Cataract Surgery Devices Market to Reach USD 10.97 Billion by 2030, Says Mordor Intelligence

Mordor Intelligence has published a new report on the Cataract Surgery Devices Market offering a comprehensive analysis of trends, growth drivers, and future projections.
Introduction

According to a 2025 report on Cataract Surgery Devices Market by Mordor Intelligence, the global market is expected to grow from USD 8.90 billion in 2025 to USD 10.97 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.27% during the forecast period. The cataract surgery devices market [https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/cataract-surgery-devices-market?utm_source=abnewswire] play a critical role in addressing one of the leading causes of visual impairment worldwide. Cataract surgery is a common and effective procedure, primarily performed on aging populations, to restore vision by removing the clouded natural lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).

Over the years, the demand for cataract surgery has grown steadily, driven by rising life expectancy, increasing patient awareness, and improvements in surgical outcomes. As a result, the market for cataract surgery devices which includes equipment such as phacoemulsification machines, femtosecond lasers, ophthalmic viscoelastic devices (OVDs), and various types of IOLs has witnessed significant expansion.

Key Market Trends

*
Surge in premium intraocular lenses (IOLs) Intraocular lenses are the largest product segment, making up around 41.6% of market revenues in 2024. Premium lens types such as multifocal, toric, aspheric, and light-adjustable IOLs are steadily gaining traction as patients and surgeons prioritize enhanced postoperative vision correction and reduced dependency on glasses

*
Rapid growth in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery Femtosecond laser systems is projected to register a robust X.XX% CAGR through 2030, and femtosecond-laser-assisted surgery is expected to grow at around 5.98% CAGR. These systems provide higher precision in capsulotomy and lens fragmentation, though they are priced at a premium.

*
Steady innovations in phacoemulsification systems Phaco-based surgery held approximately XX.X% revenue share in 2024 Enhanced phaco devices now offer improved fluidics control, energy modulation, and ergonomic designs, aiming for shorter surgical times and smoother procedures.

*
Rise of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) Hospitals currently account for about 42.7% of the market, but ASCs are expected to grow faster with a X.XX% CAGR from 2025 to 2030. These centers are favored for their efficiency, lower per-care costs, and ability to handle higher patient throughput.

*
Growing interest in AI and digital integration Though not deeply detailed in Mordor's figures, the report highlights increasing integration of AI-assisted surgical planning tools and digital guidance systems, particularly alongside femtosecond platforms. These technologies help surgeons optimize surgical flow and patient outcomes.

Market Segmentation

By Product Type

*
Intraocular Lenses (IOLs) This is the largest segment, accounting for about XX.XX% of market revenue in 2024. It includes monofocal, multifocal, toric, and aspheric lenses used to replace the eye's natural lens post-surgery.

*
Femtosecond Laser Systems These systems facilitate laser-assisted cataract operations. Though still higher cost, they're projected to grow at a 6.43% CAGR through 2030 due to their precision benefits.

*
Phacoemulsification Equipment The standard ultrasonic devices for breaking up the cataract. These systems generate strong demand, especially in middle- and high-income regions due to volume requirements.

*
Ophthalmic Viscoelastic Devices (OVDs) These gel-like substances are used during surgery to maintain eye structure and protect tissues. They form a significant part of consumables, supporting both phaco and laser-assisted workflows.

By Surgery Technique

*
Phaco-Based Standard Surgery The dominant surgical method, capturing roughly XX.XX% of market revenue in 2024. Practitioners and facilities rely on proven ultrasonic protocols.

*
Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS) A fast-growing sub-segment with a CAGR of around 5.98% to 2030, driven by its automated capsulotomy and lens fragmentation advantages.

By End User

*
Hospitals The leading buyers of cataract surgery devices, representing XX.XX% of the market in 2024. They invest in full-scale OR setups with advanced equipment

*
Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) These outpatient centers are expanding rapidly, with projected growth of about 5.87% CAGR between 2025-2030. Their appeal lies in reduced cost and faster patient throughput.

*
Ophthalmology Clinics This segment also invests in modern surgical systems, especially in urban settings of developing countries where patients increasingly expect high-standard vision care.

By Geography

*
North America The largest regional market, holding roughly XX.XX% of global revenue in 2024

*
Asia-Pacific The fastest-growing region, with an anticipated CAGR of around X.XX% through 2030

*
Europe, Middle East & Africa, South America These areas together form the remainder of the market. Growth varies, with Europe under tighter regulation, the Middle East investing in eye-care centers, and Latin America impacted by economic fluctuations

Major Players

*
Alcon Inc. Holds a leading position, controlling approximately 80% of cataract equipment installations and about 40% of premium intraocular lens (IOL) sales globally In 2025, Alcon completed its acquisition of Lensar, gaining the ALLY dual-pulsed laser platform.

*
Johnson & Johnson Vision (formerly Abbott Medical Optics) A key player with a strong IOL portfolio, its TECNIS lens line, including the Odyssey model, serves as a direct competitor to Alcon's AcrySof IQ Vivity. The company's scope spans surgical platforms, viscoelastics, and phacoemulsification systems.

*
Carl Zeiss Meditec AG Well-known for its surgical precision tools, Zeiss leverages its VISUMAX refractive lasers alongside microscopes and digital connectivity solutions. Their systems aid in tracking outcomes for both cataract and corneal procedures

*
Bausch + Lomb (Bausch Health) A significant force in both IOLs and ophthalmic Visco surgical devices. Its presence in multiple product lines ensures steady revenue across global markets.

*
Nidek Co., Ltd. Among the top five manufacturers in the cataract space, Nidek has a notable footprint in surgical devices and diagnostics

Conclusion

The cataract surgery devices market is set for sustained growth, supported by the rising prevalence of age-related vision disorders, especially among aging populations worldwide. As demand for improved visual outcomes and quicker recovery increases, the adoption of advanced surgical tools such as femtosecond laser systems and premium intraocular lenses is expected to rise steadily.
