The corneal transplantation market is projected to reach US$ 640.79 million by 2028 from US$ 420.71 million in 2021; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% during 2021 to 2028.

A cornea transplant (keratoplasty) is a surgical treatment that involves removing a portion of the cornea and replacing it with corneal tissue from a donor. The transparent, dome-shaped surface of the eye is known as the cornea. It is a large aspect of the eye's ability to see clearly because it is where light enters the eye. A cornea transplant can enhance the appearance of a damaged or diseased cornea while also restoring vision and reducing pain.

The growth of the corneal transplantation market is attributed to the increasing incidence of eye diseases, and the rising geriatric population. However, the risks associated with Corneal Transplantation and shortage of donor material hampers the market growth.

    Market Insights


    Surge in Geriatric Population

    The geriatric patient population is growing rapidly worldwide due to a significant rise in the subset of patients older than 80. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, 54.1 million people were aged 65 and above in 2019 (up from 39.6 million in 2020). The population will reach 80.8 million by 2040 and 94.7 million by 2060. As the number of geriatric people increases, the demands of this group for healthcare services also continue to grow. The aging of an ocular surface and corneal tissues, and the consequent impairment of visual functions lead to severe eye diseases and a significant impact on vision. The conditions that affect these vital parts of the eye place a critical medical and socioeconomic burden on society. Thus, the increase in the population of elderlies is driving the overall growth of the corneal transplant market.

      Frequently Asked Questions


      What is the market scenario of corneal transplantation?

      Corneal transplantation market is segmented by geography into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South and Central America. North America held the largest market share for corneal transplantation. The United States held the largest market in North America for corneal transplantation, and the market is expected to grow due to the rising prevalence of eye diseases such as keratoconus, Fuchs dystrophy, and infectious keratitis. In the USA, a study found a prevalence of 54.5 per 100,000 people. Also, the country has a significantly growing geriatric population, which is expected to lead the corneal transplantation procedures. However, Asia Pacific registered as the fastest-growing region in the global corneal transplantation market. The growth of the corneal transplantations market is expected to grow due to the rising prevalence of eye diseases and related factors. In China, eye diseases such as uncorrected sight problems, limited access to ophthalmologists in rural parts are driving the market growth. Whereas in Japan, the cost of eye health is rising significantly, and in India, the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy is growing exponentially. Also, factors such as the rising geriatric population in South Korea and global initiatives such as Vision 2020 Australia in Australia are likely to support the growth of the market during the forecast period.
