Industry Insights

The global retinal surgery devices market size was estimated at USD 1.56 billion in 2016 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period. The market is predominantly driven by the growing prevalence of diabetic retinopathy and other chronic retinal eye diseases. Diabetic retinopathy is a major complication induced in diabetes. As a result of which, increasing the diabetic population base is predicted to be a high impact rendering growth driver for the market during the forecast period.

As per the statistics published in NCBI research, the patient population suffering from diabetic retinopathy is anticipated to reach 191.0 million by 2030. In addition, it was estimated that the population suffering from Vision-Threatening Diabetic Retinopathy (VTDR) will reach 56.3 million by 2030. The proportion of blindness attributable to diabetic retinopathy was found to be 15% to 17% for developed economies such as the U.S. and Europe, 3% to 7% for South-East Asia and Pacific region. Thus, the aforementioned statistics exemplify the unaddressed need and high clinical urgency to incorporate retinal surgery devices, thereby, presenting the market with lucrative growth opportunities during the forecast period.

Low rate of compliance and non-adherence to comprehensive therapeutic approaches, formulated to reduce vision loss risk in diabetic retinopathy is also expected to shift the focus toward surgical alternatives. This provides long-term benefits, thereby, fueling the market growth potential. Non-compliance with the diabetes vision care guidelines by the patients has been recognized as a complex and persistent health issue. According to research published in NCBI, in the US, one-third of the diabetic patients were found to be unsuccessful in following vision care guidelines diligently. The scenario in developing countries such as India & China, non-adherence has reached a proportion exceeding 60%.

An upsurge in the geriatric population base, possessing greater susceptible to developing retinal eye diseases, is further expected to broaden the base for the growth of the retinal surgery devices market. The aforementioned benefits are likely to increase the adoption of these devices over the coming years.

Consistent efforts by healthcare organizations to improve vision care are also one of the key growth contributing factors responsible to bolster growth and improve the penetration rate of retinal surgery devices during the forecast period. For instance, in 2012, the UK National Screening Committee formulated a catalog of key performance indicators for diabetic retinopathy eye screening programs in England, as an initiative to stimulate screening and better disease management.

Product Insights

In 2016, vitrectomy packs accounted for the largest share in the product segment. The dominant share registered by this segment is presumed to be a result of high adoption in a wide array of applications such as in posterior vitreous detachment, vitreous removal in mobile retina, epiretinal membrane removal, and combined retinal surgical procedures. The aforementioned factors are expected to be some of the key factors accentuating demand over the years.

Associated benefits with vitrectomy packs such as high portability, sensitivity, and optical magnification are responsible for the emergence of vitrectomy packs as the dominant segment. Furthermore, these products are relatively less harmful to the areas surrounding the intended surgical part. They are also used to gain greater clarity, save operating room start-up time, and achieve high-cost efficiency by a significant decrease in expenses and waste per surgery.

In addition, vitrectomy packs are considered an essential part of vision care instrumentarium and have a wide range & easy availability which drives the inclination of ophthalmologists to increasingly adopt this product. In the present scenario, there are certain manufacturers that are consistently striving to develop all-in-one vitrectomy packs which will be able to replace other essential tools.

The technological improvements in vitrectomy packs are anticipated to widen an array of alternatives for vitreoretinal surgeons. The technical improvements will result in greater incision speed & smaller incisions to yield positive patient outcomes such as decreased postoperative inflammation and conjunctival scarring, thereby, obviating the need for suturing. These factors are presumed to be responsible for the emergence of vitrectomy packs as the largest product segment in 2016.

Application Insights

Diabetic retinopathy held a substantial share in 2016, as a consequence of the increasing prevalence of diabetes, which is predicted to bolster the demand for the market.
