The global amblyopia therapeutic apparatus market size was USD 66.8 Billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 92.6 Billion by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 3.7% during 2024–2032. The market growth is attributed to the increasing prevalence of amblyopia and expanding applications of amblyopia therapeutic apparatus across the globe.
Increasing awareness about the importance of early intervention in vision disorders is resulting in the growing demand for amblyopia therapeutic apparatus, which further boosts the market. These devices are increasingly utilized in vision recovery centers, eye hospitals, and telemedicine platforms, catering to a diverse consumer base. Furthermore, a growing number of people experiencing vision impairments contributes to propelling the market during the forecast period.
According to the report published by WHO on August 10, 2023, around 2.2 billion individuals are suffering from distance vision impairment globally.
The use of artificial intelligence is likely to boost the amblyopia therapeutic apparatus market. AI enables healthcare providers to make accurate and timely diagnoses of amblyopia leading to earlier intervention and improved treatment outcomes. Moreover, AI-powered therapeutic apparatus personalizes treatment plans based on individual patient characteristics for effective management of amblyopia management.
Increasing prevalence of amblyopia is anticipated to drive the market during the forecast period. Excessive screen time and changing lifestyles create a need for effective treatment apparatus to utilize during eye disorder treatments. For instance, a report published by the National Eye Institute on September 22, 2022, states that amblyopia is a vision disorder that typically begins in childhood and affects up to 3 out of every 100 children globally. Moreover, government initiatives aimed at promoting early diagnosis and intervention are expected to further fuel the demand for amblyopia therapeutic apparatus.
High cost associated with amblyopia therapeutic apparatus is expected to hinder the market in the coming years. Their high prices often deter patients from seeking timely intervention, which further decreases their utilization across healthcare settings. Additionally, regulatory challenges and stringent approval processes for the development and commercialization of medical devices for amblyopia treatment are likely to hamper the market during the forecast period.
Rising investment in research and development (R&D) activities is expected to create immense opportunities for the players competing in the market during the forecast period. Manufacturers are aiming to allocate substantial resources toward the development of innovative apparatus technologies and modalities for amblyopia. Furthermore, the integration of telehealth and remote monitoring in these devices to treat remotely is boosting the market.
