European countries are experiencing a significant increase in the geriatric patient population, especially those with an age greater than 80. As per the UN Population Aging 2019 report, the number of people aged 80 or above nearly tripled from 1990 to 2019 in the world. As the geriatric population increases, the demands for healthcare services required for this group also continue to grow. The aging of an ocular surface and corneal tissues, and the consequent impairment of visual functions lead to severe eye diseases and significantly impact vision. The conditions that affect these vital parts of the eye place a critical medical and socioeconomic burden on society. Corneal transplantation is a part of keratoplasty procedures, such as endothelial keratoplasty and penetrating keratoplasty. The geriatric population is highly susceptible to Fuchs' dystrophy, a condition treated by endothelial keratoplasty (EK). In addition, bullous keratopathy occurs in older adults undergoing cataract surgeries, such as EK. Thus, the increase in the population of elderlies is driving the overall growth of the Europe corneal transplant market.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Europe corneal transplantation market. The Europe corneal transplantation market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
