Corneal Implants Market Analysis

The corneal implants market is segmented by transplant type into anterior lamellar keratoplasty, penetrating keratoplasty, and endothelial keratoplasty, out of which, the endothelial keratoplasty segment is anticipated to hold the largest share of the market over the forecast period. For instance, in the United States, over 30,000 endothelial keratoplasties were performed in 2021. It is a common method for the treatment of Fuchs’ dystrophy, which is prevalent among the geriatric population. Moreover, this method helps in faster and better visual restoration with decreased risk of infection and accidents to the eye surface, which is also a factor expected to propel the growth of the segment.

On the basis of tissue type, the market is segmented into artificial cornea and human donor cornea, between which artificial cornea segment is estimated to witness fastest growth during the forecast period owing to the shortage of donor tissue. In addition to that, increasing bio-engineered artificial corneas and innovative procedures for artificial corneal crafting are further expected to drive the growth of the segment.
