Corneal Topographers Market Report 2024

The corneal topographers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.83 billion in 2023 to $0.88 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The increase in the historical period is due to a higher volume of surgical procedures, a greater emphasis on eye health, expansion in clinical research within ophthalmology and optometry, a growing elderly population, and rising government initiatives.

The corneal topographers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.12 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by the expansion of custom and specialty contact lenses, heightened awareness and diagnosis of corneal diseases, a rise in eye disorders, growing demand for refractive surgery, and the modernization of healthcare facilities. Key trends during this period include the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), technological advancements, innovations in imaging techniques, the rise of telemedicine and remote monitoring, and the integration with other diagnostic tools.

The increasing prevalence of eye disorders is expected to drive the growth of the corneal topographers market in the future. Eye disorders encompass any condition or disease that disrupts normal eye function, impairs vision, or causes discomfort. Contributing factors to the rise in eye disorders include aging populations, increased screen time, and a higher incidence of chronic conditions such as diabetes. Corneal topography is utilized in diagnosing and managing conditions such as keratoconus, tracking changes in the cornea, and planning treatments such as refractive surgery. For example, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in May 2024, more than 90 million Americans aged 40 and older are experiencing vision and eye issues, affecting over 60% of this age group. By 2050, the rate of vision impairment and blindness is expected to increase by 150%, with related costs projected to rise by 157%, reaching $373 billion. Thus, the growing prevalence of eye disorders is fueling the expansion of the corneal topographers market.

Leading companies in the corneal topographers market are advancing their offerings with new products such as AI-based corneal topographers to improve diagnostic precision and treatment planning. An AI-based corneal topographer integrates artificial intelligence to enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and capabilities of corneal mapping. For instance, in April 2024, GOOD Vision Technologies Co. Ltd., a Chinese company specializing in ophthalmic optics and diagnostics, introduced the K-shaped corneal topographer. This innovative device is designed for patients as young as four years old and offers eye care professionals a precise and efficient tool to enhance patient care. Equipped with advanced AI algorithms, the K-Shape detects corneal irregularities, ensuring accurate image capture and real-time data analysis, thereby optimizing eye examination efficiency and clinical workflows. This AI integration significantly enhances the efficiency of eye exams and streamlines clinical procedures.

In July 2021, Topcon Corporation, a medical devices company based in Japan, acquired VISIA Imaging for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance Topcon's product portfolio, strengthen its brand, and accelerate development to better meet market demands. VISIA Imaging S.r.l., based in Italy, manufactures ophthalmic medical devices, including the CC-100 series visual acuity charts, the CA-800 topographer, and the corneal analyzer.

A corneal topographer is a diagnostic device utilized in optometry and ophthalmology to chart the curvature of the cornea, the transparent, dome-shaped surface at the front of the eye. This tool offers comprehensive details about the cornea’s shape, size, and curvature, aiding eye care professionals in diagnosing and tracking conditions such as astigmatism, keratoconus, and other corneal irregularities.

Key types of corneal topographers include optical coherence tomography (OCT), Placido disc, Scheimpflug imaging, ray tracing, and light-emitting diode (LED) triangulation, among others. Optical coherence tomography is a non-invasive imaging method that produces high-resolution cross-sectional images of the eye, allowing for detailed structural visualization. This technology includes scanning slit and reflection-based methods. OCT is used for evaluating cataract surgery, diagnosing corneal disorders, assessing refractive surgery outcomes, and fitting contact lenses. These devices are commonly used in hospitals, ophthalmic clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers.
