The Asia Pacific artificial cornea and corneal implant market is expected to reach US$ 163.61 million by 2028 from an estimated value of US$ 94.71 million in 2021; it is likely to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2021-2028.



The key factors that are driving the growth of market are rising prevalence of eye diseases that causes corneal blindness, significantly rising elderly population are factors propelling the artificial cornea and corneal implant market. However, the expensive ophthalmology surgeries and devices may hamper the growth of the Europe artificial cornea and corneal implant market in the forecast period.

According to American Academy of Ophthalmology 2021, there is a high demand for corneal donors around the world as ~10 million people need corneal transplants. However, the number of transplant recipients greatly exceeds the availability of corneal tissues. In densely populated counties, such as India, patients with blind cornea wait for corneal transplants for more than 6 months. According to National Center for Biotechnology Information, ~6.8 million people across the country have poor vision in one eye, and ~1 million people have both their eyes with poor vision, caused by corneal diseases. In 2019, corneal blindness affected ~120,000 people India, and by the end of 2020, it is estimated to have 10.6 million cases of unilateral corneal blindness. The country needs ~250,000 corneas each year; however, the total number of corneas donated each year is ~25,000. Thus, the shortage of corneal donors, in contrast with the high prevalence of corneal blindness, is expected to provide high growth opportunities for corneal implant manufacturers. A team of researchers from the Pohang University of Science and Technology, and the Kyungpook National University School of Medicine in South Korea collaborated to 3D print artificial corneas using tissue-based bio-inks; the research has been published in "Biofabrication", in 2018. Since the 3D printed corneas are made from corneal tissue materials, they are biocompatible, and the corneal microenvironment is reproduced through 3D cell printing technology to make them transparent, like human cornea. The 3D printed artificial corneas also help overcome the complications related to synthetic cornea implanted in patients with cataracts and other ocular complications. Furthermore, one of the key advantages of 3D printing is that collagen can be deposited in layers, which allows for the simulation of the composition of collagen fibers in the natural corneal matrix. Thus, upon their successful commercialization for clinical usage, the 3D printed biocorneas are likely to emerge as a significant trend in the artificial cornea and corneal implant market

Corneal transplantation suffered an early setback due to a reduction in elective procedures as resources were diverted to handling COVID-19-infected patients. The possibility of COVID-19 ocular involvement has consequences for corneal donation as well. The risk of transmitting the virus via corneal transplantation to recipients led to its suspension until adequate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing could be performed to exclude donor infection in some centers. Furthermore, the corneal donor supply chain has been impacted by worldwide travel restrictions. This is especially important in many regions of Asia, where demand for eye transplants is primarily dependent on imported donors due to a lack of local eye banks. This could spur research into lamellar keratoplasty, the development of artificial corneas, or cell treatment to improve donor utility. In the post-pandemic environment, evaluation of corneal disorders may see a paradigm change toward telemedicine or artificial intelligence to satisfy these unmet requirements across Asia.

The Insight Partners performs research in 4 major stages: Data Collection & Secondary Research, Primary Research, Data Analysis and Data Triangulation & Final Review.

  1. Data Collection and Secondary Research:

As a market research and consulting firm operating from a decade, we have published many reports and advised several clients across the globe. First step for any study will start with an assessment of currently available data and insights from existing reports. Further, historical and current market information is collected from Investor Presentations, Annual Reports, SEC Filings, etc., and other information related to company’s performance and market positioning are gathered from Paid Databases (Factiva, Hoovers, and Reuters) and various other publications available in public domain.

Several associations trade associates, technical forums, institutes, societies and organizations are accessed to gain technical as well as market related insights through their publications such as research papers, blogs and press releases related to the studies are referred to get cues about the market. Further, white papers, journals, magazines, and other news articles published in the last 3 years are scrutinized and analyzed to understand the current market trends.

  1. Primary Research:

The primarily interview analysis comprise of data obtained from industry participants interview and answers to survey questions gathered by in-house primary team.

For primary research, interviews are conducted with industry experts/CEOs/Marketing Managers/Sales Managers/VPs/Subject Matter Experts from both demand and supply side to get a 360-degree view of the market. The primary team conducts several interviews based on the complexity of the markets to understand the various market trends and dynamics which makes research more credible and precise.

A typical research interview fulfils the following functions:

  • Provides first-hand information on the market size, market trends, growth trends, competitive landscape, and outlook
