The rise in the geriatric population that is vulnerable to eye diseases drives the growth of the artificial retina market during the forecast period. For instance, according to the review article "Macular Degeneration" of the National Library of Medicine, published in August 2022, age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is the most common cause of blindness prevalent in developed countries, particularly in people older than 60 years. According to the same source, AMRD accounts for 8.7% of all types of blindness worldwide. According to the article published in Geriatric Ophthalmology, in January 2021, 3.6 million individuals, or 18% of people over 70, were visually impaired. This factor increases the market CAGR in the forecast period.
Additionally, the rise in technological advancement and increase in research and development activities by key market players boost the market's growth during the forecast period. For instance, PIXIUM VISION, an innovative bionic vision systems company, is developing a PRIMA implant (sub-retinal implant) and the IRIS II, the only epi-retinal implant with 150 electrodes, intended for patients who have lost sight because of retinitis pigmentosa (RP). In addition, Axorus, a France company, developed subretinal implants for many patients suffering from age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa. Therefore, the rise in research and development activities is expected to drive the Retinal Implants market revenue growth during the forecast period.
