Additionally, limited access to specialized care in certain geographical areas can hinder market growth.
3. Stringent Regulatory Approval Process: The stringent regulatory approval process for new drugs and treatment modalities for veterinary eye care can pose a challenge for market growth. This process can result in delays in the introduction of new products to the market, limiting the availability of advanced treatment options for animals.
