Juvenile Macular Degeneration Market Overview :


The Global Juvenile Macular Degeneration (Stargardt Disease) Market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.70% and is anticipated to reach USD 1.8 Billion by 2030. 


Juvenile macular degeneration is a genetic eye disorder that causes progressive vision loss. This disorder affects the retina, the specialized light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye. Specifically, juvenile macular degeneration affects a small area near the center of the retina called the macula. The macula is responsible for sharp central vision, which is needed for detailed tasks such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces. The market is mainly driven by factors such as the increasing prevalence of eye disorders, development of new drugs and therapies, and emerging government policies. However, the high cost of treatment and lack of reimbursement is expected to restrain the growth of this market.


Market Dynamics


The rising prevalence of eye disorder and technological advancements in juvenile macular degeneration are some of the factors that drive the growth of the market. Juvenile macular degeneration is a rare inherited eye condition which affects the central area of the retina called the macula, also known as fundus flavimaculatus. It affects about 1 in 10,000 people and is sometimes called juvenile macular dystrophy since it tends to first appear between the ages of 10 to 20 although visual impairment may not be apparent until as late as ages 30 to 40. Juvenile macular degeneration disease causes parts of the macula to stop working, leading to problems with central vision, detailed vision, and sometimes with color perception. The major driving factors for the global juvenile macular degeneration market are increasing the prevalence of eye disorders, development of new drugs, and therapies, and emerging government policies. However, lack of awareness and no treatment option for juvenile macular dystrophy may hamper the market growth.
