The rising prevalence of eye disorders is expected to propel the growth of the eye health supplements market going forward. Eye disorders are conditions that affect the visual system and hinder its ability to function effectively, potentially resulting in vision impairment or blindness. The increasing occurrence of eye disorders is largely attributed to the aging population, as advancing age significantly raises the risk of conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. The growing incidence of these disorders is increasing demand for eye health supplements, as they help support retinal health, protect against oxidative damage, and slow the progression of vision-threatening conditions. For instance, in August 2024, according to the Welsh Government, a UK-based government agency, ophthalmology departments in Wales reported over 35,000 admissions during 2023-24, reflecting a 5.8% increase compared to the previous year. Therefore, the rising prevalence of eye disorders is driving the growth of the eye health supplements market.

Major companies operating in the eye health supplements market are emphasizing technological advancements, such as ultra-absorbable gel supplements, to improve nutrient absorption and enhance eye health outcomes. Ultra-absorbable gel supplements are specifically formulated to increase the absorption and bioavailability of nutrients. Compared to conventional tablets or capsules, gel-based formats enable faster and more efficient delivery of vitamins and minerals into the bloodstream, resulting in improved effectiveness and greater health benefits with smaller doses. For example, in May 2024, HealthyCell, a US-based biotechnology company, launched Health MicroGel, an ultra-absorbable gel supplement designed to combat oxidative stress and support eye function. The product contains a blend of 10 micronutrients, including carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which help protect the retina from oxidative damage and improve visual performance. Additionally, the ultra-absorbable gel format ensures efficient nutrient delivery, offering a more effective alternative to traditional pill-based supplements.

In July 2024, Merck and Co., Inc., a US-based global leader in pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and health solutions with a strong focus on research and development, acquired EyeBio for an undisclosed amount.
