Global Ophthalmic Packaging Market by Dose (Single Dose, Multi Dose), by Material (Glass, Plastic), by Type (Prescription, OTC) and Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa), Forecast To 2028
Summary of the Report
Global ophthalmic packaging market was valued at USD 3.6 billion in 2020. It is projected to grow at a compound annual rate (CAGR of 11.9%) between 2021 and 2028. Market growth is due to growing brand differentiation and brand enhancement in highly competitive environments, the development of novel packaging material and the need to follow new regulations on packaging material recycling. Due to the ongoing Covid-19 epidemic, the market saw a sharp drop in size in 2020. COVID-19 had a severe impact on the entire industry of ophthalmic medicine, with only a small number of patients visiting hospitals.
Major market players are adapting quickly to the new environment by implementing innovative strategies. Johnson & Johnson Vision, for example, focused mainly on the market slowdown as a way to train healthcare professionals using their extensive portfolio. It is expected that this will have a positive long-term impact on the brand's image. Carl Zeiss Meditec was also focused on remote care solutions and training of ophthalmologists. Alcon concentrated on the development of its SMART Suite, a cloud-based platform that allows for data management in ORs and clinics. Telemedicine services are expected to be a lucrative way for ophthalmology to grow, just like other healthcare providers. The market will continue to grow due to increased demand for OTC and prescription products to manage COVID-19-related eye problems.
Ophthalmic packaging devices are expected to increase in demand due to the increasing prevalence of ophthalmic conditions such as conjunctivitis and dry eye. This is the primary reason for the global need for eye care services. The USA General Population Cross Sectional Study 2018 estimates that between 16 and 49 million Americans suffer from dry eye disease. This accounts for approximately 5% to 15%.
Opportunities for growth in ophthalmology are being offered by emerging economies like Brazil, India, China, and China. Companies will see growth opportunities in the future due to the rising population, increased focus on life expectancy, and an increase in disposable income. However, they face challenges from stagnant markets, the expiration of patents and the rise in regulatory barriers.
Drug delivery is a term that refers to methods, technologies, formulations, and systems for safely transporting pharmaceutical compounds within the body. Rapid technological advances, increased awareness about eye care, and rising incidence of eye diseases are all factors that are driving demand for drug delivery devices. This, in turn, is positively impacting market growth.
Dose Insights
With a share of over 70%, the multidose segment dominated 2020's market. Segment growth is driven by the high penetration index for multidose containers in OTC markets. Multidose containers are also very patient-friendly and environmentally friendly. Multidose containers are easier to transport than single-dose strips.
Due to the increasing demand from patients and the ease of use, multi-dose packaging will continue to lead the market throughout the forecast period. Multi-dose packaging for liquid eye drops typically consists of a cap, dispensing tip, nozzle, cap and tamper evident features. Preservatives are used in order to preserve product quality and prevent microbial contamination.
Single-dose packaging can be used for the one-time application of ophthalmic drugs. Single-dose packaging doesn't contain any preservatives. This minimizes the chance of patients experiencing allergic reactions. Single-dose packaging will grow due to increased healthcare manufacturing capabilities and eye-related surgery demand.
Material Insights
Plastic dominated the market in 2020 with a 45.0% revenue share. It is expected to continue its strong growth over the forecast period. Plastic containers are used to package most of the commercially-available ophthalmic products. Its rising popularity is due to its ease of use, cost efficiency, and inertness.
Plastic is driven primarily by its lighter weight, cost-efficiency and convenience. Some ophthalmic products, such as eye drops, are packaged entirely in plastic dispensers. Plastic bottles and dispensing tools used for this purpose are mostly made from low-density polyethylene resin (LDPE). Caps made of harder resins like polyethylene and polypropylene can be used. LDPE has key clinical benefits, including flexibility, inertness, and reduced chances of contamination. LDPE can be used with almost all resins and formulations. However, translucency, permeability and other characteristics are disadvantages.
Type Insights
Due to its widespread use as a first-line therapy, the prescription segment was dominant in 2020 with a revenue share exceeding 55.0%. Prescription sales will be driven by an increasing number of geriatric patients worldwide and the development of drug delivery systems. Prescription medications are used to treat more severe ophthalmic conditions, such as severe conjunctivitis or glaucoma.
The OTC market is expected to expand at a healthy pace during the forecast period. The segment is expected to grow due to frequent product launches, an increase in the number of pharmacies and a growing awareness about self-medication, preventative care, and self-medication.
The antibiotics are used to treat severe cases of neurotrophic keratitis and conjunctivitis that are not responsive to OTC medication. The segment's growth is expected to be accelerated by the increasing number of product approvals. Aptar Pharma was granted EU approval in February 2019 for its multidose prescription drug Taflotan/Saflutan, which is used to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) across Europe.
Regional Insights
North America held the largest share at over 35.0% in 2020, due to rising prevalence of ocular diseases, growing exports of ophthalmic product, increased investment in R&D specifically for the ophthalmic industry, and strict regulatory policies in parametrical packaging.
The regional market will be driven by the expiration of patents, an increase in the aging population and favorable government policies. Because of its high demand from the packaging sector, North America is the largest consumer of plastics. Plastics are versatile because of their many features such as ease of molding, ability to obtain desired shapes, and resistance to weather and water. Plastic containers are simple to make and come in many shapes and sizes. These factors will likely increase the demand for plastics over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is expected to see significant growth in the coming years. This is due to the demand for reliable and fast packaging solutions that meet security requirements, improve patient comfort, include tamper evident technology, and offer product protection and quality. Ophthalmic packaging companies will benefit from the recent trend in Asia of better social security and improved healthcare systems.
