Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Market: Revolutionizing Diagnostic Imaging in Ophthalmology

Optical Coherence Tomography Industry Size 

Global Optical Coherence Tomography Market reached US$ 1.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 2.8 billion by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period 2024-2031. 

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that utilizes light to generate cross-sectional images of tissue structures on a micron scale, providing real-time visualization in situ. It serves as a valuable tool for optical biopsies, particularly in areas where conventional imaging methods are impractical. OCT, based on fiber optics, can be integrated with various tools such as catheters, laparoscopes, endoscopes, and surgical probes, enabling imaging of internal body structures.

One of the significant advantages of OCT in managing vitreoretinal disorders is its ability to capture three-dimensional relationships between the vitreous, retina, and extraretinal membranes. OCT finds application in diagnosing various eye conditions including macular hole, macular edema, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, among others. Moreover, OCT is increasingly utilized for detecting and diagnosing additional disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, non-melanoma skin cancer, prostate cancer, and age-related macular disease.

The growth of the optical coherence tomography market is propelled by the rising incidence of ophthalmic disorders and ongoing market developments, including mergers, acquisitions, and product launches. Furthermore, efforts to raise awareness about ophthalmic disorders and the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, non-melanoma skin cancer, prostate cancer, and age-related macular disease contribute to the global market growth in the forecast period.

Optical Coherence Tomography Industry Trends 

The increasing prevalence of ophthalmic disorders, particularly conditions like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, is driving the growth of the global optical coherence tomography (OCT) market.

Glaucoma, characterized by irreversible blindness due to optic nerve damage, requires early detection and monitoring for effective management. OCT has become a widely used imaging modality for detecting and monitoring structural deterioration associated with glaucoma, contributing to its adoption in clinical practice. Additionally, the high prevalence of diabetic retinopathy, a complication of diabetes impacting millions of individuals globally, is expected to further boost market growth.

Moreover, other ophthalmic disorders are also contributing to the market's expansion. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2023 report, approximately 2.2 billion individuals globally have near or distant vision impairment, with around 1 billion cases potentially preventable or yet to be addressed. Refractive errors and cataracts are identified as the leading causes of vision impairment and blindness worldwide.

Among the affected population, cataracts affect over 94 million individuals, refractive errors impact around 88.4 million people, age-related macular degeneration accounts for over 8 million cases, while glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy affect approximately 7.7 million and 3.9 million individuals, respectively. Presbyopia, an age-related condition, impacts around 826 million individuals, contributing to near vision impairment.

Overall, the increasing prevalence of these ophthalmic disorders underscores the growing demand for OCT imaging technology, driving market growth in the forecast period.
