The Vitrectomy devices market size is projected to reach US$ 2.49 billion by 2031 from US$ 1.45 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.2% during 2023–2031. Large number of product approvals and launches is likely to remain a key trend in the market.

Market Overview

Different economies in the globe, including the US, the UK, Canada, Japan, China, India, and South Korea, are experiencing significant healthcare facility modernization and enhancement in healthcare services. Along with this, the population life expectancy in these nations results in an increase in their elderly population base. According to the WHO (2018), the elderly population is projected to increase from 12% in 2015 to 22% in 2050. Additionally, according to the US Census Bureau in a report, the US population aged 65 and over is projected to increase from 46 million in 2016 to over 98 million in 2060. Their percentage of the population would increase from ~15% to ~24% between the two years. Another report, released by the United Nation's World Population Ageing, indicates that Europe in 2017 had the world's highest proportion (i.e., 25%) of individuals aged over 60 years. Additionally, by 2050, all parts of the world, with the exception of Africa, would have ~25% or more of their populations aged 60 and older. Also, underdeveloped and developing nations would contribute ~80% to this growth.

Key Vitreoretinal Surgery Devices Market Segments

The vitreoretinal surgery devices market is therefore segmented according to product, application, patient type, and surgical technique, mirroring the range and specificity of ophthalmic procedures. By product, the market encompasses vitrectomy accessories, vitrectomy machines, microscopic illumination equipment, and surgical instruments. The core of these procedures, vitrectomy machines provide accurate removal of vitreous gel, while accessories and surgical instruments streamline the surgery and ensure patient safety. Microscopic illumination devices are of utmost importance in enhancing visualization during sensitive retinal procedures.

Application-wise, the market mainly targets diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, epiretinal membrane, and macular hole. Of these, diabetic retinopathy accounts for a significant share because of the rising global incidence of diabetes. Segmented by type of patient, the market serves adults, pediatrics, and geriatric patients, with adults being the biggest segment, although pediatric and elderly patients need to be treated with specialized surgical techniques because of different anatomy and physiology. Segmented by surgical technique, procedures are divided into posterior (pars plana) vitrectomy and anterior vitrectomy. Posterior vitrectomy is more frequently done, particularly for retinal pathology, whereas anterior vitrectomy is generally linked with complications in cataract surgery.
