Key Market Insights

End-User Insights

The hospitals segment is expected to experience substantial growth as hospitals remain the primary diagnostic and treatment centers for eye movement disorders. Large tertiary care centers and academic medical institutions are equipped with specialized ophthalmology departments and advanced diagnostic tools.

In 2018, the hospitals segment was valued at USD 723.60 million.
Hospitals offer multidisciplinary care, including neurologists, ophthalmologists, and rehabilitation services.
Treatment options include medications, botulinum toxin injections, surgical procedures, and prism glasses.

Market Growth Drivers

1. Growing Geriatric Population

By 2030, one in six people worldwide will be aged 60 or older.
The aging population is expected to reach 1.4 billion by 2030 and 2.1 billion by 2050.
The 80+ age group is projected to triple to 426 million by 2050.
Older individuals are more susceptible to neurological disorders, such as internuclear ophthalmoplegia and inferior rectus muscle dysfunction.

2. Rising Neurological Disorders

Neurological diseases, including multiple sclerosis, stroke, brain tumors, migraines, and mitochondrial disorders, are increasing.
According to the WHO (2021), over 3 billion people globally suffer from neurological conditions.
As these disorders contribute to ophthalmoplegia, demand for medical devices and treatments continues to grow.

Market Challenges

1. Limited Treatment Options

Current therapies include corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and surgery, but they are not always effective.
Patients with rare forms of ophthalmoplegia or those unresponsive to standard treatments have limited options.
Unmet medical needs drive R&D efforts in gene therapy and stem cell treatments.
