Ophthalmology Surgical Devices Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increasing prevalence of ophthalmic diseases is notably driving the eye care surgical devices market growth, although factors such as high cost and limited reimbursements may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the ophthalmology surgical devices industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Ophthalmology Surgical Devices Market Driver
One of the key factors driving growth in the eye care surgical devices market is the global prevalence of various ophthalmic disorders. The growing prevalence of ophthalmic disorders such as refractive error, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy, among others, across the world is one of the factors that have propelled the demand for ophthalmic surgical devices and is driving the growth of the market. In terms of geographical differences, the prevalence of these above-mentioned ophthalmic disorders in low and middle-income economies is estimated to be four times higher than compared in high-income regions. The growing geriatric population is one of the prominent reasons which is propelling the demand for the ophthalmology industry. Thus, the growing prevalence of age-related ocular disorders has generated significant opportunities in the field of ophthalmic surgeries. These factors will drive the growth of the global ophthalmology surgical devices market during the forecast period.
Key Ophthalmology Surgical Devices Market Trend
The strategic initiative of market players is an eye care surgical devices market trend that is expected to have a positive impact in the coming years. The global ophthalmology surgical devices market is highly competitive. Vendors in the market adopt strategies such as new product launches, collaborations, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions (M and A), and expansion projects to tackle the competition in the market. Vendors invest in developing innovative ophthalmology surgical devices to increase their foothold in the market. Moreover, intense competition in the market is expected to compel established vendors to increase their market presence through partnerships and strategic alliances. The key strategies used by these market vendors focus on launching new innovative surgical products to treat ocular diseases such as glaucoma, cataract, macular degeneration, and refractive errors. These strategic initiatives of market vendors are helping them enhance their operations and increase their geographical presence. Thus, such activities will drive the growth of the global eye care surgical devices market during the forecast period.
Key Ophthalmology Surgical Devices Market Challenge
The high cost of healthcare will be a major challenge for the eye care surgical devices market during the forecast period. Developed nations such as the US, Canada, and the UK, have high healthcare costs. The US has a very expensive healthcare system when compared to other nations. The high cost of healthcare in these developed countries prevents patients from seeking surgical treatment for ophthalmic disorders, such as refractive error, cataracts, glaucoma, corneal opacities, diabetic retinopathy, and trachoma, among others. Additionally, in developing countries such as India, China, Brazil, Argentina, and others, due to the lack of financial resources and the low per capita income, many people cannot bear the high costs associated with the surgical treatment of ophthalmic disorders. The absence of proper healthcare infrastructure and the low level of government aid received in medical expense reimbursements further pose a challenge for patients in these countries.
This eye care surgical devices market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.
