In order to minimize invasiveness, surgeons have been using smaller incisions such as micro-incision vitrectomy systems, sutures-less techniques, smaller gauge instruments among other innovations.
International regulatory initiatives as well as standards are shaping the landscape of the vitrectomy devices market. Regulations bodies are putting in place guidelines aimed at ensuring safety and efficacy of vitrectomy devices, thus meeting quality assurance requirements (Trivedi et.al). Henceforth adherence to these requirements remains a critical success factor for any player in this market as it influences product developments as well as market accessability.
Emerging economies have been adopting vitrectomy devices. Vitrectomy surgeries are sought by patients in these areas as healthcare infrastructure improves and advanced ophthalmic treatments are learned. Manufacturers expand their presence in emerging markets, provide training programs, and collaborate with local healthcare providers to enhance the adoption of vitrectomy devices.
Vitrectomy Devices Market Highlights:
Vitrectomy Devices Market Forecast
The global vitrectomy devices market is expected to cross ~USD 2.9 million by 2030 at a CAGR of ~7.20%.
Market Overview:
Vitrectomy devices are essential medical accessories and tools required for vitrectomy. A vitrectomy is a type of eye surgery that treats different conditions related to vitreous and retina. The major signs and symptoms of eye problems are seeing floating cobwebs or specks, distorted or blurred vision, faults in the side vision, and lost vision. The surgery is done to remove and replace the vitreous with another solution. Vitreous is a gel-type of substance, which is filled in the middle of the eye. To certify, the surgery is concluded with safety and ideal results, particular vitrectomy surgery equipment, such as vitrectomy supplies and systems, are used. The commonly used vitrectomy devices are vitrectomy machines, tamponades, scissors, light pipes, probes, and lasers. The advanced vitrectomy techniques offer the latest technological advancements and high performance to enable surgeons are to provide the optimal care for the patients. The technique is also used to avoid traction in retinal detachment. This causes smoothening of the procedure for different ophthalmic surgeries also prevents detachment of the retina anymore. Moreover, vitrectomy allows restoring of the vision loss due to the vitreous humor bleeding.
The growing number of cases of retinal damage and eye problems due to the rising geriatric population is one of the key factors attributing to the market growth. As per National Institute on Aging (NIA), the old-aged people numbers are anticipated to achieve 72 million by 2030, which will drive ophthalmic disorders. Furthermore, rising cases of hospital admissions for retinal surgeries such as vitrectomy is estimated to propel the market growth.Â
COVID-19 Analysis
The occurrence of the pandemic has impacted people across the globe and caused in the shutdown of operational facilities worldwide. The healthcare industry is facing exceptional encounters during the lockdown phase. The manufacturing units were shut down, which also affected the production of medical products.
