The latest trend gaining momentum in the market is Rising use of combination therapies. There has been a rising demand for combination therapies for the treatment of retinal disorders. Combination therapies reduce the frequency of eye drop/drugs administration.

Combination therapies are expected to reduce the possibility of choroidal neovascularization, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression and inflammation.

According to the report, one of the major drivers for this market is rising geriatric population and corresponding increase in patient pool. The global geriatric population continuous to grow rapidly due to factors such as rapidly falling fertility rates and growing life expectancy due to improved medical facilities.
