Geographic Atrophy Market to Witness Robust Growth by 2035 – BIS Research

The global geographic atrophy market is projected to experience substantial growth between 2025 and 2035. This momentum is driven by technological innovations in retinal therapies, including gene therapies, biologics, and stem cell approaches. The demand for effective management of geographic atrophy a major cause of vision impairment among the elderly continues to climb as the global population ages and awareness of AMD rises. Investment in healthcare infrastructure, particularly in North America and Europe, and the proliferation of advanced diagnostic tools, are supporting rapid market development. Despite notable challenges such as high treatment costs and regulatory hurdles, ongoing research and the entry of new therapies are expected to support the market’s positive outlook.

What Is Geographic Atrophy? 

Geographic atrophy (GA) is an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration, characterized by the progressive loss of retinal cells, leading to irreversible vision loss in older adults. As a leading cause of blindness worldwide, GA significantly impacts patient quality of life and underscores the urgent need for advanced, accessible therapies and early intervention strategies. 

What Is the Market Outlook? 

Therapeutic Innovation: 

The market is witnessing robust progress in retinal therapies, with a particular focus on gene therapies, biologics, and stem cell treatments designed to slow or halt disease progression. 

Enhanced Diagnostics: 

Advancements in early detection—such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus imaging are enabling timely diagnosis and better clinical outcomes for patients. 

Rising Healthcare Investment: 

Growing healthcare expenditure and insurance coverage for vision-related conditions in regions with high AMD prevalence are broadening patient access to new therapies. 

How Fast Is the Market Growing? 

The geographic atrophy market is expected to maintain a strong growth trajectory from 2025 to 2035, driven by an increasing global burden of AMD, expanded treatment options, and improved healthcare infrastructure in both developed and emerging markets.
