The global ophthalmic viscosurgical devices market size is anticipated to reach USD 639.5 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.3% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report published by Grand View Research, Inc. Steady rise in geriatric population coupled with high prevalence of ocular disorders is expected to drive the growth. Constantly developing ophthalmic care facilities are expected to contribute to the demand for Ophthalmic Viscosurgical Devices (OVDs) in near future.
Increasing prevalence of diabetes is expected to be a major factor boosting the market growth. Patients with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are prone to develop cataract at some point in time. Currently, the surgical procedure is the only treatment option for cataract, thereby driving the demand for ophthalmic viscosurgical devices-an integral part of the cataract surgery. Furthermore, the global burden of cataract can be subjected to the increasing Cataract Surgical Rate (CSR) in countries, such as India, Japan, U.S., and several Western European countries.
Favorable government and non-government initiatives, such as ophthalmic screening programs, state and national eye care schemes, ophthalmic training, and education programs are expected to play a significant role in the ophthalmic viscosurgical devices market growth. For instance, the World Diabetes Foundation conducts training and development programs for ophthalmic HCP at primary care in regions of underdeveloped economies, improving the reach and awareness of cataract treatment procedures.
Developing advanced viscoelastics such as super-cohesive and viscoadpative OVD suitable for each stages of routine and complex ocular surgery is an emerging trend in the market. For instance, the viscoadpative OVDs have the combined benefit of cohesive and dispersive OVDs contained in a single syringe suitable for complex cataract surgery and ocular trauma cases.
