Middle East and Africa Dry Eye Products Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Product (Artificial Tears, Antibiotic Drops, Hormone Drops, and Others) and Type (OTC Drugs and Prescription Drugs)
The dry eye products market in the MEA is expected to grow from US$ 212.83 million in 2021 to US$ 262.65 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 2.9% from 2021 to 2028.
Dry eye condition is expected to be observed in the majority of the population across the region in the coming years. Many research studies have proven dry eye as a lifestyle disease. Improvements or changes in daily habits such as sleep, diet, and exercise are included in the treatment of dry eyes. Additionally, the stressful life of people across the MEA is likely to increase the incidence of dry eyes, which are expected to propel the demand for dry eye products in the coming years.
The advancement in technology has resulted in increased product development. Various companies are entering the market, which is contributing greatly to drive the dry eye products market growth. Various companies have designed innovative formulae to offer better eye drops for dry eye conditions. The cycle of product development is continuous and is likely to act as a vital growth factor during the forecast period. In 2019, Aldeyra Therapeutics enrolled for the RENEW phase three clinical trial for its reproxalap ophthalmic solution (0.25%) to treat moderate to severe dry eye conditions. Similarly, Novaliq has two products in pipelines, such as NOVO3 (100% perfluorohexyloctane) and Cycl ASol (ophthalmic solution of 0.1% cyclosporine A in Eye Sol).
Some companies are focusing on innovating other forms of products that can treat dry eye conditions. In October 2018, Oyster Point Pharma announced that its nasal spray to treat DED is in a phase three clinical trial. The product is developed from the compound OC–01, which is highly selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (n ACh R) agonist, which targets the parasympathetic nervous system and controls tear film homeostasis partially through the trigeminal nerve. The company is expected to submit a new drug application (NDA) in 2020. Thus, such innovations are expected to contribute significantly to the dry eye market growth in the coming years.
With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. Thus, the dry eye products market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
