The global corneal topographers market accounted for USD 0.768 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach at USD 1.49 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 6.24% during the forecast period 2024-2034. Rising prevalence of age-related eye conditions, increased governmental efforts to encourage early detection, treatment, & prevention of various conditions, increasing research & development initiatives by market players, surge in integrations of novel diagnostic techniques for screening & early detection of eye conditions such as cataracts, growing number of surgical procedures across various healthcare settings, and increase in the introduction of advanced technologies for corneal topography are some of the key factors boosting the market growth.
The corneal topographer is a device utilized for analyzing the three surfaces of the cornea, as mentioned earlier. It functions as a computer-assisted tool for video keratography, facilitating the graphical representation and assessment of the corneal surface. This technology is employed in refractive surgery to assess candidates, identifying any irregular patterns and ruling out abnormalities such as keratoconus, while also evaluating the normal shape of the cornea. Hence, increase in the introduction of advanced technologies for corneal topography is predicted to boost the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in February 2023, An enhanced software version called iTrace Prime was introduced by Tracey Technologies and was created especially to be used with the iTrace Ray Tracing Aberrometer and Corneal Topographer. This improved program has several practical features that provide users access to a wide range of information on a single platform.
By product, placido disc system was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global corneal topographers market in 2023 owing to the increase in the introduction of groundbreaking tools. These discs represent some of the earliest available technologies for corneal topography, offering improved monitoring of corneal diseases and enabling early diagnosis compared to other screening methods such as keratometry. These systems have diverse applications aimed at enhancing practitioners' comprehension of corneal shape. For instance, in January 2023, CooperVision Specialty EyeCare debuted its innovative digital fitting tool, Visavy, at the 2023 Global Specialty Lens Symposium (GSLS). This user-friendly, web-based fitting software utilizes topography-guided algorithms to aid in designing and choosing Paragon CRT orthokeratology contact lenses for managing myopia. Additionally, scheimpflug systems is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Scheimpflug imaging offers several benefits, including precise corneal resolution and the ability to measure corneas with significant irregularities like keratoconus. It can also calculate corneal thickness. Additionally, these devices provide corneal wavefront analysis to detect higher-order aberrations. Scheimpflug systems enable high-resolution imaging of the cornea, anterior chamber, iris, and lens in the front part of the eye. They capture the shape, thickness, and topography of these structures in three dimensions, offering valuable information.
By application, refractive surgery evaluation was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global corneal topographers market in 2023 owing to the growing number of patients diagnosed with refractive errors such as myopia, astigmatism, hyperopia, and presbyopia. Refractive surgery seeks to enhance vision either by reshaping the cornea or by implanting intraocular lenses. Additionally, cataract surgery evaluation is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the rise in the aging population, increase in the occurrence of cataracts, heightened demand for accurate & thorough pre-operative assessments, and surge in the introduction of advanced medical devices. For instance, in March 2023, Haag-Streit unveiled a new display for corneal ectasia on the Eyestar 900 precision OCT analyzer, which is based on swept-source technology.
By end-user, hospitals was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global corneal topographers market in 2023 owing to the increase in the introduction of sophisticated systems. Hospitals offer comprehensive eye care services encompassing treatment, surgery, and diagnosis. Corneal topography serves as a valuable tool for evaluating multiple eye conditions such as keratoconus, corneal dystrophies, and corneal abnormalities. With the diverse range of patients they serve and their varied eye health needs, hospitals may experience a rising demand for corneal topography equipment. For instance, in September 2022, Cassini Technologies B.V. has integrated Cassini Ambient diagnostic data into the Beyeonics One ophthalmic exoscope, enhancing 3D IOL alignment procedures. This combined workflow improves the precision of Toric IOL alignment and streamlines the surgical process, resulting in enhanced accuracy and efficiency, which has contributed to the rapid expansion of the industry. Additionally, ambulatory surgical centers (ASC) is predicted to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. More surgical procedures are being performed in Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs) instead of hospitals due to the affordability of surgeries, convenient access, and suitability for elderly and disabled individuals.
North America region is anticipated for the highest revenue share during the forecast period owing to the favorable reimbursement policies, rise in governmental & non-governmental efforts to promote research & innovation, increase in investment in new screening technologies, and growing introduction of advanced systems. For instance, in November 2023, Bausch + Lomb introduced the SeeNa ophthalmic diagnostic system for refractive cataract patients in the United States. This system is specifically designed to be compatible with the company's Eyetelligence surgical planning software. Additionally, Asia Pacific region is predicted to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the rise in government initiatives aimed at promoting ophthalmic care, increased awareness regarding the importance of comprehensive eye care services for conditions such as cataracts, refractive errors, corneal disorders, & glaucoma, and surge in the introduction of innovative technologies. For instance, in February 2023, Topcon Corporation, a Japanese-based ophthalmic technology company, introduced a new corneal topographer using Placido disc technology. The WaveScan 5M Corneal Topographer is capable of generating precise maps of the corneal surface.
This comprehensive research report focuses on the global and regional market size and forecasts from 2023 to 2034.
