About this market
Conjunctivitis is inflammation in the inside of the eyelids and the covering of the white of the eye, which causes the conjunctival blood vessels to dilate. While allergic conjunctivitis is known to be prevalent among people with allergies, infectious conjunctivitis is known to spread at a very fast rate. The ease of availability of antibiotic eye drops and ointments for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis and antibiotics for viral conjunctivitis is leading to an increase in the use of these therapeutics. The use of therapeutics is primarily to avoid the progression of the disease into severe indications, which could increase the economic burden of patients. Hence, the infectious nature of the disease is expected to increase the adoption rate of therapeutics, thus resulting in the growth of the market during the forecast period. analysts have predicted that the conjunctivitis therapeutics market will register a CAGR of over 8% by 2023.
