Ophthalmic eye drops market will expand consistently to surpass a valuation of US$ 15 Bn by 2021

Increasing number of post-operative eye infections, emergence of new pathogens and poor eye hygiene practices are increasing the prevalence of eye infections worldwide. With the incidence unlikely to reduce anytime soon, Future Market Insights (FMI) in a study has reported the demand for ophthalmic eye drops to rise at above 5% CAGR between 2021 and 2031.

The National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey indicated that Americans made more than 4 million visits to ambulatory physicians for bacterial conjunctivitis in 2005. Approximately 70% of patients with acute conjunctivitis present to primary and urgent care providers, which accounts for 1% of all primary care office visits. Adenoviruses account for 65 to 90% of cases of viral conjunctivitis.

The soaring cases of eye infections have been driving ophthalmic eye drops sales. While the report presents positive outlook for growth, ongoing restrictions amid COVID-19 outbreak might hamper sales.

COVID-19 pandemic is expected to negatively impact the ophthalmic eye drops market. Significant reduction in physician office visits and subsequent decline in the number of prescriptions and OTC eye drop purchases are expected to hamper the market growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Speedy vaccination programs against COVID are expected to enable market recovery in the coming 1-2 years.
