The growing geriatric population is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the presence of strong substitutes for treating dry eye syndrome may impede market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The growing geriatric population is notably driving the market growth. Dry eye syndrome occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. It is more prevalent among the geriatric population, and the risk of developing the condition increases with age. Asia is one of the most lucrative regions in the market owing to its rapidly growing geriatric population. However, North America and Europe hold the major shares owing to high investment in the healthcare sector.
Dry eye syndrome has a direct relation with age, as tear production declines with increasing age. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the disease is more prevalent in people aged 50 years and above. Decreased tear production as a result of altered reflex secretion, lacrimal gland dysfunction, inflammatory destruction of lacrimal glands, or diminished corneal sensation may lead to tear deficiency, causing dry eye syndrome. Other factors, such as the use of topical medications also increase the risk of dry eyes. These factors will drive market growth during the forecast period.
Advancements in drug delivery technologies are a key trend in the market. In recent years, there have been significant advancements in drug delivery systems aimed at improving the efficacy and convenience of dry eye syndrome treatments. These advancements have addressed various challenges associated with traditional eye drops formulations, such as low bioavailability, poor patient compliance, and inconsistent dosing.
Lipid-based formulations mimic the composition of natural tears and help stabilize the tear film, reducing tear evaporation. Sustained release drug delivery systems, such as hydrogels, inserts, and punctal plugs, have been developed to provide controlled and extended drug release over an extended period. Nanoparticles and nanomicelles can encapsulate therapeutic agents, protect them from degradation, and enhance their penetration into ocular tissues. Hence, advancements in drug delivery technologies will propel the growth of the dry eye syndrome drugs market during the forecast period.
The presence of strong substitutes for treating dry eye syndrome is challenging market growth. There are many options available for the treatment of dry eyes apart from medications, such as surgical procedures and nutritional supplements. Many patients with dry eyes undergo severe corneal injuries, leading to the loss of vision.
Advanced surgical procedures such as using salivary glands as an alternative for tears have been developed in the market. Minor gland salivary auto transplant is another new surgical technique that has demonstrated effectiveness in studies. Punctual occlusion is another non-therapeutic treatment for dry eye syndrome. These are small bags that seal the tear ducts, keeping the eyes moist. Therefore, the increasing adoption of alternative treatment options will hamper the revenue growth of the dry eye syndrome drugs market during the forecast period.
The market report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.
