An eyelid scrub is a specialized cleansing solution crafted specifically for the delicate area of the eyelids and its surroundings. It entails using a gentle solution or cleanser to thoroughly clean the eyelids, eyelashes, and the skin surrounding the eyes. The primary aim of an eyelid scrub is to eliminate excess oils, debris, bacteria, and other particles that can accumulate in this area.
Eyelid scrubs are available in various forms, including pre-moistened scrubs, spray scrubs, and dry pad scrubs. Pre-moistened scrubs are disposable wipes or cloths saturated with a cleaning solution or disinfectant, offering convenience in application. These products are distributed through diverse channels such as online pharmacies, retail pharmacies, hospital pharmacies, and eye health clinics. They serve multiple purposes, including addressing allergies, dry eyes, maintaining eye health, and managing minor eye irritations.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.

The eyelid scrub market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.7 billion in 2024 to $3.98 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing awareness of ocular health, rising incidence of eye conditions, aging population, increased screen time, rise in allergies, and expansion of e-commerce.
The eyelid scrub market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.17 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing eye health awareness, rising prevalence of digital eye strain, increasing consumer focus on self-care, growing healthcare investments, and rising disposable income. Major trends in the forecast period include innovative delivery formats, personalized eyelid hygiene solutions, expansion of product lines, partnerships with eye care professionals, and global market expansion.
The forecast of 6.7% growth over the next five years remains unchanged from the previous projection for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff barriers are expected to hamper the U.S. by increasing the cost of medicated eyelid cleansers and sterile wipes sourced from South Korea and Canada, thereby exacerbating blepharitis and dry eye management while elevating ophthalmology clinic costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rising prevalence of eye illnesses is expected to drive the growth of the eyelid scrub market in the future. Eye illnesses encompass a wide range of health conditions and disorders that impact the eyes, vision, and overall eye health. Eyelid scrubs are used to manage various eye conditions by removing debris, bacteria, and excess oils from the eyelids, helping to reduce inflammation and enhance eye comfort. For example, in June 2023, the BrightFocus Foundation, a US-based nonprofit organization, reported that the global population of glaucoma patients has surpassed 80 million since 2020, with projections indicating this figure could reach 111 million by 2040. Consequently, the increasing prevalence of eye illnesses is expected to propel the eyelid scrub market forward.
Major players in the eyelid scrub market are concentrating on the development of innovative products, such as the OCuSOFT Lid Scrub allergy eyelid cleanser, aimed at removing oil, debris, pollen, and other contaminants from the eyelids. This allergy eyelid cleanser addresses symptoms associated with seasonal allergies, including redness, itchiness, and irritation of the eyes and eyelids. For instance, in January 2022, OCuSOFT Inc., a US-based privately held eye and skincare company, introduced OCuSOFT Lid Scrub, specifically designed for allergy disorders. This product utilizes ingredients such as green tea extract, tea tree oil, and PHNG-2 (phytosphingosine) to effectively alleviate redness, inflammation, and itching of the eyelids. Its inclusion in the market is significant as it offers relief to individuals suffering from seasonal allergies, providing a soothing, calming, and moisturizing effect on inflamed and irritated eyelids.
In July 2023, CS Pharmaceuticals (CSP), a pharmaceutical company headquartered in the United Kingdom, completed the acquisition of AxeroVision for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition involved the transfer of AXR-270, a selective glucocorticoid receptor agonist, to CSP, granting the company exclusive rights to utilize the molecule in ophthalmology. It bolsters CSP's ophthalmology portfolio, particularly in addressing dry eye disease (DED). AxeroVision, based in the United States, specializes in developing innovative therapies and eye scrubs for treating dry eye disease.
