Introduction & Scope
INTRODUCTION
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Around 285 million people are visually impaired worldwide; however, 80% of visual impairment can be prevented, detected or cured. This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the ophthalmic drug market by reviewing recent improvements in diagnosis and advances in product development, novel formulations and delivery devices, and clinical development of new drug classes to treat both the signs and symptoms of prevalent eye conditions. This report also discusses market trends and opportunities based on therapeutic areas and geographical regions. The report's main focus is to identify unmet clinical needs based on existing ophthalmic therapeutic drugs in retinal disease and diabetes-related conditions as well exploring potential new markets in the treatment of orphan diseases, retinitis pigmentosa and uveitis.
REASONS FOR DOING THE REPORT
The ophthalmic market is dominated by five major companies, Alcon (Novartis), Allergan, Merck & Co, Pfizer and Roche, each vying for pole position in key therapeutic
fields such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and glaucoma. Around 60% of global revenues are generated in the U.S.; however, many of the leading agents are
either off-patent or face patent expiry in the next five years. This will allow innovative generic and formulation specialists to generate cost-effective mono and combination
therapies, and force existing companies to develop new classes of drugs to protect their franchises and address areas of unmet clinic needs. According to the
Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), there are over 50 drugs in clinical development, including small molecule agents, biopharmaceuticals,
cell and gene-based therapies, many of which target the underlying cause of diseases and not just the symptoms. In 2014, the ophthalmic therapeutic drug market was
worth around $12.3 billion, and this is forecast to rise to over $19 billion by 2019, as the industry focuses on commercially viable targets of high unmet clinical need such as
orphan drugs diseases and the treatment of dry AMD.
SCOPE OF REPORT
