Global Cataract Surgery Device Market Scenario:
The global cataract surgery market is experiencing an upturn and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.5% over the forecast period of 2016-2022, reveals Market Research Future (MRFR) in a recently published research report. The global visual impairment population is increasing gradually which is the primary driving force behind the growth of the global cataract surgery device market. Increasing prevalence of eye disorders, especially cataract which necessitates surgery and, in turn, drives the market for cataract surgery device market. The gradual rise in global geriatric population is also estimated to be a positive driving force for market growth. The aging populace is more prone to developing cataract, and the demographic shift in developed countries towards older age will lead to an increased rate of cataract surgeries.
The economic upsurge in developing countries has directed the government’s attention towards control and prevention of eye diseases, which has reflected positively on the growth of the market. In addition, development of minimally invasive surgical techniques and high-tech ophthalmic surgical devices have propelled the growth of the global cataract surgery device market. The emergence of laser cataract surgery has also been a boon for the market. Furthermore, favorable reimbursement scenario for cataract surgeries has raised the adoption rate of cataract surgeries which is expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period. On the flip side, the global cataract surgery devices market is expected to witness a setback in developing countries where access to healthcare is low. Moreover, low-income levels and lack of awareness regarding eye impairments are significant impediments to the growth of the global cataract surgery devices market.
