Cataract Surgery Market Size:

The Cataract Surgery Market is expected to grow from US$9.013 billion in 2025 to US$11.033 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 4.13%.

An eye-related condition called a cataract causes the lens to cloud over, leaving the patient without vision. As part of cataract surgery, the lenses in the eye are removed and intraocular lenses are implanted. Growing older populations have been a major driver of this industry's growth. Additionally, technological advancements such as laser technology have contributed to the growth of this market since it has brought about new levels of safety and accuracy. Furthermore, cataract surgery will aid market growth. LaserSurgeryHub.uk, for instance, estimates that 330,000 cataract operations are performed yearly in England alone. The global market growth will rise with the huge number of surgeries being carried out. Moreover, there is a positive impact on the growth of the market due to the technological advancements in ophthalmic devices.

Cataract Surgery Market Growth Factors:

• Rise of geriatric population and technological advancement

Technological advances in ophthalmic devices as well as a rise in cataract diseases drive the market. In addition to increasing patient safety, the VERITAS Vision System improves image quality as well. Additionally, geriatric populations around the world are increasing, driving market growth. Approximately half of all Americans will suffer from cataracts by the time they reach age 75. The cataracts of one in six Americans older than 40 have already begun. Approximately 61 percent of cataract patients are women, compared to 39 percent of cataract patients who are men. In about one out of 250 children, there will be a cataract when they are born or during their childhood. In the United States, more than two million cataract procedures are performed each year.

Cataract Surgery Market Restraints:

• High cost

The cataract surgery devices market is slowed by a lack of healthcare coverage and low awareness of cataract surgery's benefits. High cataract surgery costs, especially in emerging economies like India, China, Brazil, and South Africa, impede the market's growth. Additionally, governments implement programs to lower the burden of cataract-related diseases, which creates lucrative opportunities for key players in the market.
