The ophthalmic drugs market is divided on the basis of drug class into anti-inflammatory drugs, antiglaucoma drugs, anti-allergic drugs, anti-infective drugs, and others. The anti-inflammatory drugs are further segmented into nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids. The anti-infective drugs are further divided into anti-fungal drugs, anti-viral drugs, antibacterial drugs, and others. The anti-glaucoma drugs segment is divided into combined medication, an alpha agonist, prostaglandin analogs, beta blockers, and others. The anti-infective drugs segment dominated the market in 2017 due to increasing incidences of allergic conjunctivitis. However, anti-glaucoma is anticipated to be the fastest growing segment in the forecast period due to the introduction of different therapies with a novel mechanism of action under this drug class.

Based on the type, the market is segmented into hospital prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs. The biotechnology companies are expected to be the fastest growing end-user segment. The over the counter drugs segment is anticipated to be the largest segment owing to some of the leading ophthalmic OTC products like Golden Eye ointment, Zaditor, GelTears, Otrivine Antistin, Alaway, Brolene, and Viscotears.
