- Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the ciprofloxacin ophthalmic solution market during the forecast period, with a projected CAGR of 7.9%, due to increasing healthcare access, rising disposable incomes, and a high prevalence of untreated or misdiagnosed eye infections in countries such as India and China
- The generic segment dominated the ciprofloxacin ophthalmic solution market with a market share of 68.4% in 2024, attributed to lower costs, widespread availability, and increased prescriptions following patent expirations
