Asia Pacific Excimer and Femtosecond Ophthalmic Lasers Market

Market Introduction

APAC excimer & femtosecond ophthalmic lasers market is analyzed based on the six major countries such as China, Japan, India, Australia, South Korea, and the rest of APAC. The APAC region is expected to be the fastest-growing region among all other regions. The growth of the market in the APAC region is expected to grow at a faster pace owing to factors such as growth of the rapid growth in the geriatric population, the rise in healthcare awareness pertaining to the importance of eye health, and the increase in the number of cataract and refractive surgeries. Additionally, developing healthcare infrastructure and increasing investments to boost the manufacturing capacities are projected to drive the APAC excimer & femtosecond ophthalmic lasers market during the forecast period.

COVID-19 had a tremendous impact on eye care delivery across the APAC region. In Bangladesh, all routine elective eye surgeries were postponed. Only emergency eye treatment was conducted only at outpatient departments. Moreover, patients were allowed to go to the hospital only in the case of an emergency. Similarly, in India, outreach eye health services stopped largely, thus, impacting the rural communities. All elective surgeries were postponed. Patients with non-cataract conditions like diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma were affected due to the break in follow-ups.

Additionally, COVID-19 impacted eye care in the Maldives. Due to the lockdown, people could not travel from one place to the other. Air and sea transport was at a standstill, and people from the outlying islands could not visit the nearest center for eye care. A few centers in the capital Male were offering online consultations to patients. However, this has limitations, and healthcare professionals cannot do refractions online. A detailed anterior segment and posterior segment examination are also not possible. Thus, COVID-19 is significantly affecting the quality and quantity of eye care.                    

Market Overview and Dynamics

The excimer & femtosecond ophthalmic lasers market in APAC is expected to grow from US$ 154.54 million in 2021 to US$ 228.31 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2021 to 2028. Rise in geriatric population in countries such as Japan, China, India, and South Korea is driven by the modernization of healthcare facilities and improvements in healthcare services, which boosts the life expectancy in these countries. According to the data by the WHO in February 2018, the geriatric population is estimated to rise from 12% in 2015 to 22% by 2050. The loss of vision is a major health problem among the elderlies. Age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy are among the most common causes of vision loss among people from this age group. Age-related macular degeneration results in the loss of central vision. Optic nerve injury and visual field loss can occur as a result of primary open-angle glaucoma. As this ailment can be asymptomatic at first, elderly people need regular check-ups. Although cataracts are the common source of visual issues in these people. However, surgeries to remove cataracts are usually successful. Diabetic retinopathy is also common among older people during the early stages of diabetes or at the time of diagnosis. A mydriatic examination is recommended when a patient is diagnosed with diabetes, as well as once a year thereafter. Thus, the rise in geriatric population fuels the growth of the excimer & femtosecond ophthalmic lasers market.
