Increasing geriatric population
significantly supports the growth of tonometers market
Global tonometers
market is driven by various factors, the foremost of which is increasing
geriatric population. It is mostly detected among people aged 60 years and
above. Moreover, chronic eye disorders also assist in driving the demand for
tonometers. Glaucoma is also found as an inherited disorder; hence people with
family history of glaucoma also fall under the target population of the global
tonometers market. However, there are some limitations pertaining to
tonometers. For instance, Goldmann applanation tonometers might lead to corneal
abrasion or risk of spreading infection. Non-contact tonometers also include
restraining factors such as poor accuracy level in the measurement of the
ocular pressure. Hence, the aforementioned factors are expected to restrain the
global tonometers market to some extent.
Tonometers: An efficient device
for early detection of a serious eye disorder, glaucoma
Tonometers are devices assist in
helping the eyecare professionals to determine the intraocular pressure (IOP)
inside the eye. IOP is a fluid pressure in the eye. Tonometry is a diagnostic
test which aids in examining whether the patient is at risk of glaucoma. This
is an eye disorder wherein excess fluid pressure inside the eye tends to damage
the patient’s optic nerve and might lead to permanent vision loss, if the
damage retains. Tonometers help to detect this disorder, which usually does not
show symptoms until at a later stage. The common target population for such
kind of disease is the geriatric population. Moreover, diabetic patients are
also at high risk of glaucoma. Hence, tonometers tend to be increasingly
advantageous for such target population and they contribute towards the growth
of the global tonometers market.

Applanation and indentation
tonometers are the most commercially available tonometers
Global tonometers market is
segmented on the basis of product type, end user and region. Product type is classified
under applanation tonometers, indentation tonometers, rebound tonometers,
pascal dynamic contour tonometers and others. Further, applanation tonometers
are segmented into Goldmann applanation tonometers, Perkins tonometers,
non-contact tonometers, ocular response analyzer and others. Applanation
tonometers help in determining ocular pressure by applying a force which
flattens the disk to the cornea. These tonometers are the most widely accepted
by the eyecare professionals primarily due to the fact that such diagnostic
testing device allows for accurate measurement. On the other hand, indentation
tonometers are used to examine through a force which will indent or sink into
the cornea of the soft eye as compared to a harder eye. Rebound tonometers are
also emerging owing to its numerous advantages such as it does not require
anesthetizing the eye. It is a contact rebound tonometer, which uses an
extremely light probe.
On the basis of end user,
tonometers are segmented into hospitals, clinics and others. Hospital segment
is considered as the largest market owing to its wide usage in such facilities
and hence, contribute towards significant revenue generation.
Technological advancements are
propelling market growth in North America
Geographically, tonometers market
is classified under North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and
Middle East and Africa. North America is accounted for a significant share for
the global tonometers market. This is primarily due to the fact that the
healthcare expenditure in country like the U.S. is constantly growing, which in
turn is expected to help the market for tonometers to grow. Moreover,
technological advancements are also on a peak in these countries, which is
expanding the product portfolio of tonometers. On the other hand, Asia Pacific
is anticipated to gain lucrative growth over the forecast period due to
increasing prevalence of diabetes in country like India. For instance, in 2015,
69.1 million people were suffering from diabetes in India according to International
Diabetes Federation.

Some of the major players of the
global tonometers market include Canon Inc., Icare Finland Oy (Icare Finland is
a part of Revenio Group Corporation), Topcon Corporation, HAAG-STREIT GROUP,
NIDEK CO., LTD. and Reichert Technologies among others. Inorganic growth
strategies are helping leading companies to obtain a competitive edge. Focus on
enhancing product portfolio and inorganic growth approaches are some of the key
strategic initiatives undertaken by these companies. In September, 2016, Icare
launched Icare ic100 in order to expand its product portfolio.
Key Developments
Increasing adoption of tonometers
for novel applications is expected to boost the market growth. For instance, in
August 2019, NASA’s Expedition 60 crew conducted various biomedical research
and life science activities aboard the International Space Station, including
eye pressure measurements using a tonometer.
Major institutes are focused on
research in tonometry and tonometers. For instance, in October 2018,
researchers from Stanford University School of Medicine found that rebound
tonometry is an efficient technology for checking intraocular pressure in
children.
Similarly, in October 2018,
researchers from Maltepe University, Turkey statistically compared intraocular
pressure values measured using various tonometers and found that Goldmann
applanation tonometry without fluorescein was suitable for use in routine
clinic practice.
