How has the surgical lasers market grown over the years?

There has been a rapid expansion in the size of the surgical lasers market in recent years. The predictions are for an increase from $7.17 billion in 2024 to $8.01 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%. This growth during the historical period is due to various factors including the evolution of CO2 lasers for specific surgical procedures, use of argon lasers in eye related treatments, the appearance of diode lasers for diverse applications, progress in excimer lasers for ocular surgeries, the integration of cooling functions in laser equipment, the implementation of fibre optic laser delivery, the broadening of laser applications in dental treatments, refinements in laser accuracy and targeting, the advent of high-power lasers for cancer therapies, and investments in research and development for minimally invasive laser systems.

What Is the forecasted market size and growth rate for the surgical lasers market?

Expectations suggest a swift expansion in the surgical lasers market, with projections estimating a market value of $12.32 billion in 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4%. Such significant advancement during the forecasted period can be credited to the rise of AI-embedded laser systems, progression in lightweight and compact laser apparatus, improved laser system efficiency and safety measures. Additionally, increasing innovation in photothermal and photochemical treatments, the creation of versatile laser platforms, inclusion of the internet of things (IoT) in laser systems, amplified real-time imaging capability for laser guidance, along with global surge in the demand for minimally intrusive treatments. The prominent trends anticipated during this period comprise faster approvals for AI-integrated devices, incentives for R&D in laser technology, the uptake of robotic-assisted surgical lasers, and innovative laser products.

What are the major factors driving growth in the surgical lasers market?

The increasing incidence of ophthalmic conditions is likely to fuel the expansion of the surgical laser market in the future. Ophthalmic conditions include health problems that affect not only the eyes but also related structures such as the eyelids, tear ducts, optic nerves, and surrounding tissues. Growing old age population, increased screen exposure, environmental pollution, genetic factors, and lifestyle adjustments are some of the factors responsible for the heightened instances of eye-related conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Surgical lasers play an instrumental role for patients with ophthalmic disorders by providing focussed light energy which precisely targets and treats specific tissues allowing for minimal invasive procedures that bring down recovery periods, mitigate complications, and enhance eyesight results in conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal disorders, which ultimately improves the quality of life for those affected by these conditions. For example, as published by the World Health Organization (WHO), a UN-affiliated public health agency based in Switzerland, in 2024 over 2.2 billion people across the globe were impacted by near or long-distance vision impairments. Key contributing factors were cataracts (94 million cases), refractive errors (88.4 million), age-related macular degeneration (8 million), glaucoma (7.7 million), and diabetic retinopathy (3.9 million). The increasing incidence of ophthalmic conditions is therefore a driving force for the growth of the surgical lasers market.
