Top 5 Companies Revolutionising the Global Dry Eye Syndrome Market

Akorn, Incorporated., AbbVie, Auven Therapeutics, Nicox S.A., and Novartis AG, among others, are significant players in the global dry eye syndrome market.

The global dry eye syndrome market is expected to grow at a CAGR of about 6.8% in the forecast period of 2022-2027. As per the analysis by Expert Market Research, the market is expected to be driven by the growing geriatric population.

Dry eye syndrome, variously known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), refers to a condition in which the eye surface of an individual is dehydrated or lacks lubrication. It is a common illness that can affect almost everyone. Some symptoms of dry eye syndrome include nausea and burning sensations, watery eyes, swelling, redness, fatigue, itchiness, and photophobia. Dry eye illness may be triggered by a variety of factors, including menopause, excessive computer usage, LASIK eye surgery, allergies, smoking, obesity, and hormone replacement treatment, among others.

The market is growing on account of the increasing prevalence of dry eye syndrome across the globe. The surging incidences of dry eye syndrome in the global ageing population owing to the weakening tear gland are expected to aid the market growth. Moreover, the increasing cases of illnesses, including vitamin A deficiency, lupus, thyroid disease, and rheumatoid arthritis, among others, are also inducing dry-eye syndrome, which is likely to support the dry eye syndrome treatment market in the forecast period.

As diabetes can impair eye function, the frequency of dry eye syndrome is increasing due to the growing diabetic population. With the rising awareness regarding the complications related to dry eye syndrome, including damage to the eye surface, eye infections, and decreased quality of life, the demand for optimal treatment of dry eye syndrome is anticipated to grow. In addition, the market is likely to be bolstered by the growing exposure to wind, smoke, and dry climates amid the rapid climate change, which is boosting the prevalence of dry eye syndrome.
