Quality Ingredients to Relieve Allergy Symptoms and Reduce Digital Eye Strain

The Canadian eye care market has grown at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 2.3% over the last five years. The industry expects a continued CAGR of 0.6% over the next five years, with growth from both the allergy and standard eye care categories.1 While demand for allergy eye care varies depending on weather conditions; we can expect growth over time due to the rising incidence of seasonal allergies. Demographic factors such as population growth and an aging population should drive standard eye care growth. Lifestyle changes also contribute to growth – although digital device use was already increasing before 2020, COVID-19 has increased screen time even more, which leads to more digital eye strain.
