North America Glaucoma Therapeutics Market

At 3.3% CAGR, North America Glaucoma Therapeutics Market is Projected to be worth US$ 3,421.64 million by 2031, says Business Market Insights

According to Business Market Insights’ research, the North America glaucoma therapeutics market was valued at US$ 2,634.52 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 3,421.64 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 3.3% from 2023 to 2031. Development of novel drug delivery methods and increasing number of product launches, collaborations and acquisitions are among the critical factors attributed to drive the North America hearing market growth.

One of the most common treatment approaches for glaucoma management is to reduce intraocular pressure by using eye drops. Nonetheless, the rising focus on the development of improved formulations with enhanced stability, longer circulation times, and targeted binding properties is likely to add novel products to the market in the future. The use of nanoparticles with suitable structures and superior binding capabilities facilitates the better bioavailability and efficacy of drugs. Sustained release (SR) implants and other innovative drug delivery systems aid in improved patient compliance and reduced side effects compared to conventional eye drops. Several companies are developing SR drug delivery systems as an alternative to topical delivery to potentially overcome barriers associated with the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). As per an article published in PubMed Central in 2022, the only approved SR therapy for POAG by the FDA is Bimatoprost SR (DurystaTM) from Allergan plc. Bimatoprost ocular ring (Allergan), iDose (Glaukos Corporation), ENV515 (Envisia Therapeutics), OTX-TP (Ocular Therapeutix), OTX-TIC (Ocular Therapeutix), and latanoprost free acid SR (PolyActiva) are among other SR therapies that are under investigation. SR drug delivery technology in POAG management may shift treatment paradigms and dramatically improve outcomes. Therefore, the development of novel drug delivery methods is likely to remain a key trend in the glaucoma therapeutics market.

On the contrary, the medication regimen compliance issues hamper the growth of North America glaucoma therapeutics market.
