The Latin America, Middle East and Africa Ophthalmic Handheld Surgical Instruments Market would witness market growth of 6.4% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030).
The concept of smart instrumentation is gaining traction, with handheld instruments incorporating connectivity features. Smart instruments enable data exchange, intraoperative guidance, and seamless integration with electronic health records, enhancing the overall efficiency of ophthalmic surgeries. Instrument manufacturers are increasingly focusing on using biocompatible materials and ergonomic designs. Incorporating materials that reduce the risk of allergic reactions and the development of instruments with ergonomic handles contribute to surgeon comfort and overall procedural success.
Additionally, innovations in ophthalmic handheld instruments extend beyond surgical tools to drug delivery systems. Combining surgery with targeted drug administration allows more effective treatment of certain eye conditions, presenting a promising avenue for future developments. Ophthalmic handheld instruments with drug delivery capabilities allow targeted treatment of specific eye structures. This targeted approach minimizes systemic medication exposure, reducing potential side effects and optimizing the therapeutic impact on the affected areas.
Brazil is experiencing a demographic transition characterized by a rising proportion of elderly individuals. An increased prevalence of age-related eye conditions, including cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration, is associated with the aging process. As per the data published in 2022 by the Pan American Health Organization, 13% of the population of Brazil consists of individuals aged 60 years and later, of which more than 30 million are 65 years or older. By 2030, this age group will comprise 24 percent of the Brazilian population or approximately 50 million individuals. Therefore, the rising aging population in LAMEA will lead to increased demand for these instruments.
