What strategic initiatives by market players are driving ophthalmic surgical instruments industry growth?
The increasing incidence of eye diseases is expected to propel the growth of the ophthalmic surgical instruments market going forward. The increasing incidence of eye diseases is due to aging populations, lifestyle factors such as increased screen time, and environmental influences such as pollution. Ophthalmic surgical instruments are used to diagnose, treat, and manage various eye disorders by performing precise procedures on the eye’s delicate structures. For instance, in May 2024, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based government agency, in 2024, 17.2% of Americans aged 40 and older, or about 20.5 million people, will have cataracts in at least one eye, with this number expected to rise to over 30 million by 2028. Therefore, the increasing incidence of eye diseases is driving the growth of the ophthalmic surgical instruments market.
