Meibomian Gland Dysfunction Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034

The 7 major meibomian gland dysfunction markets reached a value of US$ 2.1 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the 7MM to reach US$ 4.5 Billion by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.07% during 2024-2034.

The meibomian gland dysfunction market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Meibomian Gland Dysfunction Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) refers to a set of diseases that can be either congenital or acquired and are connected by functional deviations of the meibomian glands. This condition develops when one of the several dozen small glands in the eyelids that contribute to the production of the oil layer in tears has a problem. The ailment can cause a change in the composition of the tear film, ocular surface disease, discomfort in the eyes and eyelids, and evaporative dry eye. Based on gland secretion, MGD can be classified as low or high delivery. There are no specific indications in the early stages, but as the condition progresses, the patients may experience less or poor-quality oil in the tear film, irritated, inflamed, and itchy eyelids, a feeling of sand or dust in the eye, stickiness or crusting, moments of blurred vision, burning sensations, etc. The diagnosis of this ailment is made by a review of underlying symptoms, medical history, and an initial clinical examination. Various other common procedures to confirm a diagnosis include Schirmer's test, mass spectrometry, interferometry, etc.

The rising cases of eye diseases, which cause damage and inflammation to the eyelids and cornea, are primarily driving the meibomian gland dysfunction market. Additionally, the increasing prevalence of various risk factors, such as hormonal changes, allergies, skin conditions, use of eye makeup, contact lens wear, etc., are further propelling the market growth. Moreover, the widespread adoption of effective drugs, including antibiotics, steroids, omega-3 fatty acid supplements, etc., to help reduce indications associated with the ailment is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the rising usage of non-pharmacological interventions, such as warm compresses and massage therapy, since they can ease irritation and open clogged oil glands, is also augmenting the market growth. Furthermore, the escalating demand for non-contact meibography, owing to its numerous advantages over traditional meibography, including lesser time consumption, reduced risk of infection, and minimum patient discomfort, is creating a positive outlook for the market. Besides this, the increasing utilization of vector thermal pulsation system that delivers regulated amounts of pressure and heat to clear blockages in the meibomian glands for disease management is expected to drive the meibomian gland dysfunction market during the forecast period.
