Global Ophthalmic Anesthetic Drugs market Insights
Ophthalmic anesthetics drugs are gels, eye drops, or ointments that consist of a local anesthetic and can be administered directly into the eye. Ophthalmic anesthetics restrict the transmission of pain signals from the nerve endings of the eye to the brain, numbing the eye. Furthermore, topical anesthetics reduce sodium ion penetrability, decreasing nerve impulse circulation, increasing the excitation threshold, and preventing nerve impulse creation and transmission.
In recent years, the market is expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period. With the rising trend of oral cancer, the use of ophthalmic anesthetic drugs are also used. The lifetime risk of developing oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer is around 1 in 60 for men and 1 in 141 for women. According to the law, surgical operations and other medical processes can be performed on patients without causing them discomfort. Thus, this lead to the higher adoption of drugs. The development and approvals of novel local anesthesia drugs are proving to be a new revenue-generating resource for major market players.
Ophthalmic anesthetic drugs market, which was USD 125.25 million in 2022, would rise to USD 160.65 billion by 2030 and is expected to undergo a CAGR of 3.16% during the forecast period 2023 to 2030. In addition to the insights on market scenarios such as market value, growth rate, segmentation, geographical coverage, and major players, the market reports curated by the Data Bridge Market Research also include depth expert analysis, patient epidemiology, pipeline analysis, pricing analysis, and regulatory framework.

Global Ophthalmic Anesthetic Drugs Market Dynamics
Drivers

• Increasing Prevalence of Ocular Disorders
  A high incidence of ocular disorders is leading to market growth. The rising incidence of eye disorders such as diabetic retinopathy among the elderly, presbyopia, and macular degeneration is expected to improve the market's growth. According to the National Eye Institute, the number of people with AMD in the U.S. is anticipated to increase from 2.07 million in 2030 to 5.44 million in 2050. Furthermore, in diabetic retinopathy, the total number of cases in the U.S. is expected to reach 14.6 million by 2050. This increasing prevalence is leading to a high demand for anesthetic drugs. This factor leads to the growth of the market.
• Increasing Rate of Acquisitions
  The growing rate of acquisitions is a developing trend in the anesthetics market. This is mainly because of the increasing R&D and intellectual property (I.P.) investment needed to establish companies that manufacture ophthalmic anesthetic drugs. In this regard, several acquisitions and mergers are considered a time-saving and cost-effective method. Thus, this factor help in the market growth.
   

Opportunities

• Growing Elderly Population
  The increasing geriatric population is expected to surge the market's expansion during the 2023-2030. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), the global geriatric population, which was expected to be over 524 million in 2010, is anticipated to increase to approximately 2 billion by 2050. Geriatrics are more vulnerable to eye diseases because of their compromised immune systems, which increases the market growth rate. Thus, this factor boosts market growth.  
• Growing Demand for Anti-VEGF Drugs
  The increasing demand for anti-VEGF drugs is because of their efficiency and efficacy in treating ocular disorders. The anti-VEGF drugs are usually used to treat proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Anti- VEGF medicines limit the growth of these new blood vessels. This prevents damage to the retinal light receptors and also loss of central vision. These therapeutics are very effective in preventing further central vision loss in around 90% of treated eyes. Therefore, this factor serves as a major factor that increases market growth.
   

Restraints/Challenges

• Side Effects of Ophthalmic Anesthetic Drugs
  Several side effects are associated with anesthetic drugs that lead to market hindrance. The market growth is affected by persistent epithelial defects, stromal/ring infiltrates, superficial punctate keratitis, corneal edema, endothelial damage, and ocular inflammation. Thus, this factor impedes market growth.
