The Global Dry Eye Syndrome Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of around 6.5% during the forecast period of 2023-28, cites MarkNtel Advisors in the recent research report. The global incidence of dry eye syndrome has been a key driver for the increasing demand for these drugs in the market in recent years, and this trend is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. Factors such as a growing geriatric population heightened awareness regarding diagnosis & treatment, and the widespread use of contact lenses & extended screen time have contributed to the market growth. However, some challenges have limited the market expansion, including stringent regulatory procedures for drug approval and the availability of alternative therapies. Consequently, manufacturers have been hesitant to invest in developing new products due to the high costs associated with research & development, clinical trials, and regulatory compliance.
Furthermore, the limited availability of prescribed treatment options has created a growing need to develop new therapies & treatment modalities for this complex ocular condition. This requirement for innovative solutions is presumed to drive the demand for dry eye drugs. Additionally, the pharmaceutical industry's rising investments in developing advanced drugs to treat dry eye syndrome would contribute to the ever-increasing market growth in the coming years.
Simultaneously, it is worth noting that the prevalence of dry eye disease is higher among individuals with other chronic health conditions, such as diabetes & rheumatoid arthritis, which can impact the normal functioning of the eyes. The changes in a patient's blood composition caused by diabetes, for example, can adversely affect tear glands, leading to dry eye syndrome. This further amplifies the need for effective drugs in the market, further states the research report, “Global Dry Eye Syndrome Market Analysis, 2023.”
