DUBLIN, October 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Age-related Macular Degeneration Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.
The global age-related macular degeneration (AMD) market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 7.37% during the period 2016-2020.
According to the report, one of the key drivers for market growth will be increasing reimbursement benefits for AMD drugs. Medicare creates a national reimbursement rate depends on the average selling price of the drug.
In this case, the agency pays approximately almost 80% of the ranibizumab and bevacizumab injection, leaving 20% of the drug cost to be co-paid. Medicare Part B (insurance) also covers specific diagnostic tests and treatment of conditions and diseases of the eye, including treatment with specific injected drugs.
Further, the report states that the lack of trained ophthalmologists who have expertise in treating eye disorders such as AMD is one of the key challenges in the market. Although the number of people diagnosed with or prone to eyesight disorders has been on the rise every year, there are not enough trained and experienced eye care professionals (ophthalmologists, optometrists, ophthalmic assistants, and ophthalmic nurses) to treat eye disorders.
For instance, in Europe, there is just one ophthalmologist for every 8,000 people. The situation is worse in low- and middle-income countries such as India, where there is just one ophthalmologist for every 200,000 people. This poses a significant challenge to the growth of the market.
