Corneal Pachymetry Market Size, Share, Growth Analysis, By Method Type(Ultrasonic Method and Optical Method), By Application(Glaucoma Diagnosis and Refractive Surgery), By End User(Hospitals, clinics, and Others), By Region - Industry Forecast 2024-2031

In 2023, the market was dominated by the North American region. The increased prevalence of glaucoma and refractive operations is the cause of the region's rise. The region's superior healthcare medication infrastructure is effectively propelling the growth of the global corneal pachymetry market. The National Eye Institute projects that by 2030, there will be 4.2 million instances of glaucoma, a 58% increase in prevalence. In the years to come, this will increase the significance of corneal thickness medical testing in the area. The increasing prevalence of glaucoma patients, mostly in India, is predicted to fuel the region's rapid growth. In 2020, there were an estimated 76 million cases of glaucoma worldwide; India accounted for 20% of these instances. In the long run, there will likely be a high need for specific medical testing technologies, such as ocular pachymetry, due to the region's ageing population.

The market is growing in Europe due to improvements in the healthcare system and rising awareness of ocular health, with an emphasis on incorporating pachymetry into regular eye exams. Due to increased access to healthcare services and an increase in the prevalence of ocular illnesses, Latin America is showing an increasing need for corneal pachymetry. Rapid urbanization and rising disposable incomes in the Middle East are driving the adoption of modern diagnostic technologies, with a particular focus on handheld and portable pachymetry equipment to accommodate a variety of clinical settings.
