Sales Analysis of Intraocular Lens (2017-2021) & Market Forecast Estimations (2022-2032)

The world has witnessed a prominent increase in the incidence of cataracts and this has led to an increased number of cataract surgeries being performed across the world. This is expected to primarily drive the intraocular lenses market potential across the forecast period.

Increasing prevalence of diabetes in the general population is one of the major factors that is causing cataract problems and is expected to positively impact sales of intraocular lenses over the years to come. The growing geriatric population is also one of the more important prospects that favor intraocular lenses market growth since aging people are more prone to vision impairment and cataracts.

Technological innovations, the development of novel intraocular lenses, and the rising adoption of premium intraocular lenses are also expected to uplift the overall intraocular lens demand over the next ten years.

However, the lack of favorable reimbursement for postoperative issues and the use of premium intraocular lenses are expected to have a hindering effect on the overall market potential through 2032.

From 2022 to 2032, sales of intraocular lenses are slated to increase at a steady CAGR of 5%.

Will Increasing Incidence of Diabetes Impact Intraocular Lens Demand?

“Rising Prevalence of Diabetes Increases the Risk of Vision Impairment”

Diabetes and vision impairment are directly related as an increase in blood sugar levels leads to structural changes in the lens of the eyes. Hence, diabetic people are more prone to cataracts and other vision impairment issues, which is expected to favor sales of intraocular lenses through 2032.

Moreover, the rising senescent population across the world is also expected to drive market growth across the forecast period as these aging people are more prone to diabetes and ophthalmic conditions.

Category-wise Insights

Why are Monofocal Intraocular Lenses the Popular Choice among Users?

“Affordable Nature of Monofocal Lenses Backs their Popularity”

The global intraocular lenses market, based on product, is segmented into monofocal intraocular lenses and premium intraocular lenses. The premium intraocular lenses are further segmented into multifocal intraocular lenses, toric intraocular lenses, and accommodative intraocular lenses.

Monofocal intraocular lenses are anticipated to be highly popular across the forecast period owing to their low cost as compared to premium intraocular lenses. The recommendation of monofocal intraocular lenses by ophthalmologists and favorable reimbursement coverage for these lenses are other factors that are expected to drive their popularity over the next ten years.

Meanwhile, demand for premium intraocular lenses is predicted to rise at a faster CAGR than monofocal lenses owing to their rising use in the treatment of intricate retinal conditions.

Which End User Will Spearhead Intraocular Lens Demand and Sales?

“Hospitals Set to Lead Global Sales of Intraocular Lenses”

The global intraocular lenses market, based on end user, is segmented into hospitals, ophthalmic clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and eye research institutes.

Hospitals are projected to lead the global demand for intraocular lenses owing to a high number of eye surgeries being performed in these establishments. The rising availability of novel eye treatments in hospitals and growing investments in healthcare infrastructure development are expected to bolster intraocular lens sales in hospitals through 2032. The growing availability of free-of-cost eye surgeries in government hospitals is also a major factor expected to boost the growth in the hospitals segment throughout the forecast period.

However, ophthalmic clinics are also anticipated to witness a spike in intraocular lens demand owing to their ease of appointment scheduling and the rising number of discrete ophthalmic clinics across the world.
