The growing prevalence of myopia is one of the major global autorefractor keratometer device market trends. The International Myopia Foundation estimates that approximately 50% of the global population will be affected by myopia by 2050, boosting the demand for the market as autorefractor keratometer devices aid in tracking changes in corneal curvature and refraction over time, aiding ophthalmologists in monitoring the progression of myopia and making changes in the treatment plan as the disease progresses. Additionally, they are used during an eye examination for providing object measurements of the refractive error and prescription for contact lenses and glasses, making it an essential equipment for professionals providing eyecare.
Moreover, the growing awareness among the general population about the importance of regular eye checkups for maintaining healthy eyes and avoid vision problems in the long-term is further boosting the demand for autorefractor keratometer devices as it is used in eye testing as it is based in the principle of variable image size and constant image size. Thus, supporting the global autorefractor keratometer device market expansion. Additionally, the increase in collaborations between different market players to expand their customer base and support the development of technologically advanced devices through collaborative research and development activities is expected to provide lucrative growth opportunities to the market over the forecast period.
Increase in Frequency of Eye Tests Supports Growth of the Market
Due to the growing prevalence of vision problems and complete and partial loss of sight, the requirement for various ophthalmological instruments and devices, including autorefractor keratometer devices is increasing. According to the estimates of nidirect government services, more than 50% of sight loss is preventable, regular testing of eyes can aid in limiting or preventing the damage caused because of various eye conditions. Thus, due to the increasing prevalence of preventable eye conditions, the requirement for regular eye checkups is increasing, which in turn is boosting the demand for different medical eye care devices such as autorefractor keratometer devices. Furthermore, the augmenting awareness among the general population about regular eye checkups and importance of follow-ups with ophthalmologists and other eye care professionals for management and tracking of progression of various diseases and disorders is another major factor supporting the growth of the market.
Increasing Mergers and Acquisitions Boost Global Autorefractor Keratometer Device Market Size
According to India Brand Equity Foundation, the eye care sector in India will experience a boost in mergers and acquisition activities. Such activities are expected to promote collaborations and support the development of technologically advanced ophthalmological devices by promoting research and development activities. The availability of funding through private equity firms further supports acquisitions. For instance, the Jodhpur-based ASG Eye Hospitals in India secured funding of USD 181.1 million (INR 1500 crores) in July 2022 from General Atlantic and Kedaara Partners. The increased availability of such funding will aid the expansion of the eye care sector in various regions across the globe and provide lucrative growth opportunities to the market.
