[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Samchundang Pharmaceutical announced on the 18th that it has made its first export related to a single-use glaucoma treatment contracted with its European partner, OMNIVISION.


Samchundang Pharmaceutical expects regular exports to be made every 1 to 2 months following this first shipment. In particular, as demand for single-use glaucoma treatments is increasing in Europe, the volume of future exports is expected to continue to grow.


In 2018, Samchundang Pharmaceutical signed an export contract for single-use glaucoma treatments. At the time of the contract, the expected annual sales were 10 billion KRW, but considering the recent surge in market demand, it is now predicted to be around 20 billion KRW, which accounts for approximately 20% of Samchundang Pharmaceutical's sales.



A representative from Samchundang Pharmaceutical stated, “We are making every effort to achieve visible results within the year for other ongoing projects besides generic eye drops.”
