The ocular drug delivery system market is set to surpass USD 16,159.9 million in 2023, according to a recent report by Future Market Insights. This growth is driven by an increasing prevalence of ophthalmic diseases and a rising emphasis on advanced treatment options, which are fueling demand for innovative ocular drug delivery systems.

The market is forecasted to grow at a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9% from 2023 to 2033. By the end of this forecast period, the market is expected to reach an impressive USD 31,410.2 million.

A significant factor contributing to this growth is the high demand for particulate drug delivery systems, which are anticipated to dominate the market, accounting for over 70% of global sales in 2023. These systems are favored for their effectiveness in delivering targeted therapies to the ocular region.

To overcome the ocular drug delivery barriers and improve ocular bioavailability, various conventional and novel drug delivery systems have been developed such as ointments, emulsions, suspensions, aqueous gels, Nano micelles, liposomes, and in situ thermosensitive gels for the earlier mentioned ocular diseases.

Glaucoma is the second-leading cause of blindness worldwide, accounting for up to 8% of total blindness. In India, glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness with at least 12 million people affected and nearly 1.2 million people blind from the disease. More than 90 percent of glaucoma cases remain undiagnosed in the community.

Thus the high incidence of ophthalmic diseases, resulting in the rise significant patient population, is driving the global ocular drug delivery systems market.

The ocular drug has to pass the water-fat-water membranous structure of the cornea and this changing environment presents a significant barrier. That is why, for almost four decades, researchers have been involved in developing intraocular sustained-release drug delivery platforms.

Owing to the rigorous research studies, approvals for new ocular drug delivery techniques are currently recorded globally. This has helped the market to gain momentum over the last few years.

“Increasing prevalence of eye infections, innovation in drug delivery technologies, and rising clinical trials are creating lucrative growth opportunities for ocular drug delivery system sales,” says Sabyasachi Ghosh (Associate Vice President at Future Market Insights, Inc.).

Increase in Funding for Research Activities Offers Growth Opportunities

Leading manufacturers in the Global Ocular Drug Delivery System Industry are strengthening their market position through collaboration with various other organizations. Governments in developed and developing countries are actively taking initiatives to encourage research of pharmaceutical products.

For instance, In April 2017, Santen Pharmaceuticals announced a strategic investment in Regenerative Patch Technologies LLC, a U.S.-based company engaged in the development of ophthalmic therapies.

Pharmaceutical giants are expected to benefit from the globalization of labor forces, that is, the employment of skilled local labor at cheaper rates to derive larger cost savings. Furthermore, this will create room for research and development (R&D) investments.

As per data from EFPIA and PhRMA, annual pharmaceutical (R&D) expenditures increased at 2.5% p.a. in Europe as compared to 3.3% p.a. in the U.S. over the latest measurable period 2016-2020. This will also create opportunities for the expansion of the market.
