Verteporfin is a medication used to treat abnormal blood vessel formation in the eye. It is injected into the body to treat the ocular problems. It is a benzoporphyrin derivative majorly used in photo dynamic therapy for treatment the abnormal blood vessels in the eye conditions such as wet macular degeneration. Photo dynamic therapy is a treatment that combines light energy with the drug which destroys the cancerous cells. Verteporfin is administered intravenously before 15-20 minutes of photo dynamic treatment. It rapidly accumulates in these abnormal blood vessels in the eye and when stimulated with non-thermal laser light produces highly reactive single oxygen molecules and other oxygen molecules resulting in blockage of abnormal blood vessels.

Global Verteporfin Market: Drivers
The increasing use of verteporfin in various applications of ophthalmology such as pathologic myopia, macular degeneration, and ocular histoplasmosis is fostering growth of verteporfin market. Additionally, pharmaceutical companies are focusing on new products launches for ophthalmology is again expected to augment market growth. For instance, in 2019, CIBA Corp, an eye care unit of Novartis AG and QLt. Inc., received authorization for marketing visundyne (verteporfin) therapy for choroidal neovascularization from the European Medicine Evaluation Agency.

Global Verteporfin Market: COVID-19 Impact Analysis
According to the Asia Pacific Journal of ophthalmology, COVID-19 has negatively impacted ophthalmologic procedures due to implementation of social distancing measures by governments across the globe. The pandemic has affected general procedures carried out during ophthalmic treatment to prevent or curb the spread of COVID-19. According to U.S National Library Medicine’s report of 2019, patients coming in contact with ophthalmic equipment can increase the risk of infection through aerosolized particles.
Global Verteporfin Market: Restraints
According to the National Library of Medicine, photo dynamic treatment with verteporfin is costlier than pegaptinib for treatment of sub-foveal wet macular degeneration in elderly patients. The cost of pegatanib is US$ 49,052 compared to cost of photo dynamic treatment with verteporfin which is US$ 59,039 in U.S. Moreover, verteporfin is given intravenously before treatment which can cause infection at site of injection such as irritation, redness of skin etc. All these factors are expected to hinder market growth.
