Ophthalmic Lasers Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Femtosecond Lasers, Diode Lasers, Excimer Lasers and Other Products), Application (Cataract Removal, Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy, Refractive Error Corrections and Other Applications), End User and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Ophthalmic Lasers Market is accounted for $1375.07 million in 2022 and is expected to reach $2029.14 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period. Ophthalmic lasers are tools that enable precision therapy for a variety of eye issues with little danger of infection. Numerous laser operations can be done without anaesthesia and with little to no pain. Ophthalmic lasers are a particularly helpful instrument in the field of ophthalmology due to its combination of safety, accuracy, and relative affordability. The laser console, the foot pedal, and the laser delivery system are the three main elements of a laser system. The laser energy can be delivered to the patient's eye using a variety of delivery devices that are linked to the console by a fibre optic cable.
According to the study, women were 24% more likely than men to develop myopia as children, but they were 12% less likely to do so as adults. It's unclear why this is the case, but it could be because men and women endure different hormonal shifts or different lifestyles.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Prevalence of Ophthalmic Disorders
The rise in prevalence of ophthalmic disorders such as refractive errors, age-related macular degeneration, cataract, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma, among others across the globe, is one of the major factors driving the growth of ophthalmic lasers market. Moreover, inclination towards minimally invasive procedures and innovations in ophthalmic will propel the demand in ophthalmic laser machines market. Further, growing need for maintaining proper eye health will drive growth in the global ophthalmic lasers market.
Restraint:
Availability of Alternative Therapies
The availability of alternative therapies for vision correction is expected to hinder the ophthalmic medical lasers market. The alternatives for lasers in ophthalmology include using a lens for correcting the vision using techniques such as Phakic Intraocular Lens Implants, and Refractive Lens Exchange Surgery. According to the statistics by the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS), patients who choose to have a standard IOL procedure, which is considered safe for cataract surgery, experience fully restored vision. Therefore, the availability of alternative therapies to correct vision is expected to hamper the ophthalmic medical lasers market.
Opportunity:
Efficiency of ophthalmic lasers in the treatment of ocular diseases
Age-related glaucoma, cataract, myopia, and other eye illnesses affect a considerable patient base, particularly the older population. Because medications are only moderately effective in treating certain eye conditions, there is a growing market for medical devices, such as ophthalmic lasers, to treat eye conditions. The world health organization estimates that 18 million people worldwide are blind on both sides as a result of cataract. Additionally, a significant patient population experiences refractive problems like myopia, extreme myopia, and presbyopia which are providing wide range of opportunities to the market.
Threat:
High Cost
Numerous unfortunate circumstances caused by the poor supervision of medical professionals have occurred, undermining user confidence. For instance, accidents brought on by looking steadily into the light might irreversibly harm the eye and cause partial or complete blindness. Additionally, when a laser beam is projected into somebody's unprotected eyes, damage can result. Likewise, there is a list of persons who are frequently discouraged from receiving such therapies taken as a whole they represent a sizable portion of potential clients hindering the market growth.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 outbreak had a contradictory effect on the market for ophthalmic lasers. Significant healthcare treatments were postponed during the pandemic to decrease the likelihood of corona virus transmission. Major health treatments were postponed during the pandemic to reduce the chance of corona virus transmission. However, due to the easing of regulations after COVID, an increase in ophthalmic treatments is anticipated. Such hindrances are affecting the growth of the ophthalmic lasers market.
The femtosecond lasers segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The femtosecond lasers segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth; due to their infrared laser with incredibly little pulse duration is the femtosecond laser. The femtosecond laser can deliver laser energy with little collateral harm to the surrounding tissue because of its brief pulse duration. The femtosecond laser is also exceptional in that it may be directed anywhere inside or below the cornea and can partially pass through optically cloudy media, like an edematous cornea which are boosting the market growth.
The cataract removal segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The cataract removal segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to its ease on making incision and lens opening are made fragmented using a laser. This procedure produces a more dependable, reproducible, and exact incision than can be achieved by hand. Even a skilled surgeon cannot create a perfectly round aperture with the same level of precision as a laser. Doctors can do that because of the laser's accuracy and reliability in making incisions which leads to a better and more predictable vision outcome. Therefore, all the above factors are driving the market growth.
Region with highest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the development of the R&D sector, an increase in healthcare reforms, and scientific developments in the field of ophthalmology. Asia-Pacific ophthalmic lasers market, primarily as a result of improvements in the healthcare infrastructure, an increase in the number of hospitals with cutting-edge equipment. Furthermore, technological advancements in ophthalmic laser systems and expansion of ophthalmic diagnostic equipment market will further aid ophthalmic laser manufacturers to increase the growth of the market
Region with highest CAGR:
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to a substantial share of the worldwide market for ophthalmic lasers, and it is anticipated that it will continue to hold this dominance during the forecast period. This is attributed to a rise in the number of ophthalmic disabilities, an increase in the demand for patient safety devices, the accessibility of cutting-edge healthcare facilities with skilled healthcare workers, an increase in the number of Research and development activities along with a notable presence of crucial players, and an increase in government investment in the healthcare system thereby propelling the market growth.
