SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The global ophthalmic sutures market size is expected to reach USD 532.8 million by 2026, expanding at a CAGR of 6.4% over the forecast period, 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.
Key suggestions from the report:
- Based on type, the synthetic sutures segment dominated the market in 2018, which can be primarily attributed to low rate of inflammatory reactions around wound site and higher durability
- By way of absorption capacity, non-absorbable sutures led the market owing to benefits such as reduced chances of postoperative surgical infection and its ability to be removed after few days of surgery
- On the basis of application, the cataract surgery segment was valued at USD 130.8 million in 2018 owing to high prevalence rate and large number of surgical procedures
- Based on end use, ambulatory surgical centers held the largest share of more than 40.0% in 2018, fueled by large number of single-day procedures, which do not require hospital stay
- North America held the dominant share owing to favorable reimbursement policies, local presence of key players, and supportive government initiatives
