The global ophthalmic handheld surgical instruments market size is expected to reach USD 3.37 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.1% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The rising prevalence of ocular disorders such as glaucoma, cataract, and refractive errors and increased adoption of advanced surgical instruments are the factors expected to drive the growth.
Increasing patient preference for treatment methods that provide long-term and immediate relief from symptoms is one of the primary factors driving the ophthalmic handheld surgical instruments market. In addition, the presence of several initiatives undertaken by the government and NGOs to conduct awareness programs and surgical outreach camps is anticipated to aid the market growth.
Rising preference for minimally invasive surgical options and rapid technological advancements are expected to replace traditional surgical techniques. Growing trends in ambulatory surgery centers and patient preference for a minimal hospital stay are the factors expected to boost the demand for advanced handheld surgical tools during the forecast period.
Obsolete technologies due to high competition and shortage of ophthalmic surgeons globally are some of the factors anticipated to impede the ophthalmic handled surgical instruments market growth. The shortage of ophthalmic surgeons means longer wait times and thereby people choose alternative treatment methods over ocular surgeries.
