Key Market Trends

Corticosteroid Drugs is Expected to Grow with a Decent CAGR in the Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Segment

Corticosteroids are effective anti-inflammatory drugs, widely available, that rapidly relieve the symptoms and signs of moderate and severe dry eye. These drugs are highly useful in short term efficacy and thus prescribed mostly for acute cases of dry eye diseases. However, with the long term usage of these drugs, there are major side effects, such as intraocular pressure elevation and cataract progression. Two of the major companies established in this segment are Bausch Health and Allergan. Often, these companies, as well as doctors, recommend corticosteroid along with antibiotic therapy.

Some of the common interventions include dietary omega-3 essential fatty acids, such as fish oils or flaxseed oil; or the use of lipid-based artificial tears to augment the deficient lipid layer; and/or a short course of a topical ester-based corticosteroid, in order to address the inflammatory component of the dry eye. Over the forecast period, with the severity of disease at the chronic level of the disease, the corticosteroids are most extensively used. Their share is thus considered to be largest, growing at a steady CAGR over the forecast period.

Asia Pacific is expected to grow with High CAGR and Expected to do Same in the Forecast Period

Geographically, the North American region holds a major share, whereas the Asia-Pacific region is estimated to be the fastest growing. Several factors, such as hospital infrastructure, procuring new technology devices for diagnosis of diseases, early market approval of the product, a large number of ophthalmic surgeries, early awareness in the society, drive the market in the North American region. In Asia, a large number of generic production, good distribution of local and international players, and the fast economic growth of the country are factors driving the growth of the studied market.
