Global Ophthalmology Devices Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The global ophthalmology devices market is estimated to be worth USD 58.91 billion by 2029 from USD 45.08 billion in 2024, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period.

An ophthalmology device is used to diagnose and treat various eye diseases. Ophthalmologists and optometrists use various ophthalmology equipment during treatment procedures. Slit-lamp microscope, fundus camera, tonometer, retinal scanner, and ocular coherence tomography are some ophthalmology devices. Considering the growing population suffering from various eye diseases worldwide, the need for ophthalmology devices is expected to grow in the coming years. These devices provide high accuracy, personalized medicine, and patient comfort, so the adoption of these is growing in all parts of the world.

Global Ophthalmology Devices Market Drivers:

The growing aging population worldwide is expected to drive the ophthalmology devices market growth. With growing age, people are much more likely to face vision problems and eye-related diseases. This increasing incidence of eye diseases among the aging population promotes the demand for ophthalmology devices. In addition, in some situations, the aged population undergoes surgeries to correct vision issues. The growing number of ophthalmology surgeries being performed worldwide is fuelling the need for the ophthalmology devices market. According to the statistics published by WHO, 1.4 billion people are expected to be 60 or more by 2030. 

The growing patient count suffering from various eye diseases propels the ophthalmology devices marketEye disease prevalence is increasing worldwide. Age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy are some of the common eye diseases. As the World Health Organization (WHO) mentioned, around 196 million people suffer from age-related macular degeneration, which is expected to reach 288 million by 2040. In addition, the rising prevalence of diabetes is expected to contribute to the ophthalmology devices market growth. IDF Diabetes Atlas says an estimated 463 million adults had diabetes in 2019, and it is predicted to reach 783 million by 2045.

In addition, the increasing adoption of technological advancements in ophthalmology treatments contributes to the growth of the global ophthalmology devices market. Recent years have seen ophthalmology devices as one of the fastest-growing medical device markets. Ophthalmology has benefited in recent years from increased spending on healthcare, government investments, and the continual advancement of medicine. As the medical world's most rapidly growing sector, the ophthalmology devices market is increasing demand for solutions to improve the lives of millions. There is a tremendous opportunity in the global ophthalmic devices market due to the increasing prevalence of aging and ocular disease, which includes cataracts, and refractive and glaucoma surgeries, among other things. Growing awareness among individuals and rapid approvals will likely sustain the growth soon. Furthermore, the shortage of ophthalmology device providers in existing economies and the rise in age-related eye diseases create more opportunities for the industry to grow significantly in the coming years.

Global Ophthalmology Devices Market Restraints:

High costs of ophthalmology devices are one of the key factors hampering the market growth. In addition, some countries lack reimbursement policies and stringent regulatory requirements, and competition from alternative treatments is expected to hinder market growth. Furthermore, factors such as the lack of healthcare insurance in emerging countries, a lack of awareness among individuals about diseases such as glaucoma, and poor healthcare infrastructure are anticipated to impede market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global ophthalmology devices market:

An international public health challenge has arisen due to the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, a novel coronavirus. The decisions that various governments have taken to curb the virus spread, such as lockdowns, travel bans, and social distancing, have resulted in the postponement of elective surgeries, including ophthalmology surgeries, and reduced demand for ophthalmology devices. In addition, supply chains have been disrupted, and the shortage of supplies has affected all sectors. Furthermore, the ophthalmologist is at high risk for infection due to the proximity of ophthalmologists to patients when diagnosing patients. Therefore, in practices such as teleophthalmology, guidelines have been imposed by the government. However, considering the reduced impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ophthalmology devices market is anticipated to showcase a healthy CAGR during the forecast period.

This research report on the global ophthalmology devices market has been segmented & sub-segmented based on application, type of disorder, device, and region.

Global Ophthalmology Devices Market - By Type of Disorder:

  • Cataract
  • Glaucoma
  • Refractor Disorders
  • Vitreo Retinal Disorder

The cataract segment held the most significant share of the global ophthalmology devices market in 2023, and the domination of the segment is expected to continue during the forecast period. The increasing employment of ophthalmology devices for cataract surgeries primarily drives the segment's growth. For instance, an estimated 20.5 million cataract surgeries were recorded in 2019, estimated to reach 24.4 million by 2040.

On the other hand, the refractor disorders segment is anticipated to occupy a significant share of the global ophthalmology devices market during the forecast period. The increasing patient population suffering from myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism drives the segment's growth rate. In addition, the growing adoption of technological developments in manufacturing ophthalmology devices for refractor disorders and the growing focus of manufacturers to manufacture cost-effective ophthalmology devices are further propelling the segment's growth rate.
