The risk of developing AMD is directly proportional to age. With the number of people aged 60 years and above rising, the prevalence of AMD is also increasing. According to the World Population Prospects data published by the United Nations (UN), in 2017, there were about 962 million people in the age group 60 years or over across the globe, and the number is predicted to more than double by 2050, reaching 2.1 billion ultimately. Thus, it can be concluded that the geriatric population is rising faster than younger age groups.

Japan, Germany, Italy, and Portugal are among the nations with the largest population of elderly in the world. As older people are more prone to degenerative disorders, the increasing geriatric population in these countries is anticipated to contribute to the rising demand for drugs for wet AMD treatment, thus driving the wet age-related macular degeneration market during the forecast period.

Therefore, the surging geriatric population across the world is pushing the demand for drugs for treating wet AMD, resulting in the growth of the market.
