Ophthalmic Sutures Market Growth & Trends:
The global ophthalmic sutures market size is expected to reach USD 706.5 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.2% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Key factors driving the market are rising geriatric population prone to eye-related disorders, coupled with increasing awareness regarding advanced surgical procedures. Increasing aging population is expected to contribute to the rising burden of glaucoma around the world. According to the American Society of Ophthalmology, cataract alone affected over 24.4 million Americans aged 40 or more in 2016.
Visual impairment is a global health concern. According WHO, it is estimated that around 1.3 million people live with some form of vision impairment currently. Technological advancements in the field of ophthalmology, such as self-sealing incisions, are expected to fuel market growth. Other factors driving the market are increasing awareness about various eye diseases, coupled with increasing number of ophthalmologists and better reimbursement policies.
Various government initiatives, increasing investments in research and development, and rising healthcare spending are also expected to propel the market over the forecast period. Furthermore, increasing number of ambulatory surgical centers and single-day surgeries is expected to propel the market. Most of the ophthalmic procedures are single-day surgeries, which do not require hospital stay. Thus, with increasing number of outpatient surgeries, the ophthalmic sutures market is expected to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period.
