Several factors such as a rising geriatric population and increased focus on healthcare are driving the global market for ophthalmic devices, which was valued at US$12.92 bn in 2011 and is estimated to expand at a healthy CAGR of 5.10% to reach a global valuation of US$18.28 bn by 2018.
Ophthalmic Devices Market: Trends and Opportunities
One of the primary factors for the upward trend in the ophthalmic devices market is the rising geriatric population. It is observed that the aged are more prone to developing eye-related disorders, such as glaucoma and dry eye, and are the target customers of ophthalmic device manufacturers. Moreover, several emerging economies in Asia Pacific are increasingly investing on healthcare infrastructure and promoting awareness about these common disorders which in turn is aiding the regional market for ophthalmic devices. The market growth is also boosted by continuous advancements in the field of medical technology to develop novel products that are more efficient and accurate.
One of the primary restraints in the growth of the global market for ophthalmic devices is high cost of some devices, particularly those that are exported. Additionally, the lack of skilled professionals, especially in the rural regions of emerging economies, is another prime concern for manufacturers.
Global Ophthalmic Devices Market: Region-wise Outlook
Among North American countries in 2011, the U.S. held the largest share in the market for ophthalmic devices across all segments, followed by the U.K. which lead the European region. These two western country markets are experiencing rigorous competition due to mushrooming local device manufacturers while prominent players with higher market penetration levels are focusing more on devices with diagnosis and surgery applications.
