Excimer & Femtosecond Ophthalmic Lasers Market: Strategic Insights

Market Insights

Significant Rise in Elderly Population

Rise in geriatric population in countries such as the US, the UK, Canada, Japan, China, India, and South Korea is driven by the modernization of healthcare facilities and improvements in healthcare services, which boosts the life expectancy in these countries. According to the data by the WHO in February 2018, the geriatric population is estimated to rise from 12% in 2015 to 22% by 2050. According to the US Census Bureau, the number of people in the US with age 65 and above is anticipated to grow from 46 million in 2016 to more than 98 million by 2060, while their population share would grow from ~15% to ~24% during this period. As per the United Nation’s World Population Ageing 2017 report, in 2017, Europe had the world’s highest percentage (i.e., 25%) of people aged more than 60 years. Further, by 2050, all regions of the world, except Africa, would have ~25% or more of their populations aged 60 and above, and underdeveloped and developing countries would account for ~80% of this growth.

The loss of vision is a major health problem among the elderlies. Age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy are among the most common causes of vision loss among people from this age group. Age-related macular degeneration results in the loss of central vision. Optic nerve injury and visual field loss can occur as a result of primary open-angle glaucoma. As this ailment can be asymptomatic at first, elderly people need regular check-ups. Although cataracts are the common source of visual issues in these people. However, cataracts can usually be removed through surgical procedures. Diabetic retinopathy is also common among older people during the early stages of diabetes or at the time of diagnosis. A mydriatic examination is recommended when a patient is diagnosed with diabetes, followed by once a year visit thereafter.

According to the American Institute of Ophthalmology, ~24.4 million people of age below 40 undergo cataract surgery, and ~5% of all Americans undergo cataract surgery by the age of 75. Furthermore, glaucoma cases are on the rise, and the condition affects over 2.7 million Americans of age 40 and above. New eye diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration, which affects over 2.1 million Americans of age 50 and above, can cause serious vision loss. Thus there is a significantly high adoption of new technologies, such as femtosecond lasers, in cataract surgery, which involves a large upfront investment but promises improvements in patient outcomes. Thus, the rise in geriatric population fuels the growth of the excimer & femtosecond ophthalmic lasers market.
