Eye drops are liquid preparations that act directly on the eyes, mainly used to treat, relieve or prevent various eye diseases and discomfort symptoms. By dripping into the conjunctival sac, the drug ingredients can quickly act on the surface of the eyeball or the tissue inside the eye. It has the characteristics of rapid onset, high local concentration and small systemic side effects. According to the purpose, it can be divided into fatigue relief type, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory type, artificial tear type, anti-allergic type, intraocular pressure lowering type, etc. In sales statistics, "piece" is the basic unit, which refers to the smallest retail package, and one piece contains a single bottle or multiple eye drops.

The global eye drops market is driven by three main factors: the aging population and the popularity of electronic products have led to a high incidence of eye diseases such as dry eye; innovative drug research and development has promoted the expansion of treatment areas; and consumption upgrades in emerging markets. The development of eye drops faces three major restrictions: stricter regulatory policies in various countries, especially restrictions on products containing preservatives; foreign giants monopolize the high-end market; and competition in the mid- and low-end markets is highly homogenized. The Chinese market is growing the fastest, but local companies need to break through technical and brand barriers to compete with foreign capital.
