Global Vitrectomy Devices Market - 2024-2031

Overview

The global vitrectomy devices market reached US$ 1216.2 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 2121.3 million by 2031 growing with a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

Vitrectomy devices are medical instruments used in ophthalmology to remove the vitreous humor, a clear gel-like substance that fills the center of the eye, from a patient's eye during a surgical procedure called vitrectomy. Vitrectomy is performed to treat various eye conditions such as retinal detachments, diabetic retinopathy, epiretinal membranes, and macular holes.

The vitreous is replaced with a clear fluid or a gas bubble until the body begins producing the vitreous again. The market is driven by factors such as the increasing prevalence of diabetic retinopathy and retinal detachment, technological advancement in vitrectomy surgical procedures and the rising number of eye surgical procedures would drive this market growth.

Market Dynamics: Drivers

Increasing prevalence of diabetic retinopathy and retinal detachment

The demand for the global vitrectomy devices market is driven by multiple factors. One of the key factors is the increasing prevalence of diabetic retinopathy and retinal detachment is expected to drive the vitrectomy devices market.

Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of vision loss among working-age adults, and its incidence is rising due to the growing prevalence of diabetes globally. According to the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Science publication in February 2024, Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most frequent microvascular complication of Diabetes mellitus. Globally the prevalence of Diabetic retinopathy among diabetic patients is estimated to be 27.0% which leads to 0.4 million blindness in the world. It affects blood vessels in the retina. It commonly affects both eyes and can lead to vision loss if left untreated.

As per NCBI research studies in January 2022, based on a pooled analysis of various hospital-based studies the prevalence of DR is reported to be 31.6% in Africa and 19.48%in Ethiopia. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that DR makes up 37 million cases of blindness in the world.

Retinal detachments (RDs) constitute a severe ocular condition that can lead to permanent vision loss is also contribute to the demand for vitrectomy devices. Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) is a vision-threatening condition with an estimated incidence of 10 to 18 per 100,000 population per year in the United States. Retinal breaks are identified in 8% to 16% of patients with acute symptomatic PVD and may progress to RRD in 30% to 50% of patients if untreated.

Restraints

Factors such as the high cost of vitrectomy devices, patient discomfort & risk associated with the treatment, lack of skilled healthcare professionals, and stringent regulatory requirements, are expected to hamper the market.

Segment Analysis

The global vitrectomy devices are segmented based on product type, application, end-users, and region.

The vitrectomy machines segment accounted for approximately 49.6% of the global vitrectomy devices market share

The vitrectomy machines segment is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. Vitrectomy machines are the key equipment used in vitrectomy procedures, which involve the removal of the vitreous humor from the eye to treat various conditions. These machines are designed to precisely control the removal of the vitreous and provide surgeons with improved visibility and control during the operation.

Vitrectomy machines such as Alcon Constellation, DORC EVA Bausch + Lomb Stellaris PC, Associate 6000 Dual, Associate 2500 Compact System, and Syntec VitMan Vitrectomy System are some of the vitrectomy devices and systems used for treating the conditions such as retinal detachments, vitreous hemorrhage, endophthalmitis, and macular holes. The development of new generation machines with advanced features such as improvised fluidics, high cut rates, small gauge size, and intraocular pressure control helps to drive this segment's growth.

Moreover, key players strategies such as partnerships & collaborations, technological advancements in the devices, and major players' innovative launches would propel this segment's growth in the market. For instance, in January 2022, DORC International and WEFIS GmbH are excited to announce a strategic partnership, based on an equity investment by DORC. The partnership will focus on research and development to deliver innovation in the performance, efficiency, and usability of instruments for cataract surgery.

Also, in March 2022, DORC International announced the launch of Eva Nexus, a device designed to improve efficiency and control in the retina, cataract, and combined surgery. Surgeons have used Eva Nexus in more than 1,500 surgical procedures during the limited-release phase.

Similarly, in August 2022, Vortex Surgical launched the TID Pharos Illuminated Depressor the first standalone transilluminator that can be used across all existing vitrectomy machine platforms without requiring a skilled assistant. The product is the second generation of the company's line of transillumination products, which includes the first-generation Todorich Illuminated Depressor.

Geographical Analysis

North America accounted for approximately 43.2% of the global vitrectomy devices market share

North America region is expected to hold the largest market share over the forecast period. Owing to the growing prevalence of ophthalmic disorders such as diabetic retinopathy, macular hole, and retinal detachment, & well advanced healthcare infrastructure, is expected to contribute towards the growth of the market in the region.

Moreover, major key players' presence, financial investments, product launches, and approvals would drive this market growth in this region. For instance, in August 2022, Iantrek Inc. announced the closing of a $23M Series B financing. The oversubscribed financing was led by institutional investors Visionary Ventures and Sectoral Asset Management, Inc. According to the company, the capital will be used to initiate clinical introduction and post-marketing studies of Iantrek's micro-interventional glaucoma surgical (MIGS) devices in the United States.

Also, in April 2023, Nova Eye Medical Limited announced that it has been granted U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for its iTrack Advance, a new canaloplasty device.

Similarly, in June 2024, Alcon announced that UNITY Vitreoretinal Cataract System (VCS) and UNITY Cataract System (CS) have received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance. These innovations are the first to be introduced from Alcon's highly anticipated Unity portfolio.
