Report Code: HCR 0882 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Viral Conjunctivitis Pipeline Drugs Market Overview

Viral Conjunctivitis Pipeline Drugs Market size is estimated to reach $521.4 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Viral Conjunctivitis is termed pinkeye. It is a greatly contagious acute conjunctiva infection typically brought about by adenovirus. Numerous viruses that can bring about conjunctival infection rely on herpes simplex virus (HSV), varicella-zoster virus (VZV), picornavirus (enterovirus 70, Coxsackie A24), poxvirus (molluscumcontagiosum, vaccinia). Certain symptoms of viral conjunctivitis include light sensitivity, tearing, itchy eyes, and redness. The transmission can also happen by way of accidental inoculation of viral particles from the hands of the patient, infected swimming pools, and by contact form droplets of contaminated upper respiratory tracks. Most viral conjunctivitis is a greatly contagious infection brought about by adenoviruses or enteroviruses. Viral conjunctivitis, though typically benign and self-limited, is likely to pursue a longer course than acute bacterial conjunctivitis, lasting for nearly 2-4 weeks. Viral infection is characterized typically by an acute follicular conjunctival reaction and preauricular adenopathy. Corneal lesions are typically connected with the ensuing growth of inflammation (with edema, redness, and more). The most typical are corneal abrasions, which are restricted to the surface of the eye and brought about by microtraumas, even banal ones, like a fingernail scratching the eye or the application of contact lenses.

The soaring R&D activities are set to drive the Viral Conjunctivitis Pipeline Drugs Market. The higher occurrence rate of viral conjunctivitis, typically caused by adenoviruses or enteroviruses, in countries like the U.S., Germany, Australia, Brazil, and Japan are set to propel the growth of the Viral Conjunctivitis Pipeline Drugs Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Viral Conjunctivitis Pipeline Drugs Market Drivers

Increasing Predominance Of Viral Conjunctivitis Is Projected To Drive The Growth Of Viral Conjunctivitis Pipeline Drugs Market:

Viral Conjunctivitis is caused by adenoviruses and enteroviruses. As per the Centers For Disease Control And Prevention (CDC), people frequently term conjunctivitis “pink eye” owing to it bringing about the white of the eye to take on a pink or red color with symptoms usually involving redness or swelling of the white of the eye. Most cases of viral conjunctivitis are gentle. The infection will typically clear up in 7 to 14 days without treatment and without any long-term results. However, in certain cases, viral conjunctivitis can take 2 to 3 weeks or more to resolve. A doctor can prescribe antiviral medication to treat more severe forms of conjunctivitis. For example, for conjunctivitis brought about by the herpes simplex virus or varicella-zoster virus, antibiotics will not enhance viral conjunctivitis. These medications are not efficient against viruses. Viral conjunctivitis is a common ocular ailment in the U.S. and across the world. Owing to it being common, and numerous cases not being brought to medical attention, precise statistics on the frequency of the ailment are inaccessible. An approximate 6 million novel cases of viral conjunctivitis happen yearly in the U.S. Viral infection repeatedly happens in epidemics within families, schools, offices, shipyards, athletic teams, residential communities, and military organizations. The increasing predominance of viral conjunctivitis is therefore fuelling the growth of the Viral Conjunctivitis Pipeline Drugs Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Proliferating Applications Of Antiviral Medications For Treatment Of Viral Conjunctivitis Are Expected To Boost The Market Growth:

Most cases of viral conjunctivitis are brought about by adenovirus. Viral conjunctivitis accounts for most infectious conjunctivitis, being responsible for up to 75% of cases. Viral conjunctivitis is one of the most typical ailments witnessed in ophthalmic emergency departments. Still, no established treatment exists. Recently, antiviral medicines have been launched into clinical practice. Presently, aciclovir, trifluridine, and valaciclovir are typically utilized as antiviral agents to treat herpesvirus contaminations. Cidofovir has been utilized favorably to treat certain cases of adenoviral conjunctivitis, though toxicity has also been recorded. Interestingly, the majority of the antiviral medications established are utilized to treat herpesvirus contaminations, while less advancement has been made in the field of adenoviral contaminations. The proliferating applications of antiviral medications for the treatment of viral conjunctivitis are therefore driving the growth of the Viral Conjunctivitis Pipeline Drugs Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Viral Conjunctivitis Pipeline Drugs Market Challenges

Complications Of Viral Conjunctivitis Are Hampering The Growth Of The Viral Conjunctivitis Pipeline Drugs Market:

Conjunctivitis may occur with the common cold and other systemic viral infections (specifically measles, but also chickenpox, rubella, and mumps). Localized viral conjunctivitis without systemic manifestations normally results from adenoviruses (up to 90% of viral conjunctivitis) and at times enteroviruses or herpes simplex virus (1.3 to 4.8% of viral conjunctivitis). Viral conjunctivitis may be owing to systemic or localised contamination. Viral conjunctivitis is usually brought about by systemic contamination by adenovirus and is related to respiratory tract symptoms. It can also be owing to local infection by herpes simplex, herpes varicella-zoster virus (cause of chickenpox and shingles), picornavirus (enterovirus 70, coxsackie A 24), poxvirus (molluscum contagiosum) and human immunodeficiency virus. Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) is an explosive form of viral conjunctivitis and keratitis. The characteristics involve:

  1. A sensation of a foreign body
  2. Multiple corneal infiltrates
  3. Inability to open the eyes spontaneously
  4. Loss of visual acuity

Nearly all forms of conjunctivitis are self-limiting, however, in some cases, serious complexities may happen. Pain, loss of vision, or photophobia need an instantaneous referral to an ophthalmologist.

Complications from viral conjunctivitis involve:

  1. Bacterial conjunctivitis
  2. Keratitis
  3. Chronic redness, discharge, and irritation
  4. Blindness

These issues are thus hampering the growth of the Viral Conjunctivitis Pipeline Drugs Market.
