The global eye testing equipment market, 以美元计价 2.7 十亿 2021, is projected to reach USD 4.1 十亿 2027, 年复合增长率为 7.27% 在预测期内. This growth is driven by the increasing availability of eye care services and growing consumer awareness. Developed countries, with their consistent demand for eye examinations and treatments, are major contributors to the market’s expansion.

The prevalence of eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration is a significant factor fueling the global market’s growth. The rise in desk-based jobs and prolonged screen time among working professionals and children, coupled with the higher penetration of smartphones, has led to an increase in eye disorders worldwide.

In developing economies, there has been a notable increase in eye care services and awareness. According to the Brookings economic report of 2021, developing countries are expected to experience around 7% GDP growth by 2040, with a capital size reaching approximately $4.4 trillion. Around 60% of individuals in countries like India, 中国, and sub-Saharan Africa suffer from vision-related problems, creating a strong demand for eye care services.

Government initiatives and non-profit organizations actively raising awareness about vision care and related issues are driving the global eye testing equipment market. Global awareness campaigns such as VISION 2020 – The Right to Sight, conducted in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and various non-governmental organizations (NGOs), aim to prevent blindness and improve eye care services.

Factors such as increasing stress levels, prolonged exposure to digital screens, and the rising prevalence of chronic diseases contribute to the growing number of eye disorders. According to the WHO, the burden of eye diseases is continuously increasing, resulting in significant global financial losses. Vision impairment, including myopia and presbyopia, leads to estimated productivity losses of about US$244 billion and $25.4 十亿, 分别.

The WHO reports that globally, 39 million people are blind, while 246 million have visual impairments, with a large portion residing in developing countries. Uncorrected refractive errors, glaucoma, and cataracts are the top three causes of visual impairment, while glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration are the leading causes of blindness. Regular eye check-ups, 测试, and preventive care can greatly reduce the prevalence of visual impairment, encouraging individuals to spend more on eye care services and eye testing equipment.

The increasing importance of digital tools in eye examinations has led to a surge in demand for eye diagnoses and procedures. The combination of rising eye disease prevalence and technological advancements presents new business opportunities. Digital fundus retinal photography, a type of pre-testing equipment, has become widely available. It allows opticians to provide patients with detailed information about their eye health for further procedures. Fully computerized eye testing equipment addresses significant challenges related to lens and instrument usage during testing.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and intelligent algorithms has played a crucial role in ophthalmology, enhancing technological capabilities for assessment and application. Machine learning is gaining traction in ophthalmology, offering new market growth opportunities for handling fundus photography, slit-lamp imaging, and optical coherence tomography (OCT).

In conclusion, the global eye testing equipment market is experiencing significant growth due to factors such as increased availability of eye care services, rising awareness among consumers, and the prevalence of eye diseases. Developments in digital tools and the integration of AI technologies further contribute to the market’s expansion.

The segment of autorefractor and phoropter testing equipment held approximately 30% of the global market share for eye testing equipment. The autorefractor is a computer-controlled machine that objectively examines a person’s refractive error, mainly used for prescribing contact lenses and glasses. 另一方面, the phoropter is a manual device used to determine refraction, specifically the shape and curve of a lens needed to restore normal vision. During an eye examination, the phoropter plays a crucial role in testing individual lenses on each eye.

Another significant equipment in the market is the optical coherence tomography (OCT) test equipment, which utilizes non-invasive imaging technology to obtain high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina. The fundus camera is also widely used to capture photographs of the eye’s internal structures through the pupil. These technologies have become essential in detecting and diagnosing various eye conditions, given the increasing prevalence of eye diseases and the demand for eye disorder assessment. Tonometry is another vital equipment used to measure the pressure inside the eye, specifically intraocular pressure, which helps determine the risk of glaucoma.

Biometer, as a standard method used by eye specialists, is employed to analyze the intraocular lens power of the eyes, 占 6.81% 全球市场份额. Slit-lamp, resembling a microscope with bright light, is used to examine different structures within the eyes. With the growing prevalence of visual impairment, the demand for slit lamps has also increased.

In terms of applications, the cataract segment held approximately 35% of the global market share in 2021. Cataract is a major cause of blindness worldwide, driving the demand for eye testing equipment. The general examination segment accounted for around 22% of the market share in 2021. Increased visits to hospitals and ophthalmology clinics, from children to adults, have resulted in a greater need for eye exams due to mild-to-severe disorders. Regular eye checks and examinations have become more popular as the prevalence of eye problems rises. These examinations are crucial for individuals between 18 和 60 岁, and it is suggested that adults aged 65 and above undergo at least one eye examination every two years. Various eye equipment is used in these examinations to conduct visual acuity, eye muscle, refraction, and visual field tests.

Eye examination is also critical for diagnosing and treating conditions such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Glaucoma diagnosis requires the use of a slit lamp, OCT, tonometry, and perimetry. The rising aging population has led to an increased prevalence of AMD, which drives the demand for eye examinations. Age-related macular degeneration accounted for 7.13% of the market share in the global eye testing equipment market. OCT equipment is primarily employed in the diagnosis of AMD, delivering 3D images of blood flow through the eyes, aiding in the identification and assessment of the disease. Slit lamps play a vital role in examining age-related macular degeneration. Given its higher prevalence in adults, OCT is critical in detecting the presence and severity of the disease.

The hospitals and eye clinics segment dominated the market in 2021. The increasing number of specialty eye clinics, the rising demand for eye care services, and the growing number of ophthalmologists contribute to the growth of this segment. Hospitals and eye clinics are considered primary points of contact for individuals seeking eye care services due to their convenient location and accessibility. 此外, there has been an increasing demand for ambulatory eye care services, leading to the establishment of dedicated ambulatory surgical centers (ASC) for ophthalmology. This concept was initially implemented in ophthalmology and has since gained traction. Universities and medical colleges also have eye examination centers that provide comprehensive eye care services. The segment’s growth is further stimulated by the rising number of optometry educational institutes, additional specialty training programs for low vision testing diagnosis and treatment, and the provision of large-scale eye care services by these institutes.

North America contributes significantly to the global eye testing equipment market in terms of revenue. This is attributed to advancements in eye care services, high adoption of advanced products, continuous healthcare expenditure growth, and the presence of market players. 在 2021, North America and Europe combined accounted for approximately 62% of the global market share for eye testing equipment. Although APAC, 拉美, 和中东 & Africa contribute a relatively smaller share in terms of revenue, they are expected to experience faster growth compared to North America and Europe markets during the forecast period.
