Ophthalmic Surgical Devices Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Surgery Type (Cataract Surgery Devices, Vitreoretinal Surgery Devices, Refractive Error Surgery Devices, Glaucoma Surgery Devices), By End-user (Hospitals, Ophthalmic Clinics, Others), and Regional Forecast, 2019-2032

The global ophthalmic surgical devices market size stood at USD 8.79 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 17.70 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period.

Among ocular disorders, cataract is one of the most common types characterized by clouding of the lens which causes blurred vision. Cataract and glaucoma are some of the leading causes of blindness among the aged population. Symptoms of cataract include blurred vision, difficulty in reading, glare, visual changes, eye redness, and others. In order to correct the blurred vision, cataract surgeries are performed where the defective lens is replaced with an artificial one. Another type of ophthalmic disorders includes refractive errors. Laser surgery corrects refractive errors. The most common laser surgery adopted is LASIK. Increasing aging population, rising prevalence of diabetes that causes glaucoma, and increasing use of technology leading to refractive errors are some of the predominant factors leading to the rising prevalence of ophthalmic disorders. High adoption of intraocular lenses due to an exponentially increasing number of cataract surgeries is a prominent factor boosting the ophthalmic equipment and ophthalmic surgical devices market during the forecast period.

MARKET DRIVERS

“Rising Prevalence of Cataract and Glaucoma to Augment Market Growth”

Rising prevalence of cataract and glaucoma globally is significantly projected to drive the ophthalmic surgical equipment market growth during the forecast period. For example, according to recent estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO), around 20 million people across the globe suffer from cataract. Additionally, in a report published by the National Ophthalmology Database (U.K) in 2017 estimates that there are currently half a million people suffering from glaucoma. High prevalence of these ocular disorders is generating significant opportunities in the field of ophthalmic surgeries, which will eventually bolster the growth of this market over the forecast years. Additionally, increasing awareness and accessibility to ophthalmic devices and ophthalmic surgical instruments combined with developing healthcare infrastructure in emerging nations are projected to drive the ophthalmic surgical devices market trends. Awareness regarding advanced ophthalmic diagnostic devices and surgical equipment is also increasing, leading to a higher awareness and incidence rate of ocular diseases.

According to AGS Health in Aging Foundation, in 2019, one in five adults over the age of 65 developed a cataract. Increasing geriatric population is one of the prominent reasons which is augmenting the ophthalmic surgical instrument market growth during the forecast period.

“Increasing Innovations in Glaucoma and Cataract Surgery to Positively Impact the Demand for Ophthalmic Surgical Devices”

Major players operating in the ophthalmic surgical devices industry are constantly trying to introduce innovative surgical products to treat ocular diseases such as glaucoma, cataract, macular degeneration, and refractive errors. For instance, Alcon in 2018 received U.S FDA approval for CyPass Micro-Stent, a micro-invasive glaucoma surgical device (MIGS). MIGS devices are estimated to efficiently treat glaucoma, making it easier for patients suffering from side effects caused due to steroids indicated to treat glaucoma. Additionally, there are many pipeline MIGS products under development by major players to treat glaucoma and cataract. Such innovations are estimated to drive the ophthalmic surgical devices market demand during the forecast period.
