The Company believes that OCU400—Ocugen’s therapeutic approach, utilizing a proprietary modifier gene therapy platform—has the potential to be a gene-agnostic therapeutic for RP AND LCA patients WITH inherited retinal degeneration.

## **Retinal Biologics Market Trends**

The main reason fueling the market's expansion is the rising incidence of ocular problems that lead to chronic retinal diseases in different parts of the world. The World Health Organisation estimates that over 2.2 billion individuals worldwide have a vision issue. The enormous patient base experiencing eye problems is what fuels market expansion. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinal vein occlusion (RVO) are becoming more common. RVO is the second most prevalent retinal vascular condition and a major contributor to vision loss. There are around 11 million Americans who suffer from some sort of age-related macular degeneration.

By 2050, this figure is projected to rise to around 22 million. The market expansion for retinal biologics is supported over the forecast period by expanding R&D efforts and new launches.

The market would be propelled by a high emphasis on research and development (R&D) related to retinal gene treatments carried out by various institutes, biologics companies, and innovative product releases by key industry participants in the form of biologics and implants. The market will grow faster if efforts are made to provide complementary therapeutic interventions. Concern over diabetic retinopathy has increased as more type I and type II adult diabetes individuals experience visual loss as a result of the condition. The effects of diabetic retinopathy, which cause the macula to swell, also result in diabetic macular edoema.

Another factor driving the demand for retinal medicines and biologics is the rising prevalence of other retinal illnesses such uveitis and orbital inflammation. Retinal gene therapy is a therapeutic strategy in which DNA or RNA is used to treat inherited faulty genes. Because there is minimal contamination and the viral vector can fit easily into the eyes, retinal gene therapy is seen as a key strategy.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and other disorders associated with an ageing population will be a driving force behind this market's expansion. There are about 15 million AMD sufferers in the United States, according to studies by the American Academy of Ophthalmology. In some persons, especially the elderly, the condition may result in a loss of central visual acuity in either one or both eyes. Age-related progression of AMD disease puts the older population at higher risk.

Additionally, increased alcohol and smoking use opens the door for a number of illnesses, including hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, which will benefit the retinal biologics business. The development of retinal biologics will benefit from significant investments in R&D as well as strategic alliances amongst market participants. As diabetes causes diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macula edoema, two of the most prevalent retinal illnesses, it will also have an impact on the growth of the retinal biologics market. Thus, driving the Retinal Biologics market revenue.
