Regional Dynamics
On the basis of regions, OphthalmicUltrasound Imaging Systems Market is segmented into North America, LatinAmerica, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. North America isexpected to be dominant in the ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems marketover forecasted period. This is due to better healthcare infrastructure andhigh spending on healthcare. According to study published by American Academyof Ophthalmology in 2014, each year 2 million people undergoes cataract surgeryin the U.S., 50 million in projected to suffer from cataract in 2050. Mean ageto undergo cataract surgeries also falling from 70 to 50 and above. Oculartrauma is also largely observed due to firearms and related injuries. Accordingto data given by Glaucoma Research Foundation, around 3 million people in theU.S. have glaucoma, however, only half of those know they have it. Europe wouldbe another lucrative ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems market, due to highpresence geriatric population (25 million) in the region. Region such as AsiaPacific with highest cases of uncorrected refractive errors and glaucoma,worldwide would be potentially attractive ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systemsmarket in the near future.
Ophthalmic ultrasound imagingsystem is non-invasive visualization technique, which is more convenient andrelatively inexpensive as compared to other techniques such as opticalcoherence tomography (OCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and scanningScheimpflug. Ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems allow imaging of anatomy andpathology involving the anterior and posterior segment of the eye. This systemprovides diagnostic information in conditions such as glaucoma, trauma, cysts,and neoplasms. It also allows measurement of length of cornea and otherinformation before conducting procedures such as cataract surgery. There arevarious types of imaging systems such as A scan (for measurement of axiallength), B-scan (for anterior and posterior segment visualization), Pachymeter,and Ultrasound Bio microscope. Typical instrument use frequency of sound inbetween 10- 50 MHz, which gives clearer images with higher frequency and lowerwavelength. In the ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems, there is a transducerprobe placed in a medium, which generates waves of specific frequency and thesewaves strikes interior structures in the eye. This waves received by transducerand resulting voltages are then amplified and processed to form images.Depending upon the condition such as angle closure glaucoma, ciliary bodycysts, neoplasms, and angle trauma, different types of modalities are used.

Market Dynamics
Increasing prevalence of eyedisease such as uncorrected refractive errors, glaucoma, cataract, ciliary bodycysts, neoplasms, and angle trauma are major driving factors for growth of theophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems market. According to 2017 factsheet byWorld Health Organization (WHO), around 253 million people across the globesuffered from vision impairment and 36 million are blind and 217 million havemoderate to severe vision impairment. Chronic eye diseases, which includesuncorrected refractive errors, un-operated cataract, age related maculardegeneration, and glaucoma are main causes of vision loss. This is observed inlow- and middle-income countries. According to a study published in the JournalOphthalmology (2014), around 64.3 million people (aged 40-80 years) in 2013were affected with glaucoma, which would increase to 76.0 million in 2020 and111.8 million in 2040. This is expected to aid in growth of the ophthalmicultrasound imaging systems market. According to population Prospect Report in2017, the geriatric population (aged 60 years and above) is expected toincrease from 900 million in 2017 to 2.1 billion by 2050. Therefore, demand forsuch imaging products is expected to increase significantly.
Manufacturers are focusing ondeveloping new advanced imaging systems for application in intraocularmeasurement and anterior segment examination and this is expected to propelgrowth of the ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems market. For instance, QuantelMedical, in October 2017, launched next-generation compact touch ophthalmicultrasound system, which is a 3-in-1 system that combines A scan, B scan, andpachymeter thereby, allows multiple functions. Furthermore, factors such asoverall socioeconomic development (better disposable income) in middle incomecountries China and India, for instance according OECD report China hasincreased its healthcare spending from 1.3% in 2010 to more than 3.5% in 2016.Moreover, public health awareness programs by governments, increasedavailability of eye care services, and increased awareness of the generalpopulation related to eye health is expected to further aid in growth of theophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems market.
However, increasing advancementand adoption of other diagnostic tools is expected to be a factor restraininggrowth of the ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems market. Ophthalmic surgeonsand practitioner prefer optical biometry devices that utilize partial coherenceinterferometry. Unlike ophthalmic ultrasound imaging systems, which requiressignificant training for the examiner, in order to avoid errors in handling,optical biometry devices (IOL Master 500 and IOL Master 700 from Carl ZeissMeditech) are convenient and easy to handle, due to automation and it is provedto be more accurate.
