The Glaucoma Drugs Market: 2018 – 2030 – Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies & Forecasts

Release Date: July 2018
Number of Pages: 224
Number of Tables and Figures: 46

Often cited as the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, glaucoma is a complex eye disease in which damage to the optic nerve leads to progressive, permanent vision loss. Although this damage is usually caused by increased IOP (Intraocular Pressure) inside the eye, even patients with normal range IOP can develop glaucoma.

Glaucoma can be treated with eye drops, injections, oral pills, laser treatment or surgery. Expected to surpass $7 Billion in global spending by the end of 2018, drugs remain the preferred approach to treat most cases of glaucoma. Despite the loss of patent protection for several blockbuster drugs which has attracted generic competition, the market is ripe for future growth with two recent approvals of new drug classes, and a number of novel therapies in late-stage development.
The “Glaucoma Drugs Market: 2018 – 2030 – Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies & Forecasts” report presents an in-depth assessment of the glaucoma drugs ecosystem including treatment options, delivery technologies, key trends, market drivers, challenges, investment potential, leading therapies, drug development pipeline,  opportunities, future roadmap, value chain, ecosystem player profiles and strategies. The report also presents market size forecasts for glaucoma drugs from 2018 through to 2030. The forecasts are segmented for 6 drug classes, 5 regions and 25 leading countries.

The report comes with an associated Excel datasheet suite covering quantitative data from all numeric forecasts presented in the report.

Key Findings:
The report has the following key findings: 
  • Expected to surpass $7 Billion in global spending by the end of 2018, drugs remain the preferred approach to treat most cases of glaucoma. As new drugs continue to revitalize glaucoma treatment options, the market is expected to continue its upward trajectory beyond 2018.
  • Recent approvals of Aerie Pharmaceuticals' ROCK (Rho Kinase) inhibitor Rhopressa (Netarsudil) and Bausch + Lomb's nitric oxide-donating prostaglandin F2-alpha analog Vyzulta (Latanoprostene Bunod), have brought about a renaissance in glaucoma treatment, particularly for patients whose needs were not being met with existing therapies.
  • The clinical-stage R&D pipeline is largely dominated by product candidates based on new formulations and delivery mechanisms for existing therapies, followed by novel ROCK & other protein kinase inhibitors, and prostaglandin EP2, EP3 & FP receptor agonists.
  • A number of new classes of drugs – ranging from therapeutic proteins and gene & cell therapies to cannabinoids and Tie2 pathway activators –  are being evaluated as part of pre-clinical and early-stage development programs.
  • Several novel approaches to glaucoma drug delivery are beginning to emerge, such as biodegradable implants for the sustained release of IOP-lowering medication over a period of months, and precise micro-dosing technologies to alleviate the inefficiencies associated with the high doses delivered by conventional eye droppers.
