Out of these, during the historical period (2014–2018), the Eylea category witnessed the fastest growth, and it is expected to keep growing during the forecast period at a CAGR of 10.0%. This is mainly attributed to the surging demand for this medication due to its low cost as well as high efficiency in the management of exudative or wet AMD.

Of these, in 2018, the direct channel category held more than 60.0% share in the market, owing to the fact that a direct channel of distribution demands less investment and excludes the need for a third person for the supply of products, thereby making the process simpler and shorter. Hence, market players prefer selling their products directly to pharmacies and medical stores.

Based on the age group, the wet age-related macular degeneration market is categorized into drugs that are given to people aged 40–59 years, 60–80 years, and above 80 years. Out of these, in 2018, wet AMD drugs prescribed to people above 80 years of age contributed nearly 60.0% revenue to the market. Due to growing prevalence of the disease in the geriatric population, the market is expected to witness significant progress in the forecast period.
