Ophthalmic Microscopes Market To Reach $1.02 Billion By 2030

February 2025 | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

Ophthalmic Microscopes Market Growth & Trends

The global ophthalmic microscopes market size is anticipated to reach USD 1.02 billion in 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2025 to 2030. The growing number of ophthalmic surgeries is a key factor driving the growth of the market. With advances in technology and increasing access to healthcare, the number of ophthalmic procedures and surgeries is growing around the globe. This is driving the demand for ophthalmic microscopes as they are essential tools for these procedures.

Ophthalmic microscopes have undergone significant technological advancements in recent years, with improved optics, lighting and imaging capabilities. These advancements have resulted in higher precision and accuracy in ophthalmic surgeries and procedures, driving the demand for most advance and latest microscopes. For instance, Leica Microsystems Company’s product Prove 8 ophthalmic microscope has IOL guidance and software that is useful for cataract surgery as it is performed through the smallest incision of any surgery on a major organ system in the human body. Such microsurgery requires the use of an operating microscope designed for small-incision techniques.

Until now, a majority of structures and translucent objects, such the capsular bag or pieces of the eye's natural lens, are invisible in normal lighting. SCI, or stereo coaxial illumination, is transforming. Thus, surgeons could see translucent components in a highly contrasted way due to the stereo coaxial illumination.

However, the pandemic has led to a global economic slowdown, which has impacted the purchasing power of healthcare facilities and individuals. This has resulted in a delay or decrease in the adoption of new ophthalmic microscopes. Also, in many regions, elective surgeries have been cancelled or postponed. This has resulted in a reduction in the number of ophthalmic surgeries and procedures, leading to a decrease in demand for ophthalmic microscopes.
