PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Warmer, drier springs to drive allergy-related eye care demand
The eye care category in Chile is expected to recover, starting in 2026, supported by a projected improvement in the country’s economic performance, which will increase consumer purchasing power. This recovery is also likely to be reinforced by climatic factors, as forecasts indicate warmer and drier springs from 2026 onward.
Environmental factors contribute to growth in eye care
In Chile, it is estimated that around 25% of the population suffers from respiratory allergies, a figure that could be significantly higher when accounting for underdiagnosed and unreported cases. This trend is expected to continue growing over the forecast period, with global projections suggesting that by 2050, 40% of the world’s population may experience some form of allergy.
Chamomile emerges as a key complementary remedy for eye health
Local consumers are increasingly turning to natural solutions for a variety of health concerns, and eye care is no exception. While conventional eye care products are widely regarded as safe, younger consumers and those with a preference for organic options are actively seeking preventive and complementary remedies to support overall eye health.
