Segment Insights

Anti-allergic Segment Dominated by Drug Class, in the Conjunctivitis Treatment Market

The anti-allergic segment held the largest share of the conjunctivitis treatment market in 2024, with a 41.25% market share attributed to the rising global prevalence of allergic conjunctivitis because of the increased exposure to allergens such as pollen, dust, and pollution. This sector was boosted by higher seasonal allergies, especially in urban and developed areas. Over-the-counter antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, and dual-action eye drops offer more options to allergic patients and make treatment at the point-of-care possible.

By Formulation Type, the Drops Segment is Expected to Lead the Conjunctivitis Treatment Market in 2024

The drops segment dominated the market share due to its efficiency, user-friendliness, and direct application on the affected area in the conjunctivitis treatment market in 2024, with a 68.25%. Eyedrops are the preferred presentation for all types of conjunctivitis (allergic, bacterial, or viral) — they’re fast acting and they limit systemic effects. They are also more accessible, as prescription or over-the-counter formulations may be purchased.

Based on Route of Administration, the Topical Segment Occupies the Leading Position in the Conjunctivitis Treatment Market

The topical segment accounted for the largest market share of the conjunctivitis treatment market in 2024, with a 76.4%, owing to its advantage of offering medication at the site of infection or inflammation, which rapidly provides a therapeutic effect. The most commonly used topical medications for this condition are eye drops or ointment, which have fewer systemic side effects than oral medications and a more predictable treatment.

North America to Lead, Asia Pacific to Record Fastest Growth in Regional Conjunctivitis Treatment Market

North America dominated the global conjunctivitis treatment market by capturing a market share of 46.3% in 2024 due to the robust healthcare infrastructure, easy availability of prescription as well as over-the-counter drugs, and a substantial presence of pharmaceutical companies. A high level of awareness of ocular health, combined with an expanding age group, and a high incidence of allergic conjunctivitis due to factors in the environment, also boost demand.

Asia Pacific is anticipated to record the highest growth in the forecast period, attributed to a surge in urbanization, pollution levels, and patient population. Such environmental conditions and lack of hygiene are believed to have led to the increased prevalence of allergic and bacterial conjunctivitis in countries such as China, India, and Japan. The widening availability of health care, efforts by governments, and growing attention to eye health mean that diagnoses are being made faster and treatment is being provided faster.
