Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures globally, and postoperative inflammation and pain management is essential to ensure visual recovery, minimize complications such as cystoid macular edema (CME), and improve patient satisfaction. Corticosteroids, NSAIDs, multimodal fixed-dose combinations, and sustained-release intraocular drug delivery technologies form the core of the treatment landscape.
Key Market Highlights
• 2024 Market Size: USD 2.34 billion
• 2034 Forecast: USD 3.91 billion
• CAGR (2025-2034): 5.3%
• Largest Segment: Topical corticosteroids
• Fastest-Growing Segment: Sustained-release intraocular drug delivery systems
Epidemiology & Clinical Insights
1. Rising Global Cataract Burden
• Cataracts account for ~45% of global blindness.
• Over 28 million cataract surgeries were performed globally in 2024.
• Aging populations in Asia, Europe, and North America significantly expand demand.
2. Postoperative Inflammation
Inflammation after phacoemulsification or laser-assisted cataract surgery is caused by:
• Surgical trauma
• Release of prostaglandins
• Immune response activation
3. Symptoms
• Ocular pain
• Redness
• Light sensitivity
• Swelling
• Reduced visual acuity
4. Risk Factors
Higher inflammation risk occurs in:
• Diabetes patients
• Uveitis history
• Intraoperative complications
• Multifocal/premium IOL implantation
Market Growth Drivers
1. Strong Increase in Global Cataract Surgical Volumes
Demographic shifts and improved access to ophthalmic care expand market size.
2. Preference for Fixed-Dose Combination (FDC) Therapies
Convenience improves adherence, especially among elderly patients.
3. Emergence of Sustained-Release Drug Delivery
Products such as intracanalicular inserts and intraocular steroid implants reduce drop burden.
4. Growth of Premium IOL Adoption
Premium IOL recipients expect faster and clearer vision recovery, increasing demand for high-performance postoperative medications.
5. Improved Surgical Techniques
Femtosecond-laser and micro-incision cataract surgery reduce inflammation but require precise anti-inflammatory management.
Market Restraints
• High cost of sustained-release technologies
• Patient non-compliance with topical drops
• Risk of steroid-induced IOP elevation
• Variable insurance reimbursement across regions
Market Opportunities
1. Sustained-Release & Injectable Therapies

3. Digital Compliance Platforms
Smart ophthalmic drug delivery devices and reminders.
4. Expansion into Emerging Markets
Large cataract burden in India, China, Brazil, and Africa.
5. Combination Anti-Inflammatory & Anti-Infective Therapies
Increasing adoption of simplified postoperative regimens.
