North America is estimated to contribute 40% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that will shape the market during the forecast period. There is an increase in per capita public expenditure on healthcare in North America every year. example, according to The World Bank Group, the health expenditure per capita in the US grew 2.7 percent in 2021, reaching USD4.3 trillion or USD12,914 per person, thereby leading to the growing adoption of phacoemulsification devices among people with visual impairment due to cataracts. In addition, some of the factors that are significantly contributing to the growth of the market in North America include improved healthcare infrastructure, government programs, funding for eye diseases and vision care, the presence of favorable reimbursement policies in developed countries such as the US and Canada, and the growing presence of global companies manufacturing cataract surgery products. Hence, such factors drive the market growth in the region during the forecast period.
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market. The report also includes detailed analyses of the competitive landscape of the market and information about 20 market companies, including:
Alcon Inc: The company offers phacoemulsification devices that provides eye care products which includes eye vitamin soft gels, systole caps eye vitamin chewable, systole caps eye vitamin tablets, under the brand name of Alcon.
Qualitative and quantitative analysis of companies has been conducted to help clients understand the wider business environment as well as the strengths and weaknesses of key market players. Data is qualitatively analyzed to categorize companies as pure play, category-focused, industry-focused, and diversified; it is quantitatively analyzed to categorize companies as dominant, leading, strong, tentative, and weak.
The market is crucial for modern cataract surgical procedures, offering a minimally invasive approach to treat cataractous lenses. Utilizing ultrasound-based special phaco equipment, the phaco probe breaks down the clouded lens into minuscule particles through ultrasonic vibrations. Key components include surgical instruments, viscoelastic agents, and a control console. The procedure involves accessing the lens capsule via the cornea and sclera, removing the nucleus, and replacing it with an intraocular lens implant. This method reduces blindness and corrects astigmatism, enhancing patient outcomes. Health education initiatives and advancements in anterior lens capsules and lens membrane technologies drive market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges.
One of the key factors driving the market growth is the increasing prevalence of cataracts. There is a rising prevalence of cataracts has been increasing across the globe such that four out of 10 people are likely to develop cataracts at some stage in their lives. In addition, the number of cataract surgeries performed worldwide is estimated to increase from more than 20 million surgeries in 2017 to over 35 million surgeries by 2025.
Moreover, cataract is also considered a significant cause of low vision in developed and developing countries. Furthermore, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) data, more than half of all Americans by 80 years of age either suffer from cataracts or have undergone cataract surgery. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the market growth is glaucoma surgery combined with cataract surgery via phacoemulsification. The coexisting cataract and glaucoma are significantly common in the elderly population. Therefore, phaco alone or glaucoma surgery followed by a separate phacoemulsification procedure are the treatment options for such patients. Furthermore, the surgical selection depends on each individual case, based on the stage of glaucoma and the visual significance of cataracts.
Moreover, the use of ultrasonic energy surgical devices in glaucoma surgery can accelerate cataract progression, and the postoperative complications rate may increase when both procedures are performed separately. In contrast, performing a combined procedure avoids risks and reduces the time and expenses involved in the second surgery. Furthermore, these combined procedures may decrease intraocular pressure (IOP) compared with cataract surgery alone, enhancing patient outcomes. Hence, the adoption of ultrasonic energy surgical devices in such integrated approaches drives market growth during the forecast period, emphasizing their role in improving surgical efficiency and patient safety in ophthalmic procedures.
The high cost of phacoemulsification is one of the key challenges hindering the market. growth. There is an increase in cost burden for end-users due to the high price of cataract surgeries using the phacoemulsification system. In addition, the end-users, such as hospitals ophthalmology clinics, and Ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), have a limited budget allocation for the procurement of medical devices, including ophthalmic equipment.
Moreover, the use of advanced phaco technology provides safety, facilitates smaller incisions, and delivers better surgical outcomes. However, the technologically advanced phacoemulsification systems are associated with high costs. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market growth during this forecast period.
