Herpetic Keratitis Market was valued at USD 4,130 Million in 2022 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% over 2023-2029. Herpetic keratitis is a form of keratitis caused by recurrent herpes simplex virus infection in the cornea, which begins with infection of the epithelial cells on the surface of the eye and retrograde infection of nerves serving the cornea and is characterized by swelling of the conjunctiva and eyelids. Based on the treatment type, the anti-viral segment is anticipated to dominate the herpetic keratitis market share over the forecast period. According to the World Health Organization, nearly 3.7 billion people under the age of 50 years have herpes simplex virus type 1 infection, and around 491 million people aged 15 to 49 years have herpes simplex virus type 2 infection. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, rapid advancements in the healthcare sector, and high adoption of techniques are the major herpetic keratitis market growth drivers, while the high cost of treatment could hinder the growth of the market. The increasing rate of mergers and acquisitions will act as an opportunity for geographical expansion of the market.
