The global ophthalmic drugs market size is forecasted to grow USD 45 billion by 2026 and USD 34.93 billion in 2021, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2021 to 2026.
Ophthalmic drugs are used for the treatment of various eye disorders like cataracts, glaucoma, etc.
Ophthalmic drugs treat various eye disorders such as cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, myopic choroidal, and many more diseases. Glaucoma is the second most leading reason in the world which is causing blindness. According to the stats published by the World Health Organization (WHO), in India, around 12 million had Glaucoma, of which 1.2 million turned blind cause of this disease.
MARKET DRIVERS:
The growing aging population, increasing the occurrence rate of eye-related disorders, and the rising burden of diabetes are primarily driving the global ophthalmic drugs market growth.
The older people population across the world is significantly growing. As per the stats of the United Nations, the people of 65 years or more aged is estimated to reach 1.5 billion by 2050. It is a known fact that the aged population is much likely to diagnose with eye-related disorders, which is expected to support the global ophthalmic drugs market actively. The number of patients with age-related macular degeneration is escalated to rise to 288 million by 2040.
The growing patient population in developed and developing countries and the increasing healthcare spending on eye-related disorders further propel market growth. Approximately 7.32 million in the United States is projected to have primary open-angle glaucoma from 3.15 million in 2015. A growing number of people suffering from glaucoma across the globe is driving the market. Nearly 90% of glaucoma cases remain undiagnosed in the country. Many vital players for manufacturing essential drugs and formulations are considered to influence the ophthalmic drugs market share.
MARKET RESTRAINTS:
Lack of awareness, inadequate insurance coverage, long procedural process, the lengthy approval process for ophthalmic drugs, and disturbance of the supply chain of ophthalmology drugs hamper the ophthalmic drugs market. In addition, risks and side effects associated with ophthalmic drugs, such as the feeling of itching in the eyes and allergy reactions, limit the market's demand to a small extent.
Impact of COVID-19 on the global ophthalmic drugs market:
COVID-19 pandemic is caused by SARS-CoV-2, which has seriously affected every sector in unprecedented ways. World Health Organization (WHO) alerted all the countries as COVID 19 is an emerging public health issue. Since COVID 19, the supply chain and manufacturing units were disrupted due to strict lockdown restrictions. Telehealth played an important role in these tough times. As doctors are frontline warriors in the fight against COVID-19, they decided to provide online consultancies to control the spread of novel coronavirus. Healthcare providers promoted quality health care services for the COVID 19 patients who are quarantined at home. Tele-ophthalmology has played a significant role in providing proper treatment procedures for patients who require emergency care since the beginning of the pandemic. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that ophthalmology drugs are scarce, such as Cospot drops, Bacitracin Ophthalmic ointment, etc. During the pandemic, the shortage was cleared in recent times. With the introduction of the vaccine and the rising number of people getting vaccinated, the number of new COVID-19 has started decreasing and opened growth scope for the market.

This market research report on the global ophthalmic drugs market has been segmented and sub-segmented based on the therapeutic class, distribution channel, product type, disease indications, technology, dosage form, end-user, and region.
Ophthalmic Drugs Market – By Therapeutic Class:
Based on the therapeutic class, the Anti-VEGF agent segment is estimated to account for a significant share in the global market during the forecast period. Factors such as high acquisition rate, a considerable number of crucial payers, a frequent increase of age-related macular degeneration, and the impending launch of many pipeline candidates, which works of VEGF inhibition principle, are primarily accelerating this segment in the market.
Ophthalmic Drugs Market – By Product Type:
Based on the product type, the prescription drugs segment is expected to have the largest share in the ophthalmic drugs market.
The OTC product type segment is witnessed to have a robust growth rate due to loss of patent exclusivities of significant drugs and a substantial increase in generic perforation of ophthalmic drugs. In addition, the low cost of these drugs makes it more affordable for a vast patient base in low and middle economic countries to bolster the segment growth globally.
Ophthalmic Drugs Market – By Distribution Channel:
The independent pharmacies and drug stores segment accounted for the largest share based on the distribution channel, with 63.0% of the total share in 2020.
Ophthalmic Drugs Market – By Disease Indications:
Based on disease indications, the Retinal disorders segment captured the largest market share; however, glaucoma is anticipated to grow with the highest CAGR in the forecast period. Classification by therapeutic class entails Anti-inflammatory Drugs, Anti-infective Drugs, Anti-glaucoma Drugs, Anti-allergy Drugs, Anti-VEGF Agents, etc.
Ophthalmic Drugs Market – By Dosage Form:
Based on the dosage form, the Liquid Ophthalmic drug market sub-category is expected to retain its lead in the forecast period. It is predicted to grow with the highest CAGR in the forecast period. Increasing R&D for new drug delivery approaches that involve nanoparticles, dangerous, and dendrimers are pushing the segment.
Ophthalmic Drugs Market – By Technology:
The biologics segment is expected to have the largest share in the ophthalmic drugs market based on technology.
Ophthalmic Drugs Market – By Region:
North America captures the largest market share due to higher market penetration by the U.S. North America is expected to dominate the ophthalmic drugs market globally in 2019. The ophthalmic drug market in North America is driven by the high occurrence rate of the patient population, escalating the frequency of eye diseases, and critical players' existence. As a result, the United States market is leading the ophthalmic drugs market in North America.
Europe comes a close second. However, it is likely to undergo sluggish growth until 2025. France is the leader in the European market.
The Asia Pacific is the fastest growing market and will continue its growth streak until 2025. This APAC region growth is attributed to the improved healthcare infrastructure and a growing substantial patient population suffering from eye-related problems. Development of breakthrough medicines for the treatment of eye disorders
Latin America will thrive in the forecast period, and so will MEA. The ophthalmic drug market in the Latin America region is considered to have stable and constant growth in the global 2019. The growth owes to the growing perforation of health insurance in the country is likely to play an essential role. On the other hand, the Middle East & Africa for the ophthalmic drugs market is expected to have the least minimal share in the coming years.
