Uncover key drivers, emerging technologies, and competitive movements shaping the ophthalmic viscoelastic devices market from 2025–2034 with trusted insights from The Business Research Company

What Is The Predicted Size Of The Ophthalmic Viscoelastic Devices Industry By 2029?

The ophthalmic viscoelastic devices market size has experienced consistent expansion in recent years. It is projected to grow from $2.65 billion in 2024 to $2.72 billion in 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.5%. The expansion observed historically can be attributed to an increase in cataract surgeries, innovations in ophthalmic surgery techniques, the demographic trend of an aging population, a higher incidence of various eye disorders, and improved patient awareness coupled with greater access to eye care.

The ophthalmic viscoelastic devices market size is anticipated to demonstrate sustained growth over the next few years, projected to reach $3.3 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. This expansion during the forecast period is attributable to improvements in device technology, wider uses in eye surgery, increasing desire for premium intraocular lenses, worldwide initiatives for eye health and vision care, market entry into developing economies, as well as joint ventures and educational programs in ophthalmology. Significant patterns during this period encompass tailored ophthalmic products, adherence to regulations and quality assurance, strategic alliances and partnerships, consumer preference for high-end items, and ongoing advancements through research and development.

What Major Drivers Are Impacting The Ophthalmic Viscoelastic Devices Market?

The increasing incidence of cataracts and glaucoma is anticipated to drive the expansion of the ophthalmic viscoelastic devices market in the future. A cataract involves a clouding of the eye that results in reduced vision. Glaucoma refers to a collection of eye conditions that harm the optic nerve, often due to elevated pressure within the eye, and can lead to vision loss and blindness if left untreated. An ophthalmic viscoelastic device (OVD) is a gel-like material employed during eye surgeries, including procedures for cataracts and certain types of glaucoma. For instance, in October 2022, the BrightFocus Foundation, a US-based nonprofit organization, reported that there were 80 million glaucoma sufferers globally, with that number expected to climb to nearly 111 million by 2040. Thus, the escalating prevalence of cataracts and glaucoma is fueling the growth of the ophthalmic viscoelastic devices market.

Which Long-Term Trends Will Play A Crucial Role In The Ophthalmic Viscoelastic Devices Market?

Product innovations represent a significant trend gaining traction within the ophthalmic viscoelastic devices market. Companies engaged in this market are adopting new technologies to sustain their competitive standing. For instance, in April 2023, Bausch + Lomb Corporation, a US-based eye health company, introduced the StableVisc cohesive ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) and the TotalVisc Viscoelastic System. StableVisc, a cohesive OVD, aids in maintaining space within the anterior chamber of the eye, facilitating surgeons in the extraction and replacement of the clouded natural lens. The TotalVisc Viscoelastic System incorporates both StableVisc and ClearVisc, a dispersive OVD, and functions to protect ocular tissue during surgical procedures. These products feature sodium hyaluronate and sorbitol, a distinctive chemical compound that laboratory research has shown to provide enhanced free radical scavenging properties when compared to other OVDs tested. The TotalVisc OVD offers dual-action mechanical and chemical protection.
