In the market Sensory Organ Drugs, ophthalmologicals have a much larger share than otologicals. The solid growth of the market was hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic, and in the coming years, it is expected to be somewhat weakened by expiring patents, e.g., in the case of Eylea in 2026. Nevertheless, mid-term growth is predicted to stay fairly high and stable. The main market drivers are an aging population combined with a growing awareness of diseases of the eye and ear and increasing advancements in technology.
A substantial fraction of the market comprises only a few different drugs to treat severe eye conditions. The remaining share is made up of less expensive yet more commonly used drugs, which are often OTC products. The strong negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic can be mainly explained by high barriers to in-clinic injections. In addition, as OTC products are generally used for non-emergency treatment, their use declined in 2020.
