DRY EYE DISEASE MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2025-2032)

The global dry eye disease market is estimated to be valued at USD 7.99 Bn in 2025 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.0% during the forecast period (2025-2032). Dry eye disease, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability with potential damage to the interpalpebral ocular surface. It is accompanied by increased osmolarity of the tear film and inflammation of the ocular surface. Dry eye disease is a growing problem worldwide due to aging populations and greater use of digital devices, leading to decreased blink rates and more time spent with eyes open. Although often thought of as a mild, nuisance disease, dry eye can negatively impact quality of life and productivity.

Market Dynamics

The global dry eye disease market is driven by the rising geriatric population globally which is majorly affected by dry eye disease due to age-related decreasing tear production. Furthermore, increasing usage of digital devices, such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets, for extended periods are majorly straining eyes leading to dry eyes, thereby driving the market growth. However, lack of awareness about treatment options, self-care, and management of dry eye disease especially in developing nations act as major market restraints. Market participants have the chance to explore new avenues in product development, including innovative delivery methods for artificial tears and combination therapies aimed at addressing both the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease.
