The needs for effective treatment methods create a huge growth potential for development and commercialization of several surgical devices worldwide. Ophthalmology surgery devices market has been classified majorly into four major segments namely cataract, refractive, glaucoma and Vitreoretinal surgery devices market. The ophthalmic surgery devices market is expected to exhibit significant growth potential majorly owing to continuous evolution of minimally invasive surgical techniques followed by less intraoperative time consumption and minimal hospital stay. In addition, there has been a consistent rise in patient population being diagnosed for several ocular disorders such as cataract and glaucoma. According to a research report published by the Association of Optometrists sponsored by Bausch & Lomb, it has been projected that approximately 50 million people may become blind due to cataract by 2020. This rise in cataract population is anticipated to fuel the overall growth of the ophthalmology market.
With the advent of new and improved vision care products such as contact lenses and spectacles, has also aided in the proliferation of ophthalmology devices market. The major factors responsible for this growth have been referred to the increasing incidences of refractive disorders (myopia, hyperopia, etc.) and technological advances. The other factors favoring the growth of the market is extensive use of high end technologies involving use of software and computer aided devices and platforms. In addition, changing lifestyle and growing awareness of ophthalmological disorders have also reported to be some of the major contributors for the growth of this industry. Drug eluting contact lenses and vitamin E infused contact lenses are some of the examples of technologically advanced contact lenses.
At the regional level, North America was the largest market in the year 2012 valued at USD 8,037.9 million for ophthalmology devices market followed by Europe market (29.4%). According to the data enlisted by the U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the year 2013, there are around 20.5 million Americans aged above 40 years are affected by cataract and around USD 3.4 billion is spent by federal governments to treat cataracts through Medicare. This elucidates the increased need and demand of ophthalmology devices market in this region. Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow at a highest CAGR of 8.9 % throughout the forecast period from 2013 to 2019. This is majorly due to increased efforts of respective nation's governments to improve healthcare infrastructure and growing disposable incomes of middle class population. Moreover, increased investments by key market players in the emerging economies and high growth potential will further favor the growth in this region.
Ophthalmology devices market has been characterized by the presence of well-established as well as new entrants solely operating in this market.
