The COVID-19 pandemic is anticipated to have a detrimental effect on the market for ophthalmic eye drops. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there will likely be a significant loss in doctor visits, which will lead to a decrease in prescriptions and OTC eye drop purchases. Rapid COVID immunisation campaigns are anticipated to facilitate market recovery in the next one to two years.
The prevalence of eye infections is rising globally as a result of an increased number of post-operative eye infections, the advent of novel pathogens, and inadequate eye hygiene habits. According to a study by Future Market Insights (FMI), the demand for ophthalmic eye drops will increase at a rate over 5% CAGR between 2021 and 2031, despite the likelihood that the incidence would decline soon.
The National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey indicated that Americans made more than 4 million visits to ambulatory physicians for bacterial conjunctivitis in 2005. Approximately 70% of patients with acute conjunctivitis present to primary and urgent care providers, which accounts for 1% of all primary care office visits. Adenoviruses account for 65 to 90% of cases of viral conjunctivitis.
The soaring cases of eye infections have been driving ophthalmic eye drops sales. While the report presents positive outlook for growth, ongoing restrictions amid COVID-19 outbreak might hamper sales.
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 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.
