The vitreoretinal surgery devices market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•The market size for vitreoretinal surgery devices has seen consistent growth in the past few years. The market is projected to grow from $2.05 billion in 2024 to $2.15 billion in 2025, indicating a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.9%.
The growth in this sector during the historic period is due to factors like a rise in retinal disorders, an increase in the aging population, progress in surgical methods, a higher diabetic population, and a general preference among patients for minimally invasive surgeries.
The vitreoretinal surgery devices market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, a noticeable increase in the size of the vitreoretinal surgery devices market is anticipated, with an expected growth to "$2.73 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%.
This expansion in the projection period can be credited to the consistent growth in the elderly demographics, rising prevalence of retinal diseases, enhancements in surgical tools, escalating diabetes crisis, and enlargement of the healthcare infrastructure. Key trends projected for this period encompass the concentration on retinal imaging technologies, advancements in intraocular tamponades, breakthroughs in laser systems, personalization and patient-centric strategies, along with the incorporation of artificial intelligence.
The anticipated surge in the cases of eye disorders is predicted to fuel the expansion of the vitreoretinal surgery device market in the future. Eye disorders, both non-neoplastic and neoplastic in nature, heavily affect the eye. The use of vitreoretinal surgery devices proves highly beneficial in treating various eye diseases including macular degeneration, cataracts, diabetic-related retinopathy, glaucoma, and retinal detachment. As revealed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based federal agency, in December 2022, an estimated 12 million individuals aged 40 or older in the United States are predicted to suffer from vision impairment. Out of this group, around 1 million individuals are expected to be blind, 3 million are predicted to develop it despite proper vision correction, and around 8 million might acquire it from uncorrected refractive error. Consequently, the escalating numbers of eye disorders contribute to the growth of the vitreoretinal surgery device market.
