The Business Research Company’s Ophthalmic Viscoelastic Devices Market Trends Support A 5.1% CAGR Outlook Through The Forecast Period
LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, August 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — “The ophthalmic viscoelastic devices market is an important segment within eye care, supporting various surgical procedures by enhancing safety and effectiveness. With the rising number of eye surgeries worldwide and continuous innovations in materials and techniques, this market is set to experience steady growth in the coming years. Below is an overview of the current market size, key growth factors, regional dynamics, and future trends shaping the ophthalmic viscoelastic devices industry.
Steady Expansion of the Ophthalmic Viscoelastic Devices Market Size
The market for ophthalmic viscoelastic devices has shown consistent growth recently. It is projected to increase from $2.72 billion in 2025 to $2.85 billion in 2026, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. This upward trend during the historical period is largely driven by the rising incidence of cataract surgeries, an aging global population, greater use of intraocular surgical techniques, expansion of ophthalmology clinics, and improved accessibility to eye care services.

Anticipated Growth Trajectory of the Ophthalmic Viscoelastic Devices Market Through 2030
Looking ahead, the market is expected to experience robust growth, reaching $3.47 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 5.1%. This forecasted expansion is supported by increasing demand for superior surgical outcomes, heightened focus on reducing complications, the development of advanced ophthalmic surgery centers, greater investments in eye care infrastructure, and adoption of innovative viscoelastic materials. Key trends predicted for this period include the growing use of advanced viscoelastic formulations, rising preference for dual-property devices, enhanced tissue protection, a shift towards minimally invasive eye surgeries, and improvements in shelf stability and biocompatibility.
Understanding Ophthalmic Viscoelastic Devices and Their Role in Eye Surgery
Ophthalmic viscoelastic devices (OVDs) are gel-like substances employed during certain eye surgeries to create and maintain space inside the eye, protect sensitive intraocular tissues, and assist with surgical maneuvers. These devices are typically transparent, viscous, and elastic, designed to replicate the characteristics of the eye’s natural fluids, thereby enabling safer and more precise surgical interventions.

Increasing Ophthalmic Surgical Procedures as a Growth Driver
The rising volume of ophthalmic surgeries is a significant factor propelling the growth of the ophthalmic viscoelastic devices market. Eye surgeries, including cataract removal, corneal transplants, and retinal detachment repairs, rely on OVDs to maintain intraocular space, safeguard fragile tissues, and facilitate clear visibility during operations. These properties contribute to better surgical outcomes and lower the risk of complications such as tissue trauma and intraoperative issues.
Growing Demand Driven by Cataract Surgery Trends
For example, in May 2023, the National Health Service England reported that cataract surgeries represent 6% of all surgical procedures performed annually in the UK, with over 450,000 operations conducted each year. Projections estimate a 25% increase in cataract surgeries by 2027 and a substantial 50% rise by 2035. This surge in surgical volume is directly boosting the demand for ophthalmic viscoelastic devices.
Regional Market Leadership and Emerging Growth Areas
In terms of regional performance, North America held the largest share of the ophthalmic viscoelastic devices market in 2025. Meanwhile, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period.
