Which Factor Is Shaping The Future Of The Over-The-Counter (OTC) Products-Eye Care Market?

The increase in time spent on digital screens is predicted to contribute to the expansion of the over-the-counter (OTC) eye care product market in the future. The duration spent on screens, whether it be computers, smartphones, or tablets, has surged due to the necessity of remote work and online communications, leading to prolonged daily use of screens. OTC eye care items provide relief from the side effects of extended digital screen exposure by reducing dryness, mitigating irritation, and maintaining hydration in the eyes. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a governmental agency in the US, revealed in October 2024 that from July 2021 to December 2023, more than half of all 12-17 year olds (50.4%) spent an average of 4 or more hours on screens daily, whilst 22.8% spent an average of 3 hours, 17.8% spent 2 hours, 6.1% spent 1 hour, and only 3.0% participated less than an hour each day. The rising digital screen exposure therefore significantly impacts the growth of the over-the-counter (OTC) eye care product market.
