The global OTC artificial tears market is majorly driven by rise in geriatric population; an alarming increase in the prevalence of dry eye syndrome (DES); and a rise in the number of eye surgeries which increases the demand for artificial tear drops for post-surgery management. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2021, approximately 2.2 billion population in the world was reported to be diagnosed with vision impairment. As per the data published in BioMed Central (BMC) Ophthalmology, in 2020, a total of 90% population across the globe suffered from dry eye syndrome.
Moreover, the geriatric population is more vulnerable to dry eye syndrome due to inadequate tear production from lacrimal gland, altered reflex secretion or inflammatory destruction of the lacrimal glands. For instance, as per the data published by the Journal of the United Nations, 962 million population were present above the age of 60 years in 2017 which is expected to get double to nearly 2.1 billion by the year of 2050. Thus, the rise in the geriatric population and increase in prevalence of dry eye syndrome are expected to propel the demand for OTC artificial tears, which, in turn, augments the market growth. Furthermore, the increase in number of eye surgeries, upsurge the need of artificial tear drops for the post-surgical management.
Furthermore, OTC artificial tears play an important role in the global healthcare sector. Availability of different dosage forms of OTC artificial tears such as drops, ointment, emulsion, spray solution, and gel is used for providing relief from irritation, burning, and discomfort which is caused due to dry eye syndrome. Moreover, rise in investment and activities in R&D by various healthcare sectors for the development of new OTC artificial tears, such as REFRESH DIGITAL lubricant eye drop (AbbVie Inc.), drive the growth of the global market. Upsurge in technological advancement and rise in the number of people wearing contact lens, also increases the demand for OTC artificial tear and propel the growth of the market. In addition, change in the lifestyle habit such as prolong exposure to digital display and the surge in number of smartphone addicts, causes dry eye syndrome that increase the usage of artificial tears and boosts the market growth.
