MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

The growth in cataract surgeries in Europe is another factor increasing the growth of the European intraocular lenses market. Millions of cataract surgeries are performed in Europe every year, making it one of the most performed surgeries in the region. As cataract prevalence increases with aging populations in Europe, demand for IOLs increases. Increased diagnosis has also improved the market by easing a patient's decision for cataract intervention surgery earlier. The introduction of AI-generated RayOne Galaxy IOLs that provide smooth and full-range vision is an example of innovation meeting this need.

The increasing adoption of premium IOLs, including multifocal, accommodating and toric IOLs is expected to drive the growth of the market. These lenses correct presbyopia and astigmatism with better visual outcomes and reduce the need for eyeglasses. Advancements in ICT and new material technologies have made it possible to develop new types of more advanced IOLs at lower costs, including Bausch + Lomb's enVista Aspire monofocal and toric lenses with improved optical designs.

Possible factors for this popularity include higher reimbursement levels and lower pricing of IOLs in some European countries that improved affordability and patient accessibility to premium lenses, along with increased patient awareness. The IOL market is projected to continue growing until 2033, supported by the use of biocompatible materials, aspheric lens design that minimizes optical aberrations, and patient comfort.
