Global Superficial Punctate Keratitis Market - 2023-2030

Global Superficial Punctate Keratitis Market reached US$ XX million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ XX million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period 2023-2030.

Superficial punctate keratitis is an eye disorder caused by the death of small groups of cells on the surface of the cornea. It is usually caused by infection by bacteria, viruses, strong spillage of chemicals in the eye, prolonged usage of contact lenses, and others.

In superficial punctate keratitis, the eyes are usually painful, watery, sensitive to bright light, and bloodshot, and vision may be slightly blurred. Also, there will be a burning, gritty feeling or a feeling as if a foreign object is trapped in the eye.

Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

Increase in research and developmental activities

Factors such as an increase in the demand for healthcare, technological advancements, increasing pharma production, and the rising prevalence of contagious diseases are expected to drive the market growth. The incidence of the disease is rising due to the poor sanitary conditions in the developing and underdeveloped nations.

The increase in the research and developmental activities in developing new drugs for treating superficial punctate keratitis is expected to drive the market growth in the forecast period. The increase in the number of drug options helps the individuals suffering from the disease which in return increases the market growth.

Restraint

Stringent regulations associated with the approvals

The stringent regulations, high costs of research and development, and patent expirations. The lack of reimbursement policies for the treatment is expected to hinder market growth.

Segment Analysis

The global superficial punctate keratitis market is segmented based on drugs, route of administration, distribution channel and region.

Topical Natamycin (5%) segment accounted for 38.4% of the market share

Natamycin is expected to hold a significant position in the market share due to its efficiency in treating the disease. Topical natamycin is the first-line therapy for superficial mycosis. Natamycin is a tetraene polyene that has been regarded as the most important agent in the management of fungal keratitis. In superficial punctate keratitis, the eyes are usually painful, watery, sensitive to bright light, and bloodshot, and vision may be slightly blurred.

Natamycin is considered a primary choice for filamentous fungal infections but is characterized by poor corneal penetration due to its high molecular weight and poor solubility and is mostly effective in cases of superficial keratitis. Thus, the above factors are expected to hold the segment in the dominant position.

Geographical Analysis

North America is expected to hold a significant position in the global superficial punctate keratitis market share

North American region accounted for the largest market share due to the increased prevalence of the disease, and increased health campaigns in the region to bring awareness among individuals regarding the spread of the disease and the presence of major players in introducing the medications that prevent the disease.

The increase in the number of individuals using contact lenses in the region is also expected to increase the prevalence of the disease. This is the most common problem associated with contact lens wearing and may occur as a result of dry eye. It is then usually seen in the lower half of the cornea as little scattered fluorescein staining dots. Thus, the above factors are driving the market growth in the region.
