Tear Duct Plug Market: Drivers and Restraints
Nowadays, dry eye condition is becoming one of the most common complaints in the ophthalmologist’s clinic. However, dry eye symptoms are significantly reduced with the use of artificial tears of varying viscosity. Tear duct plugs reduce the burden of dry eye conditions, which is expected to be the prominent factor driving the growth of the global market.
The increasing geriatric population and technological advancements are also expected to drive the growth of the global market, according to the tear duct plug industry outlook.
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, it is observed that the occurrence of dry eye conditions increases with age. Around 3.2 million women and 1.7 million men aged 50 and over in the United States are affected by dry eye syndrome. However, alternative treatment options hamper the growth of the global tear duct plug market.
The global market for tear duct plugs is expected to witness a noteworthy growth rate over the forecast period. Temporary tear duct plugs are used initially by the doctors to see how the body reacts. Temporary tear duct plugs naturally dissolve in the body and fade after some time and generally are made of collagen material.
Silicone tear duct plugs are permanent tear duct plugs, which last for years. Intracanalicular tear duct plugs offer a more permanent solution as they sit deeply in the duct. Amongst all, the hospitals end-use segment is expected to hold a noteworthy share of the global market.
Tear Duct Plug Market: Regional Outlook
Geographically, the global tear duct plug market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, CIS & Russia, Asia Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ), Japan, and the Middle East and Africa (MEA). As per the tear duct plug industry analysis, North America is expected to hold a significant share of the global market owing to the presence of leading market players in the region.
This is followed by Europe due to the rising product innovation and high adoption of tear duct plugs. Due to the rising incidence of eye disorders in potentially high growth countries, manufacturers are also targeting potentially high growth markets.
Asia Pacific region is considered to be at a noteworthy pace due to the large patient pool and rising geriatric population. However, other regions, such as Latin America and the Middle East and Africa are expected to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period.
