Growth Factors in Ophthalmic Packaging Market

  • Environmental sustainability: Packaging solutions that are more ecologically friendly, including using recyclable materials or materials sourced from sustainable sources, have been developed as a result of the growing emphasis on environmental effects. However, the requirement to uphold strict safety and sterility regulations must be balanced with the adoption of eco-friendly materials.
  • Smart technologies: The use of smart devices in eye packaging is becoming a more intriguing trend. By monitoring proper drug usage, warning patients of prescription mistakes, or reminding them to take their dosages, these devices help improve treatment adherence.
  • Growing ophthalmic diseases: Eye care medications are necessary for the effective treatment of certain ophthalmic conditions and eye irritations. Among the major reasons for developing eye problems include diabetes and age-related conditions.

Opportunities in the Ophthalmic Packaging Market

  • In October 2024, the commercial launch of Qlosi™ (pilocarpine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution) 0.4%, a new corrective eye drop for the treatment of adult presbyopia, will be supported by a $78 million funding deal, according to Orasis Pharmaceuticals.
  • In August 2024, Ocumension Therapeutics and Alcon Inc. announced an arrangement wherein Ocumension would purchase or get the rights to commercialize a portfolio of Alcon dry eye therapies and procedural drops in China. This partnership includes a number of commercially accessible medications as well as one product that is still in the development stage. When these rights are transferred, OcuMension will give Alcon 139,161,120 shares, which will represent 16.71% of the entire share capital (post-issuance).

Ophthalmic Packaging Market Regional Outlook

U.S. Ophthalmic Packaging Market Size and Forecast 2024 to 2033

The U.S. ophthalmic packaging market size is estimated at USD 1.67 billion in 2024 and is predicted to hit around USD 3.40 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2024 to 2034.

Growing Investment in Healthcare, North America to Sustain as a Leader

North America dominated the ophthalmic packaging market in 2023. The variables that drive market demand include the implementation of stringent regulatory regulations in parametrical packing, the expanding export of ophthalmic goods, and the rising prevalence of ocular illnesses. In addition, the packing industry's strong need for plastics, such as simple molding, temperature and weather resistance, and the capacity to take on the necessary form, make North America one of the biggest users of plastics internationally.

Additionally, rising R&D expenditures in the healthcare industry, as well as the aging population, increase sector demand. In North America, these variables, therefore, generate a profitable market for ophthalmic packaging.

In the United States alone, around 12 million adults over 40 have some form of visual impairment, and approximately one million are blind. Statistics from the World Health Organization indicate that over 2.2 billion individuals worldwide suffer from eye and visual issues. Over 14.2 million persons over 40, or 8.4 percent of the population, suffer from farsightedness. Nearsightedness affects around 34 million persons over 40, or 23.9% of the population.

According to the Government of Canada, the total amount of money invested in vision medical research in Canada is projected to reach $26.2 million in 2023, up 23% from 2021 ($21.3 million) and 25% from 2019 ($20.9 million).

Government Support in Asian Countries to Expand the Market’s Presence

Asia Pacific is expected to host the fastest-growing ophthalmic packaging market during the forecast period. Both governmental and non-governmental measures, such as national healthcare programs and ocular screening, would expand access to ophthalmic healthcare. Furthermore, policies like the "economic free trade zone" and shorter permission times for the establishment of creative ophthalmic manufacturing facilities would accelerate market expansion.

Also, developing nations like China and India are expected to witness rapid development in the ophthalmology sector. The global market is currently facing a number of obstacles, such as market saturation, patent expiration, and strict regulations. Nevertheless, the growing population, increased emphasis on longer life expectancies, and rising disposable income will present these players with significant growth prospects.

The most prevalent eye condition in the world is myopia, which affects 25–50% of adults in the US and Europe and up to 85–90% of young individuals in Asian nations. Myopia advances remarkably quickly in East Asia throughout childhood, and by maturity, roughly 24% of individuals may have extreme myopia.

Ophthalmic Packaging Market Segmentation Outlook

By Application Outlook

The prescription medication segment held the dominant share of the ophthalmic packaging market in 2023. Because medications applied to the eyes circumvent some of the body's natural defenses, ophthalmic medicine products, such as eye drops, provide a higher risk of injury to consumers. For a variety of reasons, prescription eye drops could be a better choice. Prescription eye drops are made especially to address certain eye disorders. Although side effects are a possibility with any treatment, prescription eye drops usually have fewer and milder adverse effects than over-the-counter drops.

By Material Outlook

The plastic segment captured the major share of the ophthalmic packaging market in 2023. Ophthalmic products are most frequently packaged in plastic bottles, which are typically composed of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and other materials based on the particular needs of the product. Plastic is a very adaptable material that is used extensively in many industries, including the pharmaceutical sector, to create packaging solutions because of its mechanical strength, flexibility, and stability.
