The global ophthalmic eye drop market is on track for notable expansion, with an anticipated increase from USD 17,271.8 million in 2024 to approximately USD 25,876.4 million by 2034. The market is projected to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7% over the forecast period.

In 2023, the ophthalmic eye drop market was valued at USD 16,390.6 million and is expected to show a year-over-year growth of 5.4% in 2024. This growth is driven by increasing prevalence of eye conditions, rising awareness of eye health, and advancements in ophthalmic treatments.

The expansion of the ophthalmic eye drop market reflects a broader trend towards enhanced treatment options and greater access to eye care solutions. Innovations in formulations and delivery mechanisms are contributing to market growth, as well as an increasing focus on personalized medicine and patient-centric care.

New eye drop product launches, branded as well as generic, are expected to be hampered in the short term due to disruptions in the supply chain, delayed pipeline research and development, and a shift in the priority of leading healthcare companies to COVID-19 vaccine and treatment developments.

According to the report, institutional sales of ophthalmic eye drops will rise considerably in the coming years. It will account for over half of ophthalmic eye drops sold through the forecast period.

“Increasing prevalence of eye infections, technological advancements, and high risk of infections from the increasing use of contact lens is expected to boost the growth of the Global Ophthalmic Eye Drops Industry.” says Sabyasachi Ghosh (Associate Vice President at Future Market Insights, Inc.).

Each year in the United States, approximately 1 million eye infections occur related primarily to keratitis, a fungal infection of the cornea, and contact lens infections account for estimated direct costs of $175 million. In addition, 40.9 million U.S. adults wear contact lenses, and 99% of 4,269 contact lens wearers reported at least one contact lens–related hygiene behavior associated with an increased risk for eye infection or inflammation. Nearly a million eye infections requiring a trip to the doctor happen each year, many of them related to contact lens use.
