Automated Ophthalmic Perimeters Market Analysis

The Automated Ophthalmic Perimeters Market studied is expected to grow with an estimated CAGR of 4.8%, over the forecast period.

COVID-19 related restrictions such as lockdown and restrictions on manufacturing activities have negatively impacted the market for automated ophthalmic perimeters. However, deteriorating vision quality due to prolonged mask use and a rising number of ophthalmic complications related to the pandemic are anticipated to boost the growth of the Automated Ophthalmic Perimeters Market. According to an article published by PubMed in 2021, the inappropriate wearing of face masks can cause visual field artifacts, which may be interpreted as low-test reliability or glaucoma progression.

The visual field can be impaired due to diverse diseases mostly by oculars such as retinitis pigmentosa, glaucoma, neurological disorders, and diabetic retinopathy. Ophthalmic perimeters are used in the diagnosis and detection of age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, brain abnormalities, and scotomas. Automated perimetry offers several advantages over manual perimetry in that recording of patient responses as well as stimulus presentation can be standardized, leading to more reproducible results. Also, it delivers more sensitive and accurate findings in a timely manner, offers quantitative information, and early detection of glaucomatous damage is possible due to newer perimetric tests. This has increased the demand for automated ophthalmic perimeters in the industry.

The high prevalence of ophthalmic diseases is anticipated to drive the Automated Ophthalmic Perimeters Market over the forecast period. According to the World Health Organization in 2021, approximately 2.2 billion people have a near or distance vision impairment globally in 2020. Also, according to the World Health Organization estimation in 2021, approximately 76 and 195.6 million people were affected by glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration respectively in 2020.

Furthermore, the growing geriatric population is anticipated to propel the market over the forecast period. According to the World Population Ageing 2019 report published by United Nations, about 703 million people were aged 65 years or over in 2019 and projected to double (1.5 billion) by 2050. However, the scarcity of ophthalmologists, the high cost of automated ophthalmic perimeters, and increased competition and price pressure among major device manufacturers are likely to restrain the market growth over the forecast period.
