What Are the Major Drivers Propelling the Growth of the Geographic Atrophy Market?

Increasing prevalence of age-related macular degeneration is expected to propel the growth of the geographic atrophy market going forward. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye condition that damages the central part of the retina of the older adults, making it difficult to see fine details. Aging population is the major reason for the prevalence of age-related macular degeneration, as more people are living longer, and the natural aging process causes gradual damage to the eyes, making them more vulnerable to the disease over time. Geographic atrophy treatment support age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients by slowing the progression of retinal damage and preserving remaining vision. For instance, in January 2024, according to a report published by Medical News Today, a US-based digital media company, the global cases of age-related macular degeneration are expected to rise from 196 million to 288 million by 2040. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of age-related macular degeneration is driving the growth of the geographic atrophy market.

Which Disruptive Trends Are Reshaping the Competitive Landscape of the Geographic Atrophy Market?

Major companies operating in the geographic atrophy market are focusing on innovative therapies such as complement inhibitor therapy to develop advanced treatments for geographic atrophy. Complement inhibitor therapy is a treatment that slows down an overactive immune response linked to certain diseases and helps protect healthy cells from damage and reduces disease progression. For instance, in February 2025, Astellas Pharma Inc., a Japan-based pharmaceutical company announced IZERVAY (avacincaptad pegol intravitreal solution) for geographic atrophy approved by the Food and Drug Administration, a US-based government agency. This approval allows IZERVAY to be used without a limitation on the duration of dosing for treating geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This decision provides greater flexibility for managing GA, offering longer-term treatment options for both patients and healthcare providers.
