The current class of anti-VEGF medications is effective but not long-lasting, hence the focus of players on the development of therapeutics with longer action is growing.
The semisolid segment is expected thave the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The semisolid segment is anticipated twitness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, because of the increasing number of product approvals and releases, such as ointment, suspensions, gels, and others.

Furthermore, rising healthcare spending on eye care and eye health in the region, as well as the availability of acceptable reimbursement for various ophthalmic conditions, encourages the adoption of advanced and novel treatments in the region's important countries. A favourable environment for the research and development of numerous revolutionary pharmaceuticals tcure ophthalmic illnesses, as well as the increasing approval of new drugs, are some other factors contributing tthe market's growth.
Region with highest CAGR:
Europe is projected thave the highest CAGR over the forecast period. Increasing biologics and biosimilar launches for the treatment of various eye disorders, increased emphasis on effective ocular condition management, and expanding attempts by market leading players texpand their geographical footprint. The introduction of new products, among other things, is one of the few aspects substantially contributing tmarket growth. Furthermore, the government's increased investments and advancements in healthcare infrastructure facilities are boosting the market.
