Ophthalmic Drugs Market Forecast 2014-2024:
Prospects for Leading Companies
1. Report Overview
1.1 Global Ophthalmic Drugs Market Overview
The world market for ophthalmic drugs will reach $20,922m in 2014. Led by blockbuster wet AMD
drugs Lucentis and Eylea, the ophthalmic drugs market is expected to grow significantly during the
forecast period. While some areas of the market, such as glaucoma, have been in decline due to
patent expiry and generic competition, the strong R&D pipeline in ophthalmology will drive growth
especially in the retinal disorders segment. The dry eye market will also grow more than previously
expected after early generic competition for the leading drug Restasis failed to materialise.
“Successful harnessing of the opportunities for growth in the
ophthalmic pharmaceutical market from 2014 to 2024 will depend
upon the development of novel products with technologies that
increase clinical effectiveness and development of products for
previously-untreated ophthalmic conditions...”
Thomas Ling, senior pharmaceutical and medical devices industry analyst,

produce a cohesive research report. The skill of the analyst is in meticulously sifting through vast
amounts of available information to produce a cohesive industry outlook that is well argued and
which, due to its breadth of sources, is comprehensive in outlook. This is where visiongain’s
expertise really adds value. Visiongain believes this proven research methodology, reinforced with

www.visiongain.com Page 48
Ophthalmic Drugs Market Forecast 2014-2024:
Prospects for Leading Companies
Primary Research
In order to provide our clients with the best product possible, visiongain analysts interview several
market-leading companies and industry experts for each research report. Interviews cover a broad
range of issues from detailed technical product issues to insight into factors driving the industry at
the local and macroeconomic level. Further supporting interviews are also sourced from other
industry stakeholders. These interviews are fully transcribed and published in full within our
reports. Visiongain passionately believes that only by consulting extensively with industry can
thorough and accurate research be produced.
Secondary Research
Secondary research is performed by analysing hundreds of contracts / sales data from a multitude
of sources including company annual reports, SEC filings, contractual announcements, sales
reports, company web sites, news reports, online and in-house databases, industry journals, and
other statistical publications. By using a vast array of sources and not relying upon one single
source of data visiongain more accurately triangulates upon the reality of a market.
Market Evaluation & Forecasting Methodology
Market evaluation uses the bottom-up approach which involves analysing hundreds of contracts
and/or sales data from a multitude of sources such as annual reports, online and in-house
databases, industry journals, and other statistical publications and also by consulting with leading
industry experts. Regional market share data and company market share data are also derived
from a similar bottom-up data analysis process.
The extensive secondary data sources are then synthesised with the primary research insight from
company interviews and blended with the SWOT analysis to develop the forecasts. The experience
of the analyst allows them to consider historical precedent and assess growth rates on a year-by-
year basis, forming a clear vision of the future sector over a 10-year horizon providing a clear and
informed projection of future market prospects. This is the value of a visiongain report.

1.8 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
• How are the market forecasts produced?
Please refer to our methodology in the previous section 1.7.
• Why do you not show the sources for your data?
In the vast majority of cases, the market data revealed is our own visiongain data compiled from
a very broad combination of our own in-house databases, our own market evaluation, company
annual reports, other secondary data and our primary research. In cases where the data is
being quoted directly, the source is credited to the organisation or source of data.
• Why does the report not provide market forecasts for all national markets? Why are
some countries not included?
The aim of the report is to identify the leading national markets so the reader can assess where
the greatest business potential will be. Furthermore, in some cases there is insufficient data or
the data available does not meet our high quality threshold, hence we decide not to include it.
• Does the report provide year-by-year market forecasts for the leading national markets?
Yes, the report quantifies the leading national markets in $m each year with AGR (%).
• Does the report just contain market forecasts or do they also contain supporting written
analysis explaining the reasons behind the forecast?
Yes, the supporting text explains the forecast and provides context to justify our forecast.
• Why are not all of the regions or countries segmented by application or technology?
We aim to provide clients with the best possible information available that we believe can be
relied upon. However, in some cases, this extra detail or ‘granularity’ is not possible or the data
available is not reliable enough to meet our high quality threshold, hence we decide to omit it.
• Why does the report not mention every single company in the sector?
Our report is primarily a market forecast report to assist investment decisions and therefore
focuses upon the market evaluation, forecasts and the demand-side factors. As such our report
is not intended to be an exhaustive business directory. However, we do profile a selection of the
leading 10 to 20 major companies operating within the sector.
• How is the report delivered?
PDF format is the favoured option as it is instant, secure and easily used across multiple
platforms, PCs, laptops, tablets and even smartphones, allowing you to view content while in
the office or on the move.

Market Evaluation & Forecasting Methodology Market evaluation uses the bottom-up approach which involves analysing hundreds of contracts and/or sales data from a multitude of sources such as annual reports, online and in-house databases, industry journals, and other statistical publications and also by consulting with leading industry experts. Regional market share data and company market share data are also derived from a similar bottom-up data analysis process. The extensive secondary data sources are then synthesised with the primary research insight from company interviews and blended with the SWOT analysis to develop the forecasts. The experience of the analyst allows them to consider historical precedent and assess growth rates on a year-by- year basis, forming a clear vision of the future sector over a 10-year horizon providing a clear and informed projection of future market prospects. This is the value of a visiongain report.
  • 8. www.visiongain.com Page 49 Ophthalmic Drugs Market Forecast 2014-2024: Prospects for Leading Companies 1.8 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) • How are the market forecasts produced? Please refer to our methodology in the previous section 1.7. • Why do you not show the sources for your data? In the vast majority of cases, the market data revealed is our own visiongain data compiled from a very broad combination of our own in-house databases, our own market evaluation, company annual reports, other secondary data and our primary research. In cases where the data is being quoted directly, the source is credited to the organisation or source of data. • Why does the report not provide market forecasts for all national markets? Why are some countries not included? The aim of the report is to identify the leading national markets so the reader can assess where the greatest business potential will be. Furthermore, in some cases there is insufficient data or the data available does not meet our high quality threshold, hence we decide not to include it. • Does the report provide year-by-year market forecasts for the leading national markets? Yes, the report quantifies the leading national markets in $m each year with AGR (%). • Does the report just contain market forecasts or do they also contain supporting written analysis explaining the reasons behind the forecast? Yes, the supporting text explains the forecast and provides context to justify our forecast. • Why are not all of the regions or countries segmented by application or technology? We aim to provide clients with the best possible information available that we believe can be relied upon. However, in some cases, this extra detail or ‘granularity’ is not possible or the data available is not reliable enough to meet our high quality threshold, hence we decide to omit it. • Why does the report not mention every single company in the sector? Our report is primarily a market forecast report to assist investment decisions and therefore focuses upon the market evaluation, forecasts and the demand-side factors. As such our report is not intended to be an exhaustive business directory. However, we do profile a selection of the leading 10 to 20 major companies operating within the sector. • How is the report delivered? PDF format is the favoured option as it is instant, secure and easily used across multiple platforms, PCs, laptops, tablets and even smartphones, allowing you to view content while in the office or on the move.
