Numerous developments in technology

The science of ophthalmology has undergone a revolution thanks to ongoing technical breakthroughs and innovations in cataract surgery instruments. These developments have been crucial in propelling industry expansion. To improve the effectiveness and safety of cataract procedures, manufacturers are continuously investigating new materials, designs, and surgical methods. The advent of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), which offers accurate and repeatable incisions during the procedure, is one noteworthy development.

FLACS reduces the chance of problems and improves visual results by allowing the surgeon to execute different stages of cataract surgery with greater accuracy. Furthermore, individuals with cataracts now have more treatment options thanks to the advancement of high-quality intraocular lenses (IOLs). With the help of premium IOLs, patients may see clearly at various distances without the need for glasses because to features like multifocality, increased depth of focus, and astigmatism correction. For instance, Alcon introduced the AcrySof IQ Vivity IOL, a presbyopia-correcting intraocular lens (PC-IOL) with wavefront-shaping technology, in India in January 2022 for patients having cataract surgery.

Growing cataract prevalence and an aging population

One of the main variables affecting the market is the aging of the world's population. The risk of cataract development rises dramatically with age. The clouding of the natural lens of the eye causes cataracts, a common age-related eye disorder that impairs visual acuity and causes impaired vision. The number of people with cataract diagnoses is increasing as a result of people living longer than ever before.

Consequently, the need for cataract procedures and associated surgical equipment is increasing. In order to restore their vision and enhance their general quality of life, the senior population looks for safe and efficient treatment choices. Manufacturers have made large investments in research and development as a result of this demographic transition, which has produced sophisticated cataract surgical instruments that provide improved patient satisfaction, quicker recovery times, and better results.

The global prevalence rate of cataract-related visual impairment, for example, increased by 58.45% from 791.4 per 100,000 in 1990 to 1,253.9 per 100,000 in 2019, and the cataract-related disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rate increased by 32.18 percent from 65.3 per 100,000 in 1990 to 86.3 per 100,000 in 2019, according to a research study published in September 2021 by Xiaotong Han et al. This indicates that the number of cataracts and cataract-related illnesses is rising globally, which is driving up demand for cataract surgery devices for treatment.

Furthermore, a study by Konrad Pesudovs et al. estimates that in June 2021, 2020, 15.2 million people aged 50 and older were blind, and another 78.8 million had moderate to severe vision impairment (MSVI) from cataracts. Since 2000, the incidence of cataract blindness has increased by 29.7%, and the number of cases of MSVI has increased by 93.1 percent. Therefore, it is anticipated that the number of cataract surgery procedures would rise over time, propelling the market for cataract surgery devices throughout the forecast period.

Growing demand in developing nations

Another important aspect impacting the market is the rising demand for cataract surgical instruments in emerging economies. Cataract procedures are now more accessible in nations in Asia, Latin America, and Africa as healthcare infrastructure advances and disposable incomes rise. More people are seeking treatment for cataracts as a result of increased knowledge of eye health issues and easier access to healthcare services. To further address the burden of cataract-related vision impairment, governments and healthcare institutions in these areas are aggressively supporting eye health programs and providing subsidized cataract procedures. In addition to increasing the number of procedures, this proactive strategy has encouraged the use of cutting-edge cataract surgical equipment.

Regulatory hurdles

Strict approval procedures from organizations like the FDA and CE are among the regulatory obstacles in the cataract surgery device industry that might postpone market entry. Global distribution is further complicated by regionally specific legislation, and maintaining adherence to safety and efficacy requirements raises expenses. These obstacles impede prompt gadget development, uptake, and commercial expansion.

Cost and affordability

Affordability and cost are major obstacles in the market for cataract surgery devices. The high cost of advanced technology, like as femtosecond lasers and high-end intraocular lenses, restricts their availability for hospitals and clinics, particularly in developing nations. Furthermore, high-end gadgets might not be covered by insurance or payment rules, which could impede adoption and make it more difficult for patients to access the newest surgical choices.
