North America Intraocular Pressure Monitors Market Outlook (2022-2033)

The North America intraocular pressure monitors market size is expected to reach US$ 631.3 million by 2033 from US$ 381.9 million in 2024. The market is estimated to record a CAGR of 7.1% from 2025 to 2033.

Executive Summary and North America Intraocular Pressure Monitors Market Analysis:

The intraocular pressure monitors market in North America is growing significantly due to the rising prevalence of glaucoma and diabetic eye diseases, an aging population needing regular IOP screenings, and increased awareness of early glaucoma detection. Despite being a mature market, innovation remains strong, as traditional practices blend with new technologies. Contact monitors, like Goldmann applanation tonometers and handheld devices, remain the most popular for their proven accuracy. However, non-contact monitors are gaining traction for high-volume screenings. Hospitals and clinics are the main users, supported by glaucoma specialists and advanced diagnostic tools. Regulatory factors, reimbursement policies, and investments in ophthalmic research also shape the market, though access remains a challenge for rural and disadvantaged communities. The market assessment shows a balance between clinical reliability and technological innovation. North America serves as a hub for both traditional and next-generation IOP monitors.

North America Intraocular Pressure Monitors Market Segmentation Analysis

Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the intraocular pressure monitors market analysis are product and end user.

• By product, the intraocular pressure monitors market is segmented into contact monitors, non-contact monitors, and wearable IOP sensors. The contact monitors segment dominated the market in 2024. This is the largest segment due to their established clinical accuracy and continued reliance on Goldmann applanation and handheld devices across North American ophthalmology practices.
• By end user, the market is segmented into hospitals and clinics, home-care Settings, ambulatory surgical centers, and other end users. The hospitals and clinics segment held the largest market share in 2024. This is the largest segment due to advanced infrastructure, high patient volumes, and concentration of glaucoma specialists in North American healthcare systems.

North America Intraocular Pressure Monitors Market Outlook

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ market for North America IOP monitors is, to a large extent, influenced by changes in technologies, demographics, and health care policies. Since glaucoma is still one of the major causes of permanent blindness, requirements for devices capable of early detection and regular monitoring will be the main market drivers. The demand for non-contact IOP monitors will grow in community health programs, whereas wearable IOP sensors will be the fastest-growing segment as the trend toward personalized and home-based care is gaining popularity. Besides that, the compatibility of the devices with digital health platforms and teleophthalmology services will be a great support for their use in places outside of the traditional clinical settings, as healthcare providers will be able to reach more patients remotely. Innovations are expected to be propelled by the collaborations between healthcare system partners and device manufacturers, whereas regulations will bring confidence to the practitioners. These factors point to a market path that is characterized by innovation, accessibility, and incorporation into the wider digital health ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ecosystems.

North America Intraocular Pressure Monitors Market Country Insights

Based on country, the North America intraocular pressure monitors market is segmented into the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The United States held the largest share in 2024.

Insights​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ at the country level show unique dynamics in the US, Canada, and Mexico. The US is the leader of the region, a position that is largely attributed to the availability of advanced ophthalmic infrastructure, substantial investment in R&D, and the wide use of both contact and non-contact monitors. Canada exhibits strong demand for non-contact devices, mainly in public health programs that focus on preventive eye care and community screenings. In Mexico, the ophthalmic infrastructure is still in the process of development; however, the country is turning into a growth market as a result of the government-supported initiatives to facilitate access to glaucoma diagnostics and the formation of partnerships with international manufacturers. Rural and deprived areas in all three countries emphasize the need for portable and affordable solutions, with handheld contact monitors most often being the preferred option. At the same time, urban centers are progressively using wearable IOP sensors and are incorporating them into teleophthalmology platforms, which is indicative of a move towards modernized, patient-centric care. These country insights highlight the variation of adoption patterns within North America, where advanced markets are the drivers of innovation.
