Intraocular Lens Market In India: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
The increasing prevalence of ophthalmic diseases is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as intense competition among manufacturers of intraocular lenses may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key India Intraocular Lens Market Driver
The increasing prevalence of ophthalmic diseases is notably driving the market growth. Around the world, there are more people with dry eyes than ever before, as well as more people with refractive errors, cataracts, glaucoma, retinal diseases like age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinal detachment, and diabetic retinopathy. Cataracts are among the most prevalent ophthalmic conditions in India. It is an ophthalmic condition that results in the clouding of the eye lens. The condition can cause blindness if cataract surgery is not received. The government of India gradually increased the number of cataract surgeries performed in India starting in 2022.
Glaucoma is also the second most common cause of blindness in the world. Age increases the prevalence of glaucoma. A major risk factor for visual impairment is aging. The percentage of the world's elderly population is anticipated to get double by 2050. Hence, this will contribute to the growth of the prevalence of ophthalmic diseases, which will drive the growth of the India IOL market in India during the forecast period.
Significant India Intraocular Lens Market Trend
The rising focus of vendors on strengthening their presence in emerging markets is the primary trend in the market. In emerging markets, such as India, the middle-class population is significantly expanding, creating a sizable, new customer base with increased access to ophthalmic goods and services as well as the financial means to pay for them. The demand for ophthalmology surgical devices is rising in emerging economies due to rising healthcare costs, rising disposable income, and improved healthcare infrastructure. Additionally, cutting-edge ophthalmic technologies, including premium intraocular lenses and cutting-edge techniques for cataract and glaucoma surgery, are now making inroads into emerging markets. Hence, there is a significant opportunity for the growth of the intraocular lens market in emerging markets.
Furthermore, the adoption of ophthalmology surgical devices will rise in developing nations like India, Brazil, and other places due to an increase in the number of eye care specialists and hospitals that focus exclusively on eye care, better access to cutting-edge technology, and rising patient awareness. As a result, suppliers of ophthalmology surgical devices are increasing their footprint in developing nations. During the forecast period, these factors are anticipated to accelerate the growth of the India IOL market.
Major India Intraocular Lens Market Challenge
Intense competition among the manufacturers of intraocular lenses is a major challenge impeding the market growth. Due to the presence of reputable vendors, the intraocular lens market in India is marked by fierce competition. Pricing is a strategy used by suppliers and manufacturers to maximize profits. Additionally, a variety of intraocular lenses are available from both international and regional vendors, and the design materials used may be similar. This leads to pricing wars, which have a negative impact on market growth during the forecast period.
To increase their profit margins, multinational corporations make significant investments in marketing, promotions, and product quality. However, price wars caused by the market's fierce competition force international vendors to reduce the average selling price (ASP) of their goods. This guarantees a large number of sales but has low-profit margins. Additionally, in order to remain competitive, manufacturers are under pressure to offer intraocular lenses at a reasonable price. Such actions have a negative impact on their profit margins, which has an adverse effect on the company's R&D spending. This will hinder the creation of innovative products for India intraocular lens market. These factors will hinder India IOL market growth in the region during the forecast period.

The monofocal intraocular lens segment was valued at USD 38.56 million in 2017 and continued to grow until 2021. Reading glasses would be used by the patient after traditional cataract surgeries to help focus both eyes on distant objects. Most cataract patients choose to have monofocal intraocular lenses placed in both eyes that are adjusted for distance vision, and they then use reading glasses to focus on objects that are closer to them. Premium intraocular lenses have a greater success rate and provide better visual function and greater spectacle independence than standard monofocal lenses. The major factors that drive the growth of the segment are the lower pricing of monofocal intraocular lenses than the premium ones and the presence of favorable government reimbursement policies. Such factors will positively impact the growth of the segment during the forecast period.
