The Global Tonometer Market size is expected to reach $544.6 million by 2030, rising at a market growth of 5.6% CAGR during the forecast period.
The glaucoma patients in North America have expanded, therefore, the North America region would capture approximately 1/3rd share of the market by 2030. The presence of major competitors in the region, streamlined reimbursement procedures, and an increase in the prevalence of glaucoma is anticipated to fuel the regional market's expansion. The region is also seeing a rising prevalence of glaucoma risk factors like diabetes, myopia, and hypertension. Growing behavioral risk factors like smoking, drinking, eating poorly, and leading a sedentary lifestyle are mostly responsible for this. Some of the factors impacting the market are growing number of camps for eye examinations and glaucoma awareness campaigns, increase in the frequency of glaucoma Insufficient staff, and resources for healthcare in LMICs.
It is essentially possible to prevent vision loss and blindness by being aware of and detecting ophthalmic disorders like glaucoma that cause eye difficulties early on. As a result, raising public awareness of the condition may be crucial in its prevention, regular eye exams, and measures to ward off blindness. In addition, the campaign included a fundraising incentive that equaled every dollar received up to $20,000 in favor of the GRF study for glaucoma treatment. Such actions performed by the associations of powerful nations encourage individuals to seek regular eye exams and raise their awareness of the condition, which helps the market. According to the National Library of Medicine, with a 2.2% global frequency, primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is thought to affect 57.5 million individuals worldwide. The prevalence of POAG in Europe is 2.51%, affecting 7.8 million people. In the UK, POAG is the most widespread form of glaucoma, affecting 2% of people over 40 and 10% of people over 75, primarily people of African and Caribbean descent. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of glaucoma has raised serious concerns regarding the overall health of individuals, which in turn is driving the demand for tonometers.
However, despite political and financial commitment at the international, regional, national, and district levels, the majority of LMICs (low- and middle-income countries) in the rest of the world still have unmet needs and insufficient funding for health care. The National Library of Medicine reports that only five of the 21 sub-Saharan African countries evaluated today have ophthalmologists who fulfill WHO requirements, and by 2020, it is not anticipated that the situation will change. Contrarily, none of the 21 countries had the recommended number of optometrists, and only four of the 21 countries had enough ophthalmologists to care for a million patients. Therefore, the lack of infrastructure in such areas may limit the market's expansion.
Based on type, the market is characterized into applanation tonometer, rebound tonometer, indentation tonometer, and pascal dynamic contour tonometer. The applanation tonometer segment garnered the highest revenue share in the market in 2022. The introduction of technologically upgraded tonometers with enhanced diagnostic precision and patient comfort elements aids in the segment's expansion. The test known as applanation tonometry gauges the fluid pressure inside the eye. In essence, the test evaluates the amount of pressure required to temporarily flatten a portion of the cornea. It is utilized in the glaucoma diagnosing process.
Based on end-use, the market is segmented into hospitals, ophthalmic centers, and others. The hospitals segment garnered a remarkable growth rate in the market in 2022. For eye therapy, hospitals can either have a general department or a dedicated ophthalmology clinic, which necessitates the large-scale acquisition of tonometer testing equipment. The segment is anticipated to expand significantly throughout the projected period of time as glaucoma care costs are paid in various nations, including the United States and Germany.
By portability, the market is divided into desktop and handheld. The handheld segment recorded a significant revenue share in the market in 2022. Commercially available portable tonometers include the tono-pen, rebound tonometer, and Perkins tonometer. The factors anticipated to propel the growth of the segment in the coming years are the portable tonometer's portability, ease of use, and improved patient comfort. These are utilized in places where there are more patients. They are more frequently used in IOP screening because they are portable, easy to use, and provide accurate findings.
