Eye care in Iraq records strong growth in 2026, supported by rising awareness of eye health, greater adoption of preventive care and continued exposure to environmental stressors such as pollution and sandstorms. Standard eye care remains the largest area of the category, while allergy eye care benefits from growing environmental sensitivities and changing consumer needs. Demand is increasingly supported by consumers seeking both immediate relief and longer-term protection against worsening eye conditions. The market continues to attract a diverse consumer base, ranging from price-sensitive Iraqi households seeking affordable daily-use solutions to higher-income consumers investing in preventive eye care and specialised supplements. Products such as Hyfresh and Vial Tears maintain strong consumer loyalty, although increasing supplier participation continues to intensify competition and broaden product choice across the category. Looking ahead, population growth, urbanisation and rising awareness of eye health are expected to support further expansion. Growing interest in prevention and long-term eye care is set to reinforce demand for both everyday treatment and specialised support products, sustaining category growth over the forecast period.
