Global Ophthalmic Devices Market is Expected to Grow at a CAGR of 6.5% During the Forecast Year Till 2027

The global ophthalmic devices market valued at market size of USD 38,120.4 Million in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 57,571.4 Million by 2027. The global ophthalmic devices market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% over the forecast period.



Ophthalmology is a branch of medical field that studies the structure, function, and eyes related diseases. Ophthalmic devices are medical devices used for vision correction, surgery, and diagnosis. Due to the rising cases of various ophthalmic disorders such as glaucoma, cataracts, and other vision-related issues, these devices have gained popularity in the recent years.

Ophthalmic devices market is a highly fragmented, with the presence of international and local players across various regions. This results in increased competition in the market. Market players are continuously focusing on development of technologically advanced ophthalmic devices, to ensure early detection of eye-diseases.

Growth Influencers

Growing prevalence of eye related issues and disorders

The need for eye care is anticipated to increase dramatically in the coming decades across the globe, posing a considerable challenge to health systems. Continuous increase in the number of eye related issues and loss of eyesight has become a global concern. The rising cases of chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension has aided in the spread of eye problems. As per World Health Organization (WHO), globally at least 2.2 billion people have a vision impairment or blindness, of whom at least 1 billion have a vision impairment that could have been prevented or has yet to be addressed. Tens of millions have a severe vision impairment and could benefit from rehabilitation which they are not currently receiving. Due to this, governments of various countries are taking necessary steps to improve the eye facilities, which in turn is expected to drive the demand for ophthalmic devices at a huge pace, in the forthcoming years.

Increased adoption of advanced technologies is anticipated to promote the market growth

Remarkable advancements have been made in the technology being used by ophthalmologists across all the globe. These technological advancements are improving the outcomes through simplification of treatment procedures for eye illness for curing incurable disorders. Huge investments are also being made to develop more advanced technologies and devices which is expected to boost the demand for ophthalmic devices in the forthcoming years.

High cost of ophthalmic devices is restraining the market growth

High cost of ophthalmic devices is one of the most crucial factors, restraining the market growth. Whereas, dearth of skilled professionals in developing countries is anticipated to create a hindrance in the market growth.
