How Is The Market Size Of The Cataract Surgery Devices And Equipment Market Expected To Change Between 2026 And 2030?
The market for cataract surgery devices and equipment has shown consistent expansion in recent years. This market is projected to expand from $14.52 billion in 2025 to $15.02 billion in 2026, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5%. The historical growth of this market can be attributed to an aging global population, the increasing occurrence of cataract conditions, the establishment of more ophthalmic surgical facilities, a growing preference for minimally invasive eye surgeries, and the widespread availability of advanced surgical instruments.
The cataract surgery devices and equipment market size is forecast to experience steady growth in the next few years, reaching $17.2 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4%. The growth anticipated in this period is driven by an increasing demand for customized intraocular lenses, the rising adoption of laser-assisted cataract surgery, the expansion of ambulatory ophthalmology centers, growing investments in eye care infrastructure, and technological advancements in surgical visualization systems. Key trends during the forecast period encompass the increasing adoption of premium and multifocal IOLs, the rising use of femtosecond laser-assisted surgery, a growing demand for advanced phacoemulsification systems, the expansion of outpatient cataract surgery centers, and an enhanced focus on surgical precision and outcomes.

What Drivers Are Expected To Influence The Cataract Surgery Devices And Equipment Market During The Forecast Period?
The increasing number of older adults is anticipated to fuel expansion within the cataract surgery devices and equipment market going forward. This demographic, defined as individuals aged 65 and over, is particularly susceptible to developing cataracts as they age, thereby elevating the need for cataract surgery devices due to the resulting visual impairment. As a result, the expanding elderly population has created a greater requirement for cataract surgery procedures and associated medical instruments. For example, in January 2024, the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), a US-based private non-profit organization, projected that the number of Americans aged 65 and older will increase from 58 million in 2022 to 82 million by 2050, marking a 47% rise. Furthermore, this age cohort’s share of the overall population is expected to climb from 17% to 23%. This evolution signifies a considerable aging pattern within the U.S. population, with these forecasts emphasizing the growing necessity to cater to the requirements of seniors across diverse industries. Consequently, the expanding geriatric population is propelling the development of the cataract surgery devices and equipment market.

Which Trends Are Shaping The Future Of The Cataract Surgery Devices And Equipment Market?
Leading companies within the cataract surgery devices and equipment market are focused on creating novel products, like the VERITAS Vision System, aiming to elevate surgical precision and patient results. The VERITAS Vision System represents an advanced phacoemulsification technology, specifically engineered to enhance patient safety, optimize surgeon efficiency, and ensure comfort. An example of this innovation is Johnson & Johnson, a pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical technologies company based in the US, introducing the Tecnis PureSee intraocular lens (IOL) in February 2024. This TECNIS PureSee IOL incorporates a unique, purely refractive design, which delivers consistently high-quality visual acuity, outstanding contrast, and superior performance in low-light conditions, comparable to monofocal IOLs. Globally, cataract surgery remains the most frequently performed surgical procedure, accounting for approximately 28 million interventions each year. Despite this, only 10-15% of patients opt for advanced optical IOLs tailored for correcting astigmatism and presbyopia. Presently, both surgeons and patients encounter compromises when choosing an IOL, often involving a decision between achieving clear vision across various distances and the possibility of experiencing glares or halos. The TECNIS PureSee aims to resolve these issues, thereby improving outcomes for both patients and medical professionals.
