The global retinal disease therapeutics market is fragmented in nature. The prominent players operating in the market are constantly adopting various growth strategies to stay afloat in the market. Product launches, innovations, mergers, and acquisitions, collaborations and partnerships, and intensive R&D are some of the growth strategies that are adopted by these key players to thrive in the competitive market. For instance, in October 2018, the University of Florida Research Foundation and the University of Pennsylvania reached an agreement with Ophthotech Corporation (IVERIC bio) to develop and market an adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy product for the treatment of Best Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy (BVMD). The key market players are also constantly focused on R&D to supply industries with the most efficient and cost-effective and customized solutions for students. For instance, in May 2019, the FDA approved REGENERON's Eylea (aflibercept) injectable to treat all phases of diabetic retinopathy, lowering the risk of blindness in patients.
