Retinal Implant Market Segment Insights
Types Segment Analysis
On the basis of types, the market can be segmented into Argus II, retina implant alpha-IMS, implantable miniature telescope (IMT), and others. The Argus II segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecasted period. Argus II is an epiretinal implant and is used mainly to cure retinitis pigmentosa.
Retinitis pigmentosa is one of the most common diseases that occur in the retina. According to National Institute of Health, one in 4,000 to 4,500 people in Europe and the US are affected by this eye disease. This disease is hereditary and Argus II is helping to cure this disease. Many companies are focusing on the development of Argus II in which the requirement for additional surgery is eliminated.
Regional Analysis
In terms of regions, the market can be divided into Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East & Africa. North America is anticipated to account for a large market share during the forecast period. The high occurrence of progressive conditions and technological developments are major factors that are spurring the growth of the North America retinal implants market during the forecast period.
However, Asia pacific is also expected to hold a significant share in the market, on account of the growing population in the region and available resources. Moreover, the increasing healthcare budget by government state bodies and private sectors is anticipated to drive the growth of the market. On the other hand, Latin America is estimated to account for a major market share due to high expenditure on healthcare facilities.
