Laser Eyeshield Market Size, Share, Industry, Forecast and Outlook (2024-2031)

Report Overview

Global Laser Eyeshield Market reached US$ 1,700 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 4,200 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 15.6% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

Laser eye shields are specialized protective equipment used during laser eye surgeries to protect the patient's eyes from potential laser beam damage. To limit the possibility of unintentionally harming nearby tissues, these shields are made to either block or absorb particular laser light wavelengths, exposing just the targeted area of the eye to the laser. 

These eye shields can be used during ophthalmic surgeries and cosmetic laser surgeries among others. They prevent the absorption of harmful laser lights that damages the cornea. These eye shields have a wide range of applications.

Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

Rising number of cosmetic laser treatments 

Rising number of cosmetic laser treatments is expected to drive the market growth. The increaing laser treatments increases the use of laser eye shields for both patient and peronnel protection. These eye shields resists the entry of harmful radiation that is being emitted during the treatment. 

There is a rapid increase in the number of cosmetic surgeries since few years, so there is an increasing need and demand for the eye shields.  For instance, American Society of Plastic Surgeons in 2022, it is stated that around 3 million skin treatments (combination laser) has been performed in 2022.  

Laser cosmetic procedures are gaining momentum since they are less invasive, safe, and provide quick and lasting results with shorter recovery times and fewer complications. Thus, the above factors are expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period. 

Availability of alternatives  

When compared to laser eye shields, alternatives such as adhesive eye shields or goggles may be less costly, especially if they are disposable and don't require sterilization. This cost advantage could influence purchasing decisions, particularly in healthcare settings where there are significant financial limitations..

Market Segment Analysis

The global laser eyeshield market is segmented based on type, material type, end-user, and region.

Autoclavable segment is expected to dominate the market share

The autoclavable eye shields segment holds a major position in the market share. Autoclavable shields can be sterilized and reused multiple times, however, they may initially cost more than single-use shields. Long-term cost reductions can be significant due to its reusability, especially in clinics that treat a lot of patients. Autoclavable shields are made to withstand several sterilization cycles without losing their protective qualities or their structural integrity. Throughout laser operations, this extended lifespan guarantees steady performance and dependable patient safety.

The ability to easily sterilize and reuse autoclavable shields following facility protocols and patient demands is highly valued by healthcare providers. This ensures the availability of safety equipment when needed and reduces reliance on other sources. Healthcare professionals accept autoclavable alternatives from numerous well-established manufacturers in the laser eye shield industry since they have undergone extensive testing. Thus, the above factors are expected to drive the segment growth.

Market Geographical Share

North America is expected to hold a significant position in the laser eyeshield market share

North America is holding a dominant position in the market share. This is due to the presence of large number of manufacturers in the region and the increasing technological advancements in the development. The increasing innovation in the shape, size, and model also acts as a driving factor for the region's market share. 

 The rising number of LASIK surgeries in the region also increases the demand for laser eye shields. More than 20 million LASIK procedures have been performed in the United States, with a 95 percent satisfaction and over 90 percent success rate. This increase in the LASIK surgery rates increases the use of laser eye shields for the other eye for which the laser radiation has to be resisted. Thus, the above factors are expected to hold the region in the dominant position.
