Medical Fiber Optics Market Growth Opportunities, Analysis and Forecasts Report 2018-2026 With Top Key Players Corning, Inc., Optical Cable Corporation, AFL, Coherent, Inc., Sterlite Technologies Limited, Schott AG, Leoni AG

Fiber optics is a fairly old technology and has been in use in various applications including medical field. Fiber optics technology uses fibers to transmit radiation from one place to another. Optical fibers, which are thin strands made from materials such as glass or plastic are used for the transmission of radiation for observation as well as illumination of objects. Physical parameters such as pressure, temperature, blood flow, and chemical parameters such as bile, pH, and oxygen of various materials can be tested using biomedical sensors with optical fibers. Medical endoscopic applications are served by employing optical fibers in the endoscopy systems.

Optical fiber technology is being widely used in imaging, illumination, laser delivery systems, and biosensors. In case of observation and illumination of organs and cells, the advantages offered by optical biomedical sensors such as small size, low weight, and biocompatibility with MRI and CT are helpful. Optical fiber sensors consists of a light source, photo detector, optical fiber, and external transducer. Moreover, lasers, surgical lights, and dental lights have specialized applications, as it helps physicians in various respective areas.

Medical Fiber Optics Market Drivers

Prevalence of various chronic diseases is on the rise along with the need of surgical intervention in the medical management of the disease. Advanced medical fiber optic applications could be useful in the surgical treatments such as lasers. Preference towards minimally invasive surgeries is on the rise due to advantages offered by the same over conventional open surgical approach. Minimally invasive surgeries offer significant reduction in postoperative pain, decreased recovery time, and reduced hospital stays. Applications such as minimally invasive robotic surgery, optical fiber lasers, and detection of diseases through sensors could be potential sources of revenue stream in medical fiber optics market.

More importantly, minimally invasive robotic surgeries is a growing trend in the medical field and as these systems utilize advanced endoscopes, laser guiding systems, and optical visualization systems, the need for optical fiber based products is expected to increase over the forecast period. This, in turn will boost growth of the global medical fiber optics market. Furthermore, rising prevalence of diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease is expected to boost growth of the market over the forecast period.

According to the American Cancer Society, in 2017, cancer was the second most common cause of death in the U.S., which accounts for nearly 1 out of every 4 deaths. Biomedical sensors is another such area, which has high applications in drug discovery, disease diagnosis, and pathology. Glucometers is a prime example of biosensor technology, which is utilized for the management of glucose content in the blood. Wearable technology is a booming field in biosensors, which is further expected to foster the growth of medical fiber optics market. Medical imaging has become a primary diagnostic tool in many medical emergencies, which utilize optical fiber technologies and continuous demand for these products is expected to support growth of the medical fiber optics market.
