According to Vision Research Reports, the optic nerve disorders treatment market size was valued at US$ 14.51 Bn in 2020 and to reach valuation US$ 20 billion by 2028 with a CAGR of .24% during the forecast period from 2021 to 2028.
Optic nerve disorders treatment comprise medications and surgery, which treat optic nerve disorders (glaucoma, optic neuritis, and other related disorders). The optic nerve is a bundle of more than 1 million nerve fibers that carry visual messages. Damage to an optic nerve can cause vision loss depending on severity of damage to the optic nerve. Optic nerve disorders are a group of disorders related to optic nerves caused due to damage to optic nerves, which can lead to vision loss or eventually complete blindness.
Growth of the optic nerve disorders treatment market can be ascribed to increase in prevalence of optic nerve disorders and other related eye disorders across the globe. North America dominated the optic nerve disorders treatment market in 2018 and is projected to continue its dominance during the forecast period, owing to the rise in the number of prescriptions for glaucoma treatment in the region and high prevalence of optic nerve disorders.
Rise in Prevalence of Eye Disorders in Geriatric Population to Drive Optic Nerve Disorders Treatment Market
Growing prevalence of different eye disorders, which are rising due to optic nerve damage is a major factor responsible for the growth of the optic nerve disorders treatment market. Rise in aging population, which is more prone to ophthalmic problems, such as low sight vision is also a prime factor responsible for the expansion of the optic nerve disorders treatment market. According to National Institutes of Health, population aged 65 and above in the U.S. is projected to nearly double in the next three decades, from 48 million to 88 million by 2050. Moreover, high adoption rate of digital devices is also fueling the expansion of the optic nerve disorders treatment market due to adverse impact on vision.
Innovations in Corticosteroids Meet Post Ocular Surgery Requirements
Innovations in topical ocular corticosteroids are proving to be beneficial for patients in the management of pain and inflammation post ocular surgery. However, limitations of these corticosteroids, such as limited bioavailability and class-associated adverse events (AE) are some of the barriers that companies in the optic nerve disorders treatment market have to counter. Hence, manufacturers in the optic nerve disorders treatment market are educating healthcare providers about drug-specific variables of topical ocular corticosteroids, such as AE profile, potency, and patient-specific administration needs for better outcomes in patients.
Companies in the market for optic nerve disorders treatment are aiming at minimizing precorneal drug loss and maximizing drug delivery to the anterior tissues with the help of improved corticosteroid formulations. They are adopting various strategies to enhance ocular penetration by including mucoadhesive formulations in the development of new corticosteroids. Strategies, such as drug-particle size reduction enable faster drug dissolution, which increases bioavailability and penetration. Hence, companies in the optic nerve disorders treatment market are increasing the production capacities of loteprednol etabonate corticosteroids using retrometabolic drug design.
Companies Focus on Unmet Needs of NMOSD Patients in Europe
New drugs for rare neurologic eye diseases are being extensively researched for the treatment of MS and neuromyelitis optica. Striking correlation between neurologic diseases and rare eye conditions have opened the doors for innovation in the optic nerve disorders treatment market.
On the other hand, terminal complement inhibitors are under scrutiny of the European and Japanese health commissions. As such, companies are focusing to extend their product portfolios into Europe and Japan, since the two regions are projected for exponential growth during the forecast period. For instance, in June 2019, Alexion — a U.S. pharmaceutical company, announced that the European Medicines Agency and Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare are assessing applications of SOLIRIS® for the treatment of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD).
The optic nerve disorders treatment market in Europe is expected to reach a value of ~US$ 4.2 Bn. Thus, manufacturers in the market for optic nerve disorders treatment are focusing on meeting the needs of patients in Europe, since NMOSD is a rare disease.
Advancements in Beta Interferons Benefit MS Patients
High prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients is one of the key drivers for the growth of optic nerve disorders treatment market. Hence, manufacturers are increasing production capabilities to develop immunosuppressive drugs that improve quality of life in patients. For instance, in September 2019, Swiss multinational healthcare company Roche revealed its proceedings on trials for OCREVUS® — an immunosuppressive drug, to understand its effects in relapsing and progressive MS.
Companies in the optic nerve disorders treatment market are increasing trials of immunosuppressive drugs with beta interferons to provide relief to MS patients. As such, the beta interferons sub-segment of the pharmacological treatment segment is estimated to reach a value of ~US$ 2.5 Bn by 2027. Hence, manufacturers in the optic nerve disorders treatment market are increasing production capabilities in beta interferons, since pharmacological treatment segment is anticipated for aggressive growth during the forecast period. Moreover, the neurofilament light chain-lowering capabilities of beta interferons are increasingly benefitting MS patients.
High Demand for Pharmacological Treatment
In terms of treatment type, the optic nerve disorders treatment market has been bifurcated into pharmacological treatment and surgery. Pharmacological treatment dominated the optic nerve disorders treatment market in 2018. This segment is expected to dominate during the forecast period due to low cost and better efficacy of different medications. The pharmacological treatment segment has been further divided into prostaglandins, beta interferons, beta blockers, alpha-adrenergic agonist, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, corticosteroids, combination drugs, and others.
Prostaglandins accounted for a major share of the pharmacological treatment segment. Rise in demand for prostaglandins as a first line treatment option in glaucoma and increase in the number of prescriptions of this class are some of the major factors impacting the prostaglandins segment.
Glaucoma to be a Major Indication
In terms of indication, the optic nerve disorders treatment market has been segmented into glaucoma, optic neuritis, optic neuropathy, and others. Glaucoma segment dominated the global market and is likely to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period, owing to rise in prevalence of glaucoma and launch of effective combination products for glaucoma.
Rise in Number of Hospital Admissions for Ophthalmologic Problems
Based on end user, the optic nerve disorders treatment market has been divided into hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, clinics, and others. Hospitals segment is expected to account for major share during the forecast period. Increase in the number of hospital admissions and ability of hospitals to provide optimum health care services to patients are some of the major driving forces for the expansion of the hospitals segment. Clinics segment is also projected to be a lucrative segment during the forecast period, owing to the increase in the number of ophthalmic clinics in developed as well as developing regions and inclination of patients to avail treatment in specialized clinics for treatment of diseases.
North America to Dominate Global Market
In terms of region, the optic nerve disorders treatment market has been divided into five major regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America accounted for a major share of the optic nerve disorders treatment market in 2018 and is projected to remain dominant during the forecast period. High prevalence of optic nerve disorders and a favorable reimbursement scenario for surgeries are some of the factors responsible for the dominance of North America in the optic nerve disorders treatment market. Asia Pacific is a more lucrative market for optic nerve disorders treatment. The market in Asia Pacific is projected to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period, due to increase in geriatric population, rise in prevalence of glaucoma, and availability of generic drugs.
