Ongoing Research and Growing Pipeline for Dry Eye Products Bolster Middle East & Africa Dry Eye Products Market
The dry eye condition is expected to be seen in the majority of the population across the world in the coming years. Many research studies have proven dry eye as a life-style disease. Improvements or changes in daily habits such as sleep, diet, and exercise are included in the treatment of dry eyes. Additionally, the stressful life among people across the world is likely to increase the incidences of dry eyes. Therefore, the rising incidences of dry eyes are expected to propel the demand for dry eye products in the coming years.
The advancement in technology has resulted in increased product development. Various companies are entering the market, which is contributing greatly to enhance market growth. Various companies have designed various innovative formulae to offer better eye drops for dry eye conditions. The cycle of product development is continuous and is likely to act as a vital growth factor during the forecast period. For instance, in 2019, Aldeyra Therapeutics had enrolled for the RENEW phase three clinical trial for its reproxalap ophthalmic solution (0.25%) to treat moderate to severe dry eye conditions. Similarly, Novaliq has two products in pipelines, such as NOVO3 (100% perfluorohexyloctane) and CyclASol (ophthalmic solution of 0.1% cyclosporine A in EyeSol).
Some companies are focusing on innovating other forms of products that can treat dry eye conditions. For instance, in October 2018, Oyster Point Pharma has a nasal spray which is in phase three clinical trial for the treatment of DED. The product is developed from the compound OC–01, which is highly selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist, which targets the parasympathetic nervous system and controls tear film homeostasis partially through the trigeminal nerve. The company is expected to submit a new drug application (NDA) in 2020. Thus, such innovations are likely to act as trending factors and are expected to contribute significantly to the market growth in the coming years.
