Drivers

Increasing Healthcare Expenditure

• The global healthcare expenditure has been steadily increasing, driven by economic growth, expanding health insurance coverage, and government initiatives to improve healthcare infrastructure. This rise in healthcare spending has positively impacted the ophthalmic diagnostic devices market as healthcare facilities and professionals invest in advanced diagnostic equipment to deliver high-quality eye care services.

• The shift toward decentralized healthcare and the increasing demand for point-of-care testing have influenced the ophthalmic diagnostic devices market. Point-of-care devices enable rapid diagnosis and immediate treatment decisions, eliminating the need for additional appointments and reducing the burden on healthcare systems. Portable devices such as handheld tonometers and handheld fundus cameras are gaining popularity, especially in remote or underserved areas.

Restraints

Limited Awareness and Infrastructure

In some regions, particularly low- and middle-income countries, there may be limited awareness about eye health and the importance of regular eye examinations. Lack of awareness can lead to a delay in seeking eye care services and low demand for ophthalmic diagnostic devices. Additionally, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, including eye care facilities and equipment, can hamper the adoption and usage of these devices, further hindering market growth.
