Viral conjunctivitis is an acute conjunctival infection that is caused due to various viruses such adenovirus, herpes simplex virus etc. Viral conjunctivitis is responsible for majority of infectious conjunctivitis accounting for up to 75% of cases. Characteristics of occular viral conjunctivitis include redness, blood vessel engorgement, ocular discharge, pain, photophobia etc. Viral conjunctivitis that is caused by a group of adenoviruses is called Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis (EKC). This family of adenoviruses contains different serotypes that can cause pharyngoconjunctival fever and nonspecific follicular conjunctivitis as well. According to the article published in the American Academy of Ophthalmology: 2018, adenoviral conjunctivitis is the most common type of eye infection in adult population. The adenoviral conjunctivitis is highly contagious as the virus causing the infection can survive on a countertop or a similar surface for several weeks.
Market Dynamics
Market players are conducting clinical trials for developing more efficient treatments for adenoviral conjunctivitis, which could contribute to the growth of the market over the forecast period. For instance, in 2017, Shire Plc, subsidiary of Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, initiated clinical trials for testing the safety and efficacy of its drug candidate SHP640 for the treatment of adults and children suffering from adenoviral conjunctivitis.
Market players are focusing on the launch of new products, which is expected to strengthen their position in the global market. For instance, in 2018, Allergan plc., a subsidiary of Abbvie Inc., launched a new over-the-counter (OTC) artificial tear formulation, REFRESH REPAIR Lubricant Eye Drops. It is formulated with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), hyaluronic acid (HA, an inactive ingredient), and osmoprotectants that protects the eyes from the harmful effects of conjunctivitis symptoms like dry eyes.
Market players are involved in expanding their global presence by entering into partnerships with other companies in order to enhance distribution, this is expected to drive the growth of the viral conjunctivitis drugs market. For instance, in 2018, Mundipharma Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG, a pharmaceutical company, expanded its ophthalmology portfolio in Latin America by entering into a commercial partnership with NTC – an Italian pharmaceutical company, for obtaining exclusive rights to license and distribute a range of ophthalmic medicines across the Latin America region.
