Conjunctivitis market scope
Conjunctivitis may occur due to allergies and involves the infection of the eye in which the conjunctiva is infected. The patent expiries of few drugs such as Lotemax, Patanol, Pataday, and Lastacaft along with the expected entry of few other drugs into the market during the forecast period are envisaged to result in this market’s slow growth rate of approximately 2% by 2019.
Conjunctivitis market driver
The unmet need for viral conjunctivitis is the key driver for the growth of this market. Since there are no approved drugs for the treatment of viral conjunctivitis, many companies and researchers are now developing drugs that are in the clinical stage of development. These drugs are expected to aid in the treatment of viral conjunctivitis and their effectiveness will, in turn, promote growth in this market in the next four years.
Conjunctivitis market growth: Competitive landscape and key vendors
This market is growing at a moderate pace owing to the loss of patent exclusivities and the augmented use of generics in the market. Since there is no effective treatment option for conjunctivitis, the companies that can effectively treat and cure this disease are expected to gain a competitive edge over their peers during the forecast period.
