U.S. Bionic Eye market size and growth rate, 2023 - 2030

According to the National Eye Institute, retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a rare genetic disorder that affects one in 4,000 people globally. According to Bright Focus Foundation, around 11 million people in the U.S. are suffering from some age-related macular degeneration, and the number is expected to double by 2050. The foundation further stated that the number of people with macular degeneration is estimated to reach 288.0 million by 2040, from 196.0 million in 2020 globally.

Increasing funding to help researchers develop novel ways to restore sight in blind individuals is a significant market growth contributor. In 2018, the Australian government granted funds from its BioMedTech Horizons program for commercializing a bionic eye developed by Monash Vision Group. The company commercialized its product by 2021, thus, addressing the unmet need for complete blindness.

Type Insights

Based on type, the market is categorized into external and implanted eyes segments. The external eye segment held the largest revenue share of over 60% in 2022, as it improves the visual experience. Technological advancements to provide better patient outcomes are a significant parameter focused by the market players. According to the National Institutes of Health, about three million Americans over the age of 40 are likely to suffer from macular degeneration by 2020.

Moreover, the external eye segment is anticipated to register the fastest CAGR of 13.6% over the forecast period, due to its better visual experiences than the other segments. Continuous advances in technology from various competitors in the industry, leading to cost reductions in the procedures, are expected to boost the market’s growth.

End-use Insights

Based on end-use, the market is segmented into hospitals, outpatient facilities, and research and manufacturing. The hospital segment held the largest revenue share of around 45% in 2022 and is anticipated to maintain its dominance over the forecast period.
