Middle East and Africa Micro Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) Devices Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029

Middle East and Africa Micro Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) Devices Market Analysis and Size

Micro invasive glaucoma surgery is used to treat open-angle glaucoma. Initially, to treat OAG, medication was given that reduced aqueous humor production or increased aqueous humor outflow. For mild to moderate OAG, traditionally, pharmacologic and laser treatment was performed. With the coming of micro invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) procedures, new options were created for those not fit for conventional surgery. An increase in the population of geriatrics and increasing government initiatives for the prevention of blindness are expected to boost the market. Rapid transition from glaucoma medication to minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries might be creating opportunities for the manufacturer of MIGS devices. However, poor reimbursement facilities might act as an obstacle for the market.

The rise in demand for micro invasive surgery is because of growing incidences of eye diseases, rising demand for micro invasive surgeries, and reduced surgical trauma, propelling the need for the market in the forecast period. However, the high installation cost and shortage of skilled professionals may hamper the minimally invasive surgery market growth in the forecast period.

Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the micro invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices market is expected to reach the value of USD 103.57 million by 2029, at a CAGR of 25.4% during the forecast period. “MIGS Stents" accounts for the largest technology segment in the micro invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices market due to rapid developments in technological pathways to commercialize the use of micro invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices. The micro invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices market report also covers technological advancements in depth.         

Market Definition

MIGS stands for micro invasive glaucoma surgery, which helps treat glaucoma. It is a breakthrough technology in the treatment of mild to moderate glaucoma. It is an alternative to the medications given earlier, and it also prevents the complications of conventional surgery. These procedures are used to lower the intra-ocular pressure of the eye to avoid damage to the optic nerve. These procedures are safer and have a very rapid recovery time compared to conventional surgery. The various MIGS devices implanted are shunts and stents to lower the IOP.

Micro Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) Devices Market Dynamics

• Increase in the geriatric population

A significant health-related issue among the elderly is vision loss. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, by age 65, one in three people suffer from vision-reducing eye disease. The elderly population is increasing rapidly. Therefore this creates a demand for advanced technologies to treat glaucoma amongst older adults. Hence, an increase in the geriatric population is a driver for the market.

• Rise in incidence of glaucoma across the world

The cause of irreversible global blindness is majorly glaucoma. A glaucoma is a group of eye disorders that have very little to no symptoms in the initial stage but afterward lead to damage of optic nerves, which can lead to vision loss or blindness. The prevalence of glaucoma has been increasing. Therefore this creates a demand for MIGS devices; hence an increasing incidence of glaucoma is expected to act as a driver for the market.

• Government initiatives to increase awareness about the prevention of blindness

According to WHO, at least 2.2 billion people have visual impairment and blindness, out of which at least 1 billion have a vision impairment that could have been prevented. To prevent these, the government of several countries across the globe have taken initiatives. This creates a demand for advanced treatments such as micro-invasive glaucoma surgery, which boosts the MIGS device market. Hence, it is expected to act as a driver for the market.

• Introduction of technological advanced product 

Glaucoma is a severe eye disease that can lead to vision loss if not controlled. It generally does not lead to blindness as it can be controlled by modern treatment and many options for preventing further damage. With the increased scientific developments, there has been a revolutionary change in the treatment of glaucoma. With the advent of micro-invasive glaucoma surgery, there is a paradigm shift in medicine as it can help in the treatment of glaucoma at an early stage and avoid the dependency on filtration surgeries like trabeculectomy. This also overcomes the risks associated with these incisional surgeries. There are various advancements in the treatment of glaucoma with MIGS.

Restraints/Challenges faced by the Market

• Stringent regulations for MIGS devices

There are at least 7 regulations that any device manufacturer must completely fulfill in the U.S., namely Establishment Registration & Medical Device Listing, Premarket Notification 510(k), Premarket Approval (PMA)(only for class three devices), Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) for clinical studies, Quality System (QS) regulation, Labeling requirements, and Medical Device Reporting (MDR). These highest-risk devices need a more stringent premarket application regulatory process to demonstrate valid evidence of safety and efficacy. Lengthy timelines result in delayed access, which might restrict the market for MIGS devices.

• High cost of surgical procedures

Though glaucoma treatments have modest results and are safer than traditional filtration surgeries, they have very high costs. Also, people may require subsequent surgeries if the intra-ocular pressure is not effectively lowered at once. All these considerations make these procedures highly costly and inaccessible to most people and hence, high surgical procedure costs might be a restraint on the market.

Recent Developments

• In January 2022, Glaukos announced GLK=301's first patient enrolment in the Phase II clinical trial for dry eye disease. After the successful approval from the regulatory body, this drug will help the company grow its business segment.
• In January 2022, Alcon acquired Ivantis, developer of the novel Hydrus Microstent, a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) device. This surgical device is designed to lower eye pressure for open-angle glaucoma patients. This acquisition will enhance the company’s portfolio in eye surgery segment.
