Moreover, the shortage of skilled ophthalmologists and eye care professionals hinders the effective utilization of sophisticated equipment, especially in underserved areas. Economic uncertainties and fluctuations also impact investment decisions in the healthcare sector, affecting the adoption of ophthalmic equipment.

 

Market Segmentation

• In 2022, the optical coherence tomography segment accounted for around 24.3% market share

On the basis of the product, the optical coherence tomography (OCT) segment's dominance in the ophthalmic equipment market can be attributed to its exceptional diagnostic capabilities and widespread applications. OCT technology provides non-invasive, high-resolution imaging of the eye's internal structures, enabling precise diagnosis of various ocular conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Its real-time imaging and ability to capture cross-sectional images make it an indispensable tool for ophthalmologists. Additionally, continuous advancements, such as spectral-domain OCT and swept-source OCT, have further enhanced its diagnostic accuracy. As a result of its effectiveness and versatility, the OCT segment has accounted for the largest revenue share in the market.

 

• The cataract segment held the largest market in 2022, revenue share of around 37.4%

Based on the application, the global ophthalmic equipment market is segmented into cataract, vitreo retinal disorders, glaucoma, and refractor disorders. The cataract segment's dominance in the ophthalmic devices market can be attributed to the high prevalence of cataract-related issues globally. Cataracts are one of the leading causes of visual impairment and blindness, particularly in the aging population. As the elderly population continues to grow, the demand for cataract surgery and related ophthalmic devices, such as phacoemulsification systems and intraocular lenses, has significantly increased. Moreover, advancements in surgical techniques and the availability of premium intraocular lenses have further boosted the market for cataract-related devices.
