The global ophthalmic diagnostic equipment market is poised for steady growth, with projections estimating a market value of USD 4,851.00 million by 2034. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.50% from 2024, when the market is expected to be valued at USD 3,439.00 million.
The growth of the ophthalmic diagnostic equipment market is largely driven by the increasing global prevalence of eye-related conditions, such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. As the aging population expands and the demand for advanced diagnostic tools grows, healthcare providers are investing in cutting-edge ophthalmic devices to offer more accurate and efficient diagnoses.
Key Takeaways:
- The number of individuals suffering from serious eye diseases is rising at a global level due to which loss of vision is becoming a major public health problem. As the population has increased, the prevalence of eye diseases has also surged due to the rise in chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension have become more common leading to issues like glaucoma or vision impairment.
- There is an increase in the number of people who are blind or have impaired vision in the upcoming years. With the rising frequency of eye disorders and the resulting increase in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), demand for precise disease treatment is likely to increase in the future years.
- Increasing technological advancements in analytical methods help in offering improved quantification and characterization with high-resolution cross-sectional 3D images of the target tissue that is difficult to view using a conventional microscope. Owing to such high-tech equipment, the surge in the ophthalmic diagnostic equipment market can be witnessed.
- The emergence of advancement in technologies have provided improved quantification and Intraoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) aids accurate decision-making during eye surgery by providing real-time imaging with simultaneous feedback features.
- An increase in the demand for optical coherence topography devices has led to a rise in competition among players. As a strategy to reach the larger masses, various players/manufacturers have lowered the costs of their devices, which in turn has led to the adoption of these devices by doctors in emerging economies along with developed countries. This factor is anticipated to drive demand for these devices in emerging economies in near future.
Competitive Landscape
The ophthalmic diagnostic equipment market is intensely competitive due to the presence of Carl Zeiss, Meditec AG, and Topcon Corporation.
