Uzbekistan OTC Dry Eye Drops Market Synopsis

Uzbekistan’s OTC eye drop market experienced significant growth, driven by escalating pollution levels in Uzbekistan, particularly in urban centers like Tashkent, significantly drove the OTC eye drop market. In 2022, the city recorded 430,000 tonnes of pollutants, with vehicle emissions contributing to 90% of urban pollution. Uzbekistan had 3.1 million automobiles in 2021, a number that grew to 4.6 million in 2023. This increase in vehicle numbers has exacerbated pollution, leading to worsened eye dryness and irritation. In addition, rapid urbanization and environmental degradation heightened exposure to dry and polluted air. Simultaneously, increasing screen time further amplified eye-related issues. The COVID-19 lockdowns shifted 6.1 million students aged 5-15 to online learning, dramatically boosting digital exposure. Internet penetration rose from 77% in 2021 to 89% in 2023, with 5.35 million social media users experiencing prolonged screen time. This dual impact of pollution and screen strain propelled demand for OTC eye drops as a quick relief solution.

According to 6Wresearch, Uzbekistan OTC Dry Eye Drops Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2024-2030F. The OTC eye drop market is poised for further growth due to intensifying urbanization, rising pollution, and continued digital activity. Urbanization efforts aim to raise the urbanization rate to 60% by 2030, exacerbating pollution-related eye issues, especially in Tashkent, where AQI ratings in January 2024 marked 19 “unhealthy” days. Vehicle emissions and reliance on A-80 gasoline, which constitutes 73% of daily consumption, worsen air quality. Moreover, growing screen time driven by work-from-home policies and increasing internet penetration would sustain digital eye strain. Additionally, healthcare reforms, including the expansion of clinics and the $746.6 million Tashkent Pharma Park project, promise better access to affordable eye drops. These factors, coupled with rising awareness and accessibility, would further boost market growth.

Market Segmentation By Type

By type, branded OTC dry eye drops are expected to see growth in Uzbekistan due to increasing consumer awareness, trust in quality of these products. As screen time, pollution, and aging populations contribute to dry eye conditions, branded products' reliability, innovation, and endorsements from healthcare professionals make them preferred choices. Growing e-commerce, higher disposable incomes, and expanded distribution networks further drive the adoption of branded eye drops in the market.

Market Segmentation By Product Type

By product type, preservative-free OTC eye drops are expected to have the highest growth rate in Uzbekistan due to increasing consumer awareness of eye health and safety. As people become more conscious of the potential irritation caused by preservatives, there is a growing demand for preservative-free products, especially among those with sensitive eyes or using drops frequently. These products are perceived as gentler and safer, driving their popularity in the coming years.

Market Segmentation By Viscosity

By viscosity, high viscosity eye drops are likely to see higher growth in Uzbekistan's OTC dry eye drop market due to their prolonged retention time on the eye, providing longer-lasting relief for severe dry eye conditions. As urbanization increases and digital screen usage grows, the demand for more effective treatments rises. High viscosity drops offer enhanced comfort and are favoured for chronic conditions, making them a preferred choice for consumers seeking reliable, long-term relief.

Market Segmentation By Distribution Channel

By distribution channel, online retailers are expected to have the highest growth rate for OTC eye drops in Uzbekistan. Increasing internet penetration and the growing e-commerce trend are driving more consumers to purchase eye care products online. The convenience of browsing various options, comparing prices, and home delivery is appealing to consumers. As digital payment systems and delivery infrastructure improve, the online retail channel is set to expand rapidly in the coming years.
