The global ophthalmic drugs market is projected to grow at a significant CAGR of around 5% during the forecast period. The factors that are contributing to the growth of the market includes the increasing incidences of eye related disorders such as infections, diabetic retinopathy and others. The incidence and prevalence rate of ophthalmic diseases is growing at a significant rate across the globe. According to the WHO in 2019, around 2.2 billion people across the globe suffered from one or the other kind of visual impairment and 80% of these are considered avoidable.
Most of these vision impairments are due to uncorrected refractive errors (123.7 million) and cataract (65.2 million). Some other causes of visual impairment include glaucoma (6.9 million), unaddressed presbyopia (826 million), diabetic retinopathy (3 million), corneal opacity (4.2 million) and trachoma (2 million). Visual impairment may lead to various conditions such as accidents, depression and anxiety disorders hence these must be treated, which increases the demand for ophthalmic drugs and hence drives the market growth.
Rising R&D activities to introduce novel drugs in the market and government initiatives in the healthcare sectors are some other factors driving the growth of the market over the forecast period. However, factors such as low awareness and scarcity of suitable drugs among the population especially in rural areas are likely to hamper the growth of the market.
Segmental Outlook
The global ophthalmic drugs market is segmented on the basis of indication, drug class and type. Based on the indication, the market is segmented as dry eye, eye allergy, glaucoma, eye infection, retinal disorders, uveitis, and others. Based on the drug class, the market is segmented as anti-glaucoma drugs, anti-allergy drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-infective drugs, dry eye drugs, other (nonsteroidal drugs and steroidal drugs).

Dry Eye Disease Indication to Hold the Significant Share in the Market
Amongst the indication segment of the global ophthalmic drugs market, dry eye diseases segment is projected to hold the considerable share in the market. The segmental growth is accredited to the increased dry eye cases among the peoples. One of the primary causes of the dry eye is the exposure to smartphone, laptops and tablet screens. Continuous exposure to such screens causes the dryness in the eyes and reduces the moisture and tears in the eyes which certainly leads to the dry eye diseases. In addition, glaucoma disease is another indication for concern. Glaucoma slowly leads to blindness, and requires long term treatment. Thus, such indications are expected to create scope for the growth of the market during the forecast period.
