Market Analysis

According to the study, approximately 48% of the world's population is blind due to cataracts, and more than 60 million people suffer from glaucoma, with the number expected to rise to 90 million by the end of 2022. Ageing populations are the leading cause of refractive error problems in countries such as the United States and Europe; it has been observed that refractive error problems are most prevalent in people over the age of 40. The ophthalmology market has experienced a significant decline during the economic downturn of 2008–2009, but it is now recovering and returning to normal as a result of the rapid population growth that has led to an increase in the number of patients with eye diseases and an annual rise in the incidence of cataract and glaucoma.

Importance and scope:

The field of Ophthalmology: Ocular Treatment & Care is rapidly expanding, and its advancement is having a significant impact on medical and health sciences, as well as pharmaceuticals. The Euro Optometry 2025 conference will focus on the most recent and exciting innovations in the fields of eye surgery, diagnostics, and new technologies in eye care.

It will also provide an excellent opportunity to meet leading eye surgeons, world-class eye care specialists, ophthalmologists, optometrists, research scientists, and young student researchers working in the related field. The Euro Optometry 2025  Conference will include keynote sessions, workshops, and a focused symposium on the most recent developments in the field of one of the sense organs, Eye health. The two-day Euro Optometry 2025 conference will feature major sessions on Retinal diseases and disorders, Research Trends in Surgical and Medical Ophthalmology, Novel Approaches to Ophthalmology Therapeutics, Ocular-Pathology, Optometry, and Vision Science. Additionally, Euro Optometry 2025 serves as a forum for Ophthalmologists, Optometrists, Researchers, Associate Professors, and Scholars from the academic and ophthalmic communities to exchange knowledge, develop innovative solutions, and improve their working relationships.

Euro Optometry 2025 statistical surveying:

The ophthalmology market is recovering to get back to normal after being severely destroyed by the financial crisis in 2010–2013. A rapidly growing population is leading to an increase in patients with eye diseases, and the incidence of glaucoma and cataracts is rising each year.

According to a study, there are already over 60 million people suffering from glaucoma, with the number expected to reach 80 million by the end of 2022. Around 48% of the population is estimated to be visually impaired due to cataracts. The ophthalmology market is divided into four segments: surgical devices, demonstrative and testing devices, vision mind, and ophthalmic medications.

Significance and extension:

Euro Optometry 2023 improves ophthalmic education to improve eye mind. Foundations such as (NIE, Wilmer are included) Contribute to global vision protection and reconstruction. Ophthalmology remains an appealing field of solution with fantastic opportunities.

The Conference Series cordially invites all ophthalmologists, optometrists, research scholars, industrial professionals, and student delegates from the biomedical and healthcare sectors to attend Euro Optometry 2025 .

Ophthalmology keeps on being an appealing field of solution with awesome openings.

As per WHO:

• 285 million individuals are assessed to be outwardly impeded around the world: 39 million are visually impaired and 246 have low vision.
• Around 90% of the world's outwardly hindered live in low-pay settings.
• 82% of individuals living with visual impairment are matured 50 or more.
• Universally, uncorrected refractive mistakes are the primary driver of direct and extreme visual hindrance; waterfalls remain the main source of visual impairment in center and low-pay nations.
• The quantity of individuals outwardly disabled from irresistible ailments has lessened over the most recent 20 years as per worldwide appraisals work.
• 80% of all visual disability can be anticipated or cured.
• Waterfall expulsion is the most regularly performed ophthalmic surgical activity.

Eye Disease world-wide basis:

Globally, it is estimated that at least 2.2 billion individuals are blind or have vision impairments, with at least 1 billion of those cases being preventable or unaddressed. Included in this 1 billion people are those who have moderate to severe distance vision impairment or blindness brought on by untreated refractive error (123.7 million), cataract (65.2 million), glaucoma (6.9 million), corneal opacities (4.2 million), diabetic retinopathy (3 million), and trachoma (2 million), as well as near vision impairment brought on by untreated presbyopia (826 million).

In terms of regional differences, the prevalence of distance vision impairment is estimated to be four times higher in low- and middle-income regions than in high-income regions. Concerning near vision, rates of untreated near vision impairment are estimated to be greater than 80% in western, eastern, and central Sub-Saharan Africa, while rates in high-income regions such as North America, Australasia, Western Europe, and Asia-Pacific are reported to be less than 10%. Population growth and ageing will increase the likelihood of more people developing vision impairment.

Global Distribution:

The market for ophthalmological therapies is expanding as a result of changing food and lifestyle patterns as well as longer lifespans: according to GBI Research, the global ophthalmic device market is anticipated to rise at a 2.5% compound annual growth rate from 2009 to 2016 to reach $28 billion. The global market for ophthalmic products exceeds $22 billion (US) and is growing at a rate of more than 10% annually. Without consumer eye care goods, the market for ophthalmic products would be roughly $17 billion. Sales will increase through 2024 due to rising demand for ophthalmic products and expanding healthcare coverage in emerging markets.

The Japanese medical device market is primarily made up of medical equipment such as consumables, orthopaedic devices, dental devices, respiratory devices, and ophthalmic devices manufactured in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain. The demand for medical devices in Japan has been increasing due to a growing awareness of the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of disease states. Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, and France were among the key countries that contributed significantly to the development of the medical devices market between 2008 and 2013. Germany is a major medical instrument development market, and it has been observed that the country contributes significantly to medical device exports.
