Which are Some Prominent Drivers of the Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis Market?

Increasing incidence of Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis disease to push the market growth

The increasing prevalence of Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis disease is one of the biggest drivers of the market. As per the Nature article published in April 2022, approximately 10% of the sample population had allergic conjunctivitis. In India, the prevalence of allergic conjunctivitis was 12.22% among those aged between five and 15 years.

Also, the NCBI article published in January 2021 mentioned that more than half of the patients report daily symptoms as seasonal or perennial and around 75% consider their symptoms to be severe. The same source also mentioned that there were between 1.2 and 10.6 cases of vernal keratoconjunctivitis per 10,000 individuals in Europe.

With the increasing prevalence and awareness of ocular allergies has significantly increased owing to several factors such as faster urbanization and a growing number of allergens.

Treatment for vernal keratoconjunctivitis includes oral or over-the-counter (OTC) drugs that reduce the release of histamine. Also, anti-inflammatory or anti-inflammation eye drops are available quickly and are found to relieve acute conjunctivitis. Hence, this segment is expected to witness steady growth during the forecast period.
