Europe Ophthalmology Market Analysis and Size
One of the primary factors driving the growth of the ophthalmology market is the rising prevalence of ophthalmic disorders & ocular pains. The continuing clinical trial research being conducted by several pharmaceutical businesses to better treatment choices and exposure to certain toxins or environmental changes increase the occurrence of ophthalmology products and leads to market expansion. The market is also influenced by increased unhygienic & sedentary lifestyles and a rise in traumatic injuries. However, high cost & risks associated with eye surgery & treatment, lack of health insurance amongst the population, especially within developing countries, and prolonged-time period for manufacturing & formulating ophthalmic drugs acts as restraining factor for the Europe ophthalmology market in the forecast period.
The Europe ophthalmology market is expected to gain market growth in the forecast period of 2023 to 2030. Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the market is growing with a CAGR of 5.8% in the forecast period of 2023 to 2030 and is expected to reach USD 23,186.51 million by 2030, from USD 14,789.41 million in 2022.

Market Definition
Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine that deals with the anatomy, physiology, treatment and surgery of the visual pathways of the eye, including surrounding areas and the visual aspects of the brain. Ophthalmic devices are medical equipment designed for surgery, diagnosis, and vision correction. The devices gained increased importance and adoption due to the high prevalence of several ophthalmic diseases, such as glaucoma, cataract, and other vision-related issues. Ophthalmic drugs are medications that are specially designed and administered for the treatment of various eye-related disorders, including color blindness, diabetic macular edema, cytomegalovirus (CMV), and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Ophthalmology Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
Drivers
- Rising prevalence of ophthalmic disorders & ocular pains
Ophthalmic disorders are the vital cause of major ocular and orbital pains in the eye. Ocular pain occurs over the surface of the eyes along with symptoms such as scratching, burning, or itching sensation. This may be due to multiple reasons, including irritation from foreign objects, infection or trauma. Eyelashes or pieces of dirt, smoke, dust or some harsh eye cosmetics are the common causes leading to ocular pain, redness, and watery eyes.
The prevalence of ocular pain keeps showing a surge in growth as chemical industries and pollution around the world are growing. Chemical burns and flash burns cause significant and severe ocular pain due to irritations over the eye surface. Style and blepharitis lead to severe ocular pain as they cause eye and oil glands to be more sensitive around the area. The affirmative factor states that this is the major driver for the Europe ophthalmology market.
- Rise in traumatic injuries
Traumatic head injury is one of the causes of such disorders as optic nerve disorders. A traumatic injury is a physical injury that occurs suddenly with a certain degree of severity. Trauma can be caused by a variety of external injuries. The most common causes of traumatic injury include road accidents, sports injuries, and violence, among others which can lead to some serious eye disorders as well. The prevalence of such traumatic injuries is highly seen worldwide.
Hence, such traumatic injuries lead to optic nerve disorders, which are affecting the population in these years and it is increasing with the rising population. Therefore, a rise in traumatic injuries is expected to drive market growth.
Opportunities
-
Rise in healthcare expenditure and disposable income
Healthcare expenditure and its growth rate over time are inclined by a wide variety of economic and social factors, including the financing arrangements and structure of the organization of the health system.
Healthcare expenditure has increased across the world as people's disposable income in various countries is increasing. Moreover, to accomplish the population requirements, government bodies and healthcare organizations are taking initiatives by virtue of accelerating healthcare expenditure.
Growing healthcare expenditure is also beneficial for further economic growth and healthcare sector growth. It is primarily fruitful as it significantly affects the development of better and more advanced medical products in the market. Therefore, the surge in healthcare expenditure may act as a great opportunity for market growth.
-
Rising awareness to prevent the burden of eye diseases
Significant advancements in the prevention of visual impairment have been made to battle visible diseases by various organizations such as World Health Organization (WHO) and its Member States, UN agencies, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and the private sector. Therefore, the second Thursday of October is World Sight Day (WSD), an annual awareness day to create Europe attention on blindness and vision impairment.
Thus, the programs and initiatives to reduce the burden of eye diseases are expected to create opportunities for the growth of the Europe ophthalmology market in the forecast period.
Restraints/Challenges
- High cost & risks associated with eye surgery & treatment
The cost of the various disorders treatment plays a major role in the market. The optic nerve disorders treatments are highly sophisticated, as the prevalence of such disorders is increasing; hence the need for such products has eventually raised, thereby raising the treatment cost, which can hinder the market growth in the coming years.
There are various methods for the treatment of optic neuritis disorder. Some of them are patients can take various medicines such as corticosteroids like methylprednisolone, prednisone, immunoglobulin, vitamin B12 shots and various other surgeries. With these, there are some of the risks associated with it.
Therefore, for some of the population around the country, it is difficult for them to undergo such treatments due to the high cost. Hence, the high cost associated with ophthalmic disorders treatment is expected to restrain market growth.
- Lack of skilled professionals
The number of ophthalmologists in both emerging and industrialized countries is minor. However, projections are a little higher for developing countries. The number of ophthalmologists is cumulative but not as fast as the population of elderly patients aged 60 years or older who need to be amplified ophthalmologic care. In most countries, the problem is that demographic changes do not match up with professional development. It is required to train eye care teams to meet the current number of ophthalmologists worldwide. The increased need for ophthalmologists globally also reflects an increase in the cases of diabetes. Diabetic patients should get their eyes inspected every year. The increasing demand for ophthalmologists is directly proportional to the growing geriatric population since eye care is an integral part of healthcare. The access to care gaps can be met by combining factors, including more efficient practice structures, processes and appropriate use of technology.
Post-COVID-19 Impact on the Ophthalmology Market
The COVID-19 pandemic had a great impact on the ophthalmology and surgical industries. Trade groups in the ophthalmic and vision products sector claim that the Europe supply chain for operating, diagnostic and vision care products has been significantly damaged, impacting end-user consumption of the ophthalmology market. Sales of vision care products in the first quarter of 2020 were significantly delayed due to logistical and transportation issues. On the demand side, the market is increasing as people have to get operated after the lockdown scenario. The situation needs to be taken into consideration, and emergency operations need to be operated. Furthermore, on the supply side, the growth of the market is on a negative scale. This is due to the lockdown situations in many countries manufacturing diagnostic, operating and vision care instruments.
