The global minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices market size is anticipated to reach USD 781.2 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.36% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The substantial factors propelling market growth include increasing awareness about minimally invasive surgery, technological advancements, the expanding geriatric population, and the continuous development of healthcare infrastructure.
An increasing number of medical device manufacturers are placing their focus on research and product development to introduce innovative products with greater precision and the potential to improve surgical outcomes. For instance, in August 2022, Glaukos received FDA clearance for the iStent infinite Trabecular Micro-Bypass System. The iStent Infinite is designed for use as a standalone procedure to lower elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma that remains uncontrolled despite previous medical and surgical treatments.
The development of new procedures, such as minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), creates new opportunities in the market. Healthcare professionals increasingly prefer minimally invasive surgeries since they offer advantages such as smaller incisions, rapid wound healing, reduced pain, and smaller or no surgical scars. Smaller incisions & lower scope of complications can significantly reduce the overall surgery cost. According to the National Library of Medicine (NCBI), approximately 40,000 MIGS surgical procedures were performed in patients diagnosed with glaucoma in 2018. This minimally invasive surgery can reduce hospital stays, lowering the chance of patients contracting hospital-acquired infections. Shorter hospital stays also enable patients to return to their normal lives quicker.
The growing geriatric population, which is more susceptible to developing glaucoma, is expected to significantly contribute to the growth of the minimally invasive glaucoma surgery devices market. For instance, according to a Statistics Canada report, in 2022, about 7.32 million people, accounting for 18.8% of the general population, were aged 65 and above in Canada. As the elderly population continues to expand, there is a higher prevalence of age-related eye conditions, with glaucoma being one of the most common. Furthermore, the rising incidence of diabetes globally is expanding the population of individuals with glaucoma. Diabetes is a widely recognized risk factor for the onset and advancement of glaucoma. For instance, according to the international diabetes federation, in 2021 there were about 366 million adults with diabetes the number is further estimated to reach 783 million by 2045. Thus, the aforementioned factors contribute to the market growth.
