The global ophthalmic drug delivery systems market size is projected to reach USD 23.36 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2025 to 2030. Factors such as growing prevalence of ophthalmic diseases, rise in number of ophthalmic procedures that require attentive post procedural care and increase in need to deliver controlled dosage forms for pediatric and geriatric population are anticipated to propel the growth of the market. In addition, immense focus on technological advancements is further helping the market to grow at a significant rate. For instance, manufacturers' instant focus on nanotechnology has helped to deliver error-free drug delivery and increase the penetration level of the drug at the target site.
The market observed a sudden fall in sales of ophthalmic drug delivery systems during the first half of the COVID-19 pandemic. The lockdowns across different countries and various restrictions led down by the government led to fall in number of patient's visits to the hospitals and clinics. Moreover, the disruption in supply chains also led to a shortage of these products which indicates an overall negative impact on the market. However, with the government's initiatives to curb the spread of the virus and limit the negative consequences it possesses via mass vaccination programs and heavy investment in R&D activities, the market is expected to recover over the forecast period.
