COVID-19 Impact on Global Conjunctivitis Treatment Market: By Disease Type (Allergic Conjunctivitis, Bacterial Conjunctivitis and Viral Conjunctivitis); By End User (Ointment, Drugs and Drops) and Region –Analysis of Market Size, Share and Trends for 2014 – 2020 and Forecasts to 2030

Product Overview

Conjunctivitis is an infectious eye infection in which bacteria like Staphylococci, Gonococci, Chlamydia, and Streptococci invade the conjunctiva of either or both eyes. The infection caused by the species Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoea is extremely severe. However, several medicines tend to treat these problems, making sure that the signs of infection are clearer quickly. Currently, there are many antibiotics used for the procedure, including Besivance, Zymaxid, Maxitrol, and AzaSite. These antibiotics can be given through oral, transdermal, and otic agents. While most bacterial conjunctivitis is self-limiting, it is suggested that topical antibiotics cut the length of the disease and prevent infection from spreading. Generally, a wide variety of antibiotics is used as a primary treatment choice for bacterial conjunctivitis. It is proposed that topical antibiotics deliver the maximum dose of the drug straight to the site of the infection, rather than what is normally done by oral and other paths. As a result, the wide range of single-drug antibiotics is enhanced.

Market Highlights

Global Conjunctivitis Treatment Market size was registered at USD 3.9 billion in 2020 and is estimated to reach USD XX billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.80% from 2020 to 2030. The global demand for treating conjunctivitis is also driven by increasing air pollution in major cities across the globe. This is due to the vulnerability of the conjunctive to environmental particles, along with the direct interaction of the conjunctiva with the external environment. The increase in air pollution thus propels the global demand for treating conjunctivitis. New treatment options for conjunctivitis are being created by pharmaceutical firms where its efficacy in the treatment of ocular itching is being tested. All this research is funded by large pharmaceutical firms. These factors are boosting the growth of the global market for treating conjunctivitis.

Global Conjunctivitis Treatment Market: Segments

Conjunctivitis Treatment Market is segmented based on disease type, formulation type, and region.

By Disease Type (in %), Conjunctivitis Treatment Market, 2020

The allergic conjunctivitis segment is anticipated to register XX% of the market share during the forecasted period.

By disease type, the market can be segmented into allergic conjunctivitis, bacterial conjunctivitis, and viral conjunctivitis. Allergic conjunctivitis is normal and causes sudden swelling and ocular itching in the eyelids. Allergic conjunctivitis is more likely to occur in persons who have allergies. Disease diagnosis is generally performed by yourself. However, if anyone is unable to diagnose the condition, such tests are conducted by the doctor to recognize the condition and its cause. Treatment for acute conjunctivitis requires oral or over-the-counter (OTC) medications that minimize histamine release. Also, there are readily available on the market anti-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory eye drops which are found to offer relief in acute conjunctivitis. This segment is, therefore, expected to show steady growth.

By Formulation Type (in %), Conjunctivitis Treatment Market, 2019
