Ophthalmic Devices Market Analysis By Product (Optical Coherence Tomography, Ophthalmic Ultrasound), By Application (Cataract, Glaucoma), By End Use (Hospitals and Eye Clinics) And Segment Forecasts, 2022 - 2030

Ophthalmic Devices Market Growth & Trends

The global ophthalmic devices market size is expected to reach USD 9.8 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2022 to 2030.

The rising geriatric population is presumed to propel the need for ophthalmic devices as this age group is more prone to the development of chronic eye disorders. According to the National Institute on Aging (NIA), the geriatric population would be about 72 million individuals by 2030. The rising prevalence of eye disorders such as macular degeneration, cataract, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma is also boosting the growth of ophthalmic devices.

As per WHO, glaucoma accounts for 4.5 million cases of blindness globally. In the United States, glaucoma is termed as the "Silent Thief of Sight," which is the second-leading cause of blindness. The market growth can also be attributed to technological advancements such as the development of intraocular lenses, fundus cameras, and OCT devices. Furthermore, the increasing involvement of market players in expanding treatment solutions through strategic alliances is expected to present this market with a potential growth platform

Approximately 10% of the people suffering from eye disorders are expected to experience loss of vision in spite of the proper treatment as per the statistics of the WHO, driving the clinical urgency to incorporate highly advanced ophthalmic devices. Furthermore, the rising demand for minimally invasive and complication-free operative surgeries is expected to upsurge the demand for ophthalmic devices. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the majority of the population's screen time has increased, resulting in a variety of eye issues, is projected to boost the market's growth. However, reduction in elective surgeries, closure of eye clinics, and the fear of viral spread, led to the reduction in the adoption of ophthalmic devices, declining the market growth.
