Pupillometer Market Size & Trends

The global pupillometer market size was valued at USD 372.6 million in 2022 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.85% from 2023 to 2030. Pupillometry is used extensively to measure the pupil dilation to understand various underlying conditions. Various imaging modalities such as MRI and CT have identified that changes in brain activity has a direct impact on pupil dilation. Thus, measuring pupil dilation helps in understanding cognitive processes at a deep level. On the other hand, individuals with depression, anxiety, Parkinson’s disease, and autism spectrum disorder have also shown abnormal pupillometry response towards the stimuli. Therefore, pupillometry helps in understanding the normal eye functionality of an individual along with the brain activity impacted by a disease.

Pupil dilation can help in offering clues to understand the lives of the people with neurological disorders. Pupillometry results help in determining the physiological treatment. Usage of pupillometer can be an effective option to understand the best possible treatment for an individual. This in turn is expected to improve diagnostic outcomes, thus increasing recovery rates. Furthermore, pupillometry can also be used with other systems or process to enhance diagnosis of neurological disease. Brain-computer-interaction (BCI) can be enhanced using pupil dilation study, as it will act as an additional signal to understand the neurological signals.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the pupillometer market. Factors such as worldwide lockdowns and restrictions laid down by the government, increased focus on COVID-19 infected patients and postponement of patient visits to the medical facilities to curb the spread of the virus resulted in drop in sales of pupillometer in 2020.

Advantages associated with pupillometry is resulting into its increasing adoption. Various critical care units such as neurocritical care, surgical intensive care, cardiac intensive care, medical intensive care, pediatric intensive care, trauma, and emergency department are adopting pupillometers. Frequent pupil evaluation is now becoming the protocol in critical care units. Pupil size and pupillary light reflex (PLR) is being used as a prognostic indicator and clinical parameter by various associations and centers.

The Brain Trauma Foundation and the American Association of Neurological Surgeons recommends the usage of pupillary light reflex for each eye as a prognostic parameter. Usage of this on patients with neurological injury helps in facilitating the measurement of pupil dynamics of the patients provided with prescribed medications such as sedatives, analgesics, and anesthetic agents. Various nursing associations provide training and knowledge regarding pupillometry as it is becoming the key assessment for neurological examination. The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) has featured a new section on pupillometry, to guide nurses regarding automated pupillometer in its Procedure Manual for High Acuity, Progressive and Critical Care.

Development of advanced hand-held pupillometer is expected to propel the overall segment growth during the forecast period.

Type Insights

Based on type, the global pupillometer is fragmented into video and digital segments. The video pupillometer segment held for the largest revenue share of 56.4% in 2022 and is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period. Video pupillometer helps in capturing the entire activity of pupil dilation which helps in understanding the changes and reason for the same. NeurOptics, a company that deals in the science of pupillometry by developing innovative technologies to help clinicians in providing better patient care. The company has come up with various video pupillometers for critical care as well as applied research. NPi-200 pupillometer is a video pupillometer developed by NeurOptics for critical care. This product is equipped with infrared camera, processor, high-precision optics, and LED light source. The video feature of the product helps in capturing the changes in pupil size and its reactivity over time.

VIP-300 pupillometer, PLR-3000 pupillometer, and DP-2000 are also video pupillometers by NeurOptics which are used for applied research. Some of these video pupillometers are hand-held whereas some are tabletops. These devices store data of the pupil measurement which can later be played or recalled on a screen. This, in turn, helps in increasing efficiency of the clinicians in order to capture pupil movement, pupil size, and other changes in the pupil due to medication or disease. Additionally, the integrated systems by various market players such as Essilor and HAAG-STREIT, also includes video pupillometry in its products. LENSTAR LS 900 and APS by HAAG-STREIT and Wave Analyzer Medica (WAM) 700 by Essilor are a few of combined devices with video pupillometer.

Digital pupillometer segment is expected to experience the fastest growth rate during the forecast period. The digital pupillometer helps in accurate and rapid assessment of pupil size. This device captures several frames in a second and average the measurements to determine the pupil dilation. Digital pupillometer helps in capturing all the fluctuations happening in the pupillary response, which in turn enhances the detection of neurological diseases. Market players such as Essilor, Luneau Technology Group, Reichert Technologies have developed digital pupillometers for proper diagnosis.

End-use Insights

Hospitals segment held the largest revenue share of 49.6% in 2022 in terms of end-use owing to the increasing adoption of the pupillometer in the setting. Pupillometer developed by NeurOptics is adopted by 400 hospitals around the U.S., thus, contributing towards the growth of the segment.
