Global Artificial Tears Market Overview

Artificial tears work as lubricants eye drops that are used for treating the irritation and dryness related with the deficiency in tear production in dry eyes or kerato conjunctivitis sicca. Artificial tears are used for moistening contact lenses and at the time of eye checkups and examinations. This product is employed for the aim of treating problems caused because of dryness and irritation. These artificial tears are made by using salts, water, and polymers. However, these artificial tears don't inherit proteins which are present in real tears. It is often purchased in any pharmacy or medical unit. For instance, the world population living in the area is projected to increase from 55% in 2018 to 68% in 2050. This is further supported by rising prevalence of dry eye disease coupled with rising demand of eye drops. According to the study published in the American Journal of Opthalmology, the annual prevalence of dry eye disease increased from 0.8% to 3.0% from 2005 to 2012.

The Artificial Tears Market accounted for US$ XX billion in 2020 and is estimated to be US$ XX billion by 2029 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of XX.

Impact of Covid-19 pandemic on market

With the outbreak of the COVID-19, various businesses are at the forefront to combat this pandemic. The pandemic has hindered the industrial supply chain and also disrupted the product segment. Government across the countries has imposed strict lockdown to limit the spread of disease. The pandemic has profoundly changed our everyday lives. During lockdown, opportunities for venturing outside were significantly limited; in Italy, people weren’t even allowed to go outside for walks or exercise, and in other countries there were strict time limits imposed. This has been a real problem for patients with dry eye disease, as low humidity and restricted airflow indoors can induce or exacerbate the condition. This report will quantify the impact of pandemic on artificial tears market.

Global Artificial Tears Market Dynamics

One of the major drivers of the artificial tears market is the growing prevalence of dry eye syndrome (DES) owing to several factors such as prolonged exposure to digital displays, rising pollution levels, protein and vitamin deficiencies, and climatic changes. The growing geriatric population and rising number of eye surgeries that demands the use of artificial tears for post-surgery management are also boosting the market growth.

Increasing use of contact lenses
