Ophthalmic Handheld Surgical Instruments Market Analysis

The Ophthalmic Handheld Surgical Instruments Market size is estimated at USD 2.62 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 3.14 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 3.70% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The increasing prevalence of eye conditions and disorders, such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration, fuels the demand for ophthalmic surgeries and, consequently, the need for advanced handheld surgical instruments.

As individuals age, they become more susceptible to conditions like cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Consequently, the population experiencing vision loss is on the rise. World Health Organization data released in October 2024 highlights a significant demographic shift: from 2015 to 2050, the percentage of the global population aged over 60 is set to surge from 12% to 22%. This demographic change is alarming, especially given the sharp rise in vision loss prevalence with advancing age. 

Consequently, the number of cataract surgeries is also increasing, such as recently, the Guardian published one news in June 2024, which revealed that in the Royal College of Ophthalmologists, United Kingdom, the number of cataract treatments has jumped by nearly 40% from pre-pandemic levels. This increase translates to an additional 200,000 individuals annually undergoing cataract procedures through the National Health Service. These increasing aging population coupled with eye diseases like cataract has spurred an uptick in surgical procedures, fueling the demand for ophthalmic handheld surgical instruments. 

Additionally technological advancements in materials, design, and manufacturing processes lead to the development of more advanced and ergonomic ophthalmic handheld surgical instruments, enhancing surgical outcomes and driving market growth. For instance, in March 2022, New World Medical launched STREAMLINE surgical system. STREAMLINE, a single-use device featuring the intuitive ClickPulse technology, is a first-line implant-free system designed to create precise goniotomies in the trabecular meshwork and deliver small amounts of ophthalmic viscosurgical device into the canal of schlemm in one step. Such development of advanced product accelerate the treatment of glaucoma and this drive the market growth.

Thus, the rising prevalence of eye disorders, including cataracts and age-related macular degeneration, along with a growing number of surgeries and the introduction of innovative products, is propelling market growth during the forecast period.

Ophthalmic Handheld Surgical Instruments Market Trends

Cataract Surgery is Expected to Dominate Ophthalmic Handheld Surgical Instruments Market

Cataract surgery has captured a significant share of the market revenue, a trend anticipated to persist throughout the forecast period. Several factors drive this growth: a surge in cataract cases necessitating surgery, a rise in new product launches, and ongoing technological advancements in these devices.

Notably, cataract surgery is the foremost treatment for cataract patients, playing a crucial role in vision restoration. The increasing prevalence of cataracts, especially in the aging population, has led to a surge in demand for surgical procedures. Recently, In June 2024, Alcon's cataract survey revealed that approximately 31 million cataract surgeries are projected to be performed worldwide by the end of 2024.

Moreover, product launches highlighting improved outcomes from cataract surgeries are boosting the demand for handheld surgical instruments used in these procedures. For instance, in June 2024, Alcon also received United States FDA approval for the Unity Vitreoretinal Cataract System and Unity Cataract System and is planning to launch it in 2025. The approval introduces cutting-edge solutions for ophthalmic surgeons, encouraging more adoption in surgical centers. As more surgeons and clinics adopt these systems, there will be a proportional increase in the demand for complementary surgical instruments in cataract surgery, and this drive segment growth.

Furthermore, government initiatives aimed at aiding those affected by cataracts are set to propel the growth of this segment. For example, in May 2022, the Indian central government unveiled a three-year campaign targeting the backlog in cataract surgeries and addressing severe visual impairments. These initiatives are poised to foster an environment conducive to market expansion.

Thus, increasing in number of cataract surgeries worldwide, product approval and favourable government initiatives to encourage cataract surgeries are likey to drive the segment growth during the forecast period.

Ophthalmic Handheld Surgical Instruments Market: Worldwide Estimated Cataract Surgeries (In Million), 2024-2029

Asia Pacific is Expected to Witness High Growth in Ophthalmic Handheld Surgical Instruments Market

The Asia-Pacific region is poised to witness a high demand for ophthalmic handheld surgical instruments due to the rising prevalence of eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. This trend increases the demand for ophthalmic surgeries and specialized instruments to address these conditions effectively.

The number of patients seeking eye surgery to treat conditions like myopia also drives the market's growth. For instance, a report published by ChinaDaily in August 2024 highlighted a rising trend among young Chinese adults opting for surgical procedures to correct their vision. The report further noted that Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital, China, conducted approximately 2,000 refractive operations monthly in June and July 2024, marking a twofold increase from earlier in the year.

Moreover, according to the National Health Portal of India in March 2022, glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in India, with at least 12 million people affected and nearly 1.2 million people blind from the disease. Thus, the number of patients in India suffering from glaucoma is increasing with the growing population. Such patients undergo surgery to treat glaucoma and are contributing to the rising demand for ophthalmic handheld surgical instruments.

Hence due to the aforementioned factors, such as increasing prevalence of eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, rising preferense of surgeries to correct vision are some factors that drive the region's growth during the forecast period of the study.
