This report concludes with company profiles section that highlights major information about the key players engaged in ophthalmic drugs market.

The ophthalmic drug industry can be classified into prescription ophthalmic drugs and over the counter (OTC) drugs. OTC drugs are widely adopted due to the large number of glaucoma patients and increasing number of geriatric patients globally, creating a significant demand in the OTC drugs market. However, various side effects associated with the uptake of OTC medications would hinder the market growth for the OTC market segment. Prescription ophthalmic drugs segment is anticipated to grow at highest CAGR during the forecast period. The prime factor that would determine the growth of prescription drugs segment include the increasing number of patients suffering from various new retinal disorders and complicated cases of glaucoma and cataract. Moreover, increasing rate of success for newly launched drugs which can only be bought by prescriptions would further assist the market growth. Ophthalmic steroids need prescription to be given to the patient, as these products are specifically designed to be applied in eyes. These products contain corticosteroids and are available as eye drops, gels, ointments and other forms of ocular applications. Some of FDA approved prescription ophthalmic drugs include Acular, Omidria, Betaxon, Zaditor, and Zymaxid.

According to World Health Organization (WHO), currently more than 300 million people are affected by visual impairments and blindness, and this figure is expected to grow by 10% in the coming years (till 2020). About 90% of the worlds visually impaired reside in low-income group. And 82% of people living with blindness are aged 50 and above. Worldwide, uncorrected refractive errors are the main cause of moderate and severe visual impairment and cataracts, which is the leading cause of blindness in middle- and low-income countries. On the basis of therapeutic, the global ophthalmic drugs are segmented into glaucoma ophthalmic drugs, retinal disorder ophthalmic drugs, dry eye ophthalmic drugs and allergic conjunctivitis. Glaucoma ophthalmic drugs held the largest share in global ophthalmic drugs market. It is estimated that over three million Americans are suffering from glaucoma, being the leading cause of blindness in people of 60 years of age. Early detection and treatment with the help of glaucoma eye drops and glaucoma surgery or both can help retain vision. Treatment can involve glaucoma surgery, lasers or medication, depending on the severity. The retinal disorder ophthalmic drug is anticipated to grow at highest CAGR due higher prevalence rate among people in the world. Thus the treatment for retinal disorders has the highest growth.

The geographical segmentation of the global ophthalmic drugs market comprises North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Middle East and Africa. In the base year 2020, North America accounted for the largest market in the ophthalmic drugs market due to the rising number of patient population suffering from ocular diseases in the region. The prevalence of blindness and vision impairment and other eye related disorders is expected to increase rapidly among all age group, gender and racial group in North America. It has been estimated that age related macular degeneration is expected to double by 2050, from 2.1 million to 3.7 million. However, factors such as high market saturation, drying pipelines and increasing competition are some of the factors hampering the market potential of North American ophthalmic drug market. Europe is the second largest market for ophthalmic drugs. Better regulatory policies have led to increased trust in the drugs market which is the key factor driving the growth in the Europe market. Asia Pacific ophthalmic drug market holds high growth potential in near future due to factors such as rising geriatric population, rising investments in healthcare infrastructure and increasing prevalence of ocular diseases, which includes disorders of both the cornea and the retina.
