Ocular Trauma Devices Market Report 2025

The ocular trauma devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.6 billion in 2024 to $3.88 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the emergence of smart and robotic-assisted surgery, the increasing incidence of ocular injuries, enhanced trauma response protocols in hospitals, greater awareness of vision preservation after trauma, and the rising number of military and combat-related eye injuries.

The ocular trauma devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.16 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the expanded use of ophthalmic trauma devices in pediatric cases, a growing aging population, increased urbanization and industrialization, higher rates of sports participation, a rise in road traffic accidents, and the growth of medical tourism in ophthalmology. Major trends in the forecast period include customized ocular implants created through 3D printing, advancements in biomaterials, improvements in surgical devices, progress in microincision technology, and strategic collaborations and acquisitions among device manufacturers.

The rising prevalence of eye-related disorders and injuries is expected to drive the growth of the ocular trauma devices market moving forward. Eye-related disorders and injuries encompass a variety of medical conditions and physical traumas that impact the structure or function of the eye. The increase in these disorders is largely attributed to extended screen time, as prolonged use of digital devices causes eye strain, dry eyes, and a higher incidence of myopia, especially among younger individuals. Ocular trauma devices assist in managing eye disorders by facilitating accurate diagnosis, effective surgical treatment, and targeted intervention for injury-related conditions, helping to preserve or restore vision and prevent further complications. For example, in August 2023, Prevent Blindness, a US-based volunteer organization focused on eye health and safety, reported that over 32,000 sports-related eye injuries were treated in the United States in 2022, representing nearly a 20% increase from the previous year. Hence, the growing prevalence of eye disorders and injuries is propelling the expansion of the ocular trauma devices market.

Leading companies in the ocular trauma devices market are focusing on innovative solutions such as single-use graft insertion devices to minimize the risk of cross-contamination, improve surgical accuracy, and streamline ophthalmic procedures, thereby enhancing patient outcomes and operational efficiency in clinical environments. Single-use graft insertion devices are sterile, disposable instruments used in eye surgeries to safely and precisely place grafts, reducing infection risk and ensuring consistent surgical performance. For instance, in April 2022, CorneaGen, a US-based supplier of corneal transplant tissues, introduced the EndoSerter-PL, an FDA-approved, single-use graft insertion device pre-loaded with expertly prepared Nano-Thin or Ultra-Thin DSEK donor tissue. This innovative tool serves both as a shipping container and surgical instrument, enabling surgeons to perform DSEK procedures more efficiently by saving preparation time and minimizing handling of delicate endothelial cells. The EndoSerter-PL facilitates consistent allograft placement through a small 4 mm incision without needing additional tools or sutures, simplifying surgery and improving patient outcomes.

In April 2024, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, a Germany-based medical technology company, acquired the Dutch Ophthalmic Research Center (D.O.R.C.) for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Carl Zeiss to expand its ophthalmic medical device portfolio by incorporating D.O.R.C.’s advanced vitreo-retinal surgical systems and instruments, offering ophthalmic surgeons a broader range of solutions for treating retinal disorders, ocular trauma, cataracts, glaucoma, and corneal diseases. The Dutch Ophthalmic Research Center, based in the Netherlands, specializes in innovative surgical devices and technologies for vitreoretinal and ophthalmic surgeries and manufactures ocular trauma devices.

The ocular trauma devices market consists of sales of eye irrigation shields, ophthalmic surgical instruments, vitrectomy devices, tamponade balloons, and intraocular lenses. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD, unless otherwise specified).

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.
