Market Drivers & Challenges

Growth Indicators

Growing Prevalence of Presbyopia across the Asia-Pacific Region

Presbyopia is one of the most common vision disorders that require professional ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment. These disorders have been found to be prevalent in people across all genders and ages. Since the occurrence rate of presbyopia is increasing across the Asia-Pacific region owing to unhealthy lifestyle and other causes such as environmental changes, the Asia-Pacific presbyopia treatment market is anticipated to record a significant growth over the forecast period. 

Increasing Geriatric Population to Drive the Market Growth

According to the statistics by the World Bank, population ages 65 and above in the East Asia & Pacific increased from 10.3% of total population in the year 2017 to 11.179% of total population in the year 2019.

The occurrence rate of vision related disorders has been recorded very high among older population or people with age of more than or equal to 40. Increasing number of elderly people living with presbyopia is a major factor that is expected to drive the growth of this market across all the countries of Asia-Pacific region. Further, rising occurrence of diabetic retinopathy and other eye related disorders amongst geriatric population is fueling the requirement for ophthalmic diagnostic and testing, which in turn is anticipated to boost the growth of Asia-Pacific presbyopia treatment market in the upcoming years.

Barriers

Rising Healthcare Cost And Lack Of Sufficient Healthcare Personnel

Presbyopia treatment equipment manufacturing companies usually fail to meet the increasing demand for ophthalmology clinical treatment. To meet the rising demand for ophthalmology clinical treatment, there is an increase in the imports of the equipment required for the treatment, which is further adding up to the cost of presbyopia treatment. Moreover, lack of sufficiently trained healthcare personnel owing to the absence of standardized training procedures in the developing countries such as Indonesia, South Africa and others is projected to hamper the growth of Asia-Pacific presbyopia treatment market in the upcoming years.

Economic Conditions To Affect The Asia Pacific Presbyopia Treatment Market

It has been observed that patients tend to avoid surgeries or are not referring physicians for their regular eye exams owing to the fear of out-of-pocket expenditure. This factor is limiting the number of patients visiting the surgery center, especially in developing countries where the access to affordable healthcare is one of the major detrimental factor in any product adoption.

Impact Of COVID-19 on Asia-Pacific Presbyopia Treatment Market

The coronavirus pandemic is causing changes in the healthcare industry in each of the countries of the Asia-Pacific region. Yet those hailing from advanced health firms are more hopeful than others within the business that these progressions will eventually profit their drawn-out business. Furthermore, the huge influx of patients influenced by the pandemic has led to the shortage of presbyopia diagnosis and treatment. Also, with the growing infection rates, various countries have sealed their borders which has further led to the disruption of the supply chain of presbyopia treatment products. Hence, the import and export of contact lenses and surgical equipment have also stopped. This has created obstacles for the healthcare providers to provide effective diagnostic solutions and treatment to the rapidly increasing number of presbyopia patients.
