly in the health technology sector. The 2019 Year End Asia Pacific Health Tech Investment Landscape Report by Galen Growth revealed that health tech funding in Asia reached an impressive $5 billion across 340 deals. This substantial increase in healthcare spending is expected to positively impact market growth. A Statista report from October 2020 highlighted China's remarkable healthcare expenditure surge, escalating from under 500 billion yuan in 2000 to over 6.5 trillion yuan in 2019. Such substantial increases in healthcare spending are foreseen to catalyze growth within the dry AMD market.

Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration Market Trends
- Growing Prevalence of Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration with growing geriatric population to boost the market growth.
Despite an increasing life expectancy and decreasing fertility levels, the older population in the world is growing rapidly, according to a UN report published in December 2020. In 2020, 727 million people were 65 or older, and the number is predicted to rise to 1.5 billion by 2050, according to the same report. There is a projected increase in the proportion of people aged 65 and over in the population from 9.3% in 2020 to 16.0% in 2050. The same is predicted in China. The UN projects a rise in the share of seniors from 12% in 2020 to 26% by 2050.
To support national and international health goals, comprehensive and comparable health spending estimates are crucial to health policy and planning. On February 20, 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a new report on health expenditure, indicating that health spending increased by 6% in low- and middle-income countries and 4% in high-income countries. There is a shift in how external and domestic funding is used, but in middle-income countries, external funding is declining. Governments spend less than 40% on primary health care.
Only a few medications, primarily anti-VEGFs, are approved to treat age-related macular degeneration. Anti-VEGF drugs require repeated and inconvenient intraocular injections, which makes treatment more burdensome and results in non-adherence. It is being developed by companies to develop longer-acting anti-VEGFs and vitreous implants to facilitate sustained drug delivery to overcome this obstacle. It is expected that long-acting anti-VEGF drugs such as Beovu and Vabysmo will propel market growth in the coming years. Still, the entry of biosimilars and a high adoption rate of off-label drugs like impede market growth.
However, the FDA approved a biosimilar version under the brand name BYOOVIZ in September 2021 for treating wet AMD, myopic choroidal neovascularization, and retinal vein occlusion in the United States. This is another factor driving the growth of the dry age-related macular degeneration market revenue.
Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration Market Segment Insights
Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration Stages Insights
The dry age-related macular degeneration market segmentation, based on stages, includes early age-related macular degeneration, intermediate age-related macular degeneration, and late age-related macular degeneration. The early age-related macular degeneration segment held the majority share in 2021, contributing to around ~35-37% with respect to the dry age-related macular degeneration market revenue.
As AMD patient numbers increase at this stage, it is difficult to distinguish between early-stage AMD and later-stage AMD. Early-stage AMD does not result in vision loss and is diagnosed by the presence of medium-sized drusen beneath the retina. The drusen are deposits of amorphous debris that form near the retinal pigment epithelium's basement membrane.
Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration Age Group Insights
The dry age-related macular degeneration market segmentation, based on age group, includes above 75 years, above 60 years, and above 40 years. The above 75 years segment dominated the dry age-related macular degeneration market in 2021 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2023-2032. In the elderly, vision loss is a serious problem since it gets worse over time.
There are two primary types of macular degeneration dry macular degeneration and wet macular degeneration. Both are potentially fatal and require medical attention, which is why there is an increasing number of elderly patients in the dry age-related macular degeneration market growth.
Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration Route of Administration Insights
The dry age-related macular degeneration market data has been bifurcated by route of administration into oral and injectables. The oral segment dominated the dry age-related macular degeneration market in 2021 and is projected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, 2023-2032.
