Dry Eye Syndrome Treatment Market: Strategic Insights

Dry Eye Syndrome Treatment Market Growth Drivers

1. Increasing Use of Digital Screens and Blue Light Exposure: One of the major factors driving this market is extended screen exposure. With digitalization at workplaces on the rise, along with smartphone, tablet, and computer use, people are exposed to digital screens for longer periods. Almost 60% of office workers in most parts of the world complain of digital eye strain in various studies, which always precedes DES. The blue light emitted from these devices further accentuates symptoms by destabilizing the tear film and increasing oxidative stress on the ocular surface. Recent developments have introduced eye lubricants specifically for digital users, aiming to remedy tear film instability. Besides this, awareness of screen breaks and protection with blue light-blocking eyewear is gaining momentum. With the rising trend of working from home, this demand for DES treatments will increase further, thus offering significant growth opportunities to the manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and eye care products.
2. Aging Population and Rise in Prevalence of Age-Related Ocular Disorders: A very critical driver in the dry eye syndrome treatment market is the rise in the aging population globally. According to the United Nations, by 2050, the number of people aged 65 and over will increase twofold, reaching 1.5 billion. With aging, there is a natural reduction in tear production, thus predisposing the elderly to symptoms of dry eye. Furthermore, with age-related disorders, such as dysfunction of the meibomian glands, which affect the composition of tears, the symptoms of DES worsen. According to the National Eye Institute, about 75% of people over age 60 have some symptoms of dry eye. As such, pharmaceutical companies are also meeting this shifting demographic with new prescription eye drops and other minimally invasive procedures that address DES symptoms. The geriatric population is more likely to present for regular consultations in eye care, thereby increasing the demand for diagnosis and therapeutic solutions. This, therefore, creates a very good avenue of growth for the manufacturers dealing with geriatric-friendly treatments.
3. Increased Prevalence of Autoimmune and Horminal Disorders: Growing prevalence of autoimmune diseases and hormonal disorders is a key factor that drives the demand in the dry eye syndrome treatment market. Other conditions such as SjReport Scope
