The global eye examination equipment market size is estimated to reach USD 5.75 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing prevalence of eye-related disorders is anticipated to drive the demand for advanced ophthalmic treatment procedures over the forecast period.
Growing global geriatric population is another factor propelling the optometry/eye examination equipment market. According to U.S. Census Bureau published on June 2017, the total population aged 65 and older in the U.S. increased to 49.2 million in 2016, accounting for 15.2% of the total population, from 35 million in 2000, which represented only 12.0% of the total population. Mounting cases of age-related disorders including glaucoma, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are likely to stoke the growth of the market.
