Market Trends of Corneal Topographers Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Corneal Topographers Market according to our research experts:
The Refractive Surgery Evaluation Segment is Expected to Hold the Largest Market Share in the Corneal topographers Market
- The refractive surgery evaluation segment is expected to witness the largest market revenue over the forecast period. This dominance is owing to the higher demand to meet the rise in the volume of unaddressed refractive error and corneal opacity cases globally. Furthermore, the rising adoption of cataract surgery as the standard treatment in restoring the vision for individuals with cataracts. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) global estimates for the year 2019, about 123.7 million people have vision impairment due to unaddressed refractive error, 65.2 million affected with cataract, 6.9 million with glaucoma and 4.2 million people with corneal opacities. On the other hand, the Cataract surgery evaluation segment is anticipated to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to the increased application of corneal topographers in the segment owing to the technological developments fueling the market revenue.
- Based on the end-user segment, the hospital segment accounts for the major share of the global ophthalmic diagnostics market during the forecast period due to an increase in new cases and a number of admissions in eye hospitals owing to eye disorders and rise in the elderly population with avoidable blindness. Also, the presence of a huge patient pool with a preference of treatment at hospitals with high disposable income and a rise in the purchasing power of hospitals in the emerging economies likely to drive the growth in this segment during the forecast period.
North America Dominates the Market and Expected to do Same in the Forecast Period.
North America is expected to dominate the overall corneal topographers market throughout the forecast period a steep rise in incidences of limbal dermoid, Corneal pterygium, and localized corneal scars along with rapid growth of elder population in the region. Furthermore, an increase in the investment by the key players and a huge pipeline of products in the ophthalmic devices sector along with a rise in approvals from the USFDA is expected to boost the growth of the market in the forecast period. For instance, according to the factsheet published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2019, about 2.2 billion people globally have a vision impairment or blindness and is expected to continue with rise in geriatric population due to age-related macular degeneration which directly drives for growth of the market in the region propelling the global corneal topographers market revenue.
