Artificial Tears Demand Soars As Dry Eye Disease Prevalence Increases: A Key Factor Shaping the Future of the Artificial Tears Market in 2025

"What Are the Projections for the Size and Growth Rate of the Artificial Tears Market?
The artificial tears market has demonstrated strong growth in recent years. It is projected to rise from $3.55 billion in 2024 to $3.78 billion in 2025, with a CAGR of 6.5%. The past expansion was driven by an aging population, increased screen time, higher healthcare expenditures, a shift from prescription to OTC products, and regulatory changes.

The artificial tears market is projected to reach $4.86 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 6.5%. The growth is driven by the increasing prevalence of dry eye syndrome, contact lens usage, urbanization, and e-commerce growth. Key trends include advancements in product formulation, natural ingredients, and eco-friendly products.

What Are the Main Catalysts for Growth in the Artificial Tears Market?
The increasing occurrence of dry eye disease is likely to drive the growth of the artificial tear market in the future. Dry eye disease is a condition where the eyes fail to produce sufficient tears, or the tears produced are of low quality, causing irritation and discomfort. Artificial tears help supplement natural tear production, offering lubrication and relief for dry eyes. For example, in March 2022, a survey by Macquarie University, an Australia-based public research university, revealed that 13% of individuals aged 50 and above (15 out of 120) showed clinical signs of dry eye disease (DED), with 8.2% mild, 2.5% moderate, and 1.6% severe cases. Additionally, a March 2022 report by Eyes On Eyecare, a US-based ophthalmology news provider, indicated that the use of prescription and in-office treatments for dry eye disease increased from 5.8% in 2021 to 7.56% in 2022, with prescription treatments like topical steroids rising significantly from 0.9% to 9.1% during the same period. Hence, the rising prevalence of dry eye disease is driving the growth of the artificial tear market.
