The corneal transplantation market is projected to reach US$ 640.79 million by 2028 from US$ 420.71 million in 2021; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% during 2021 to 2028.

A cornea transplant (keratoplasty) is a surgical treatment that involves removing a portion of the cornea and replacing it with corneal tissue from a donor. The transparent, dome-shaped surface of the eye is known as the cornea. It is a large aspect of the eye's ability to see clearly because it is where light enters the eye. A cornea transplant can enhance the appearance of a damaged or diseased cornea while also restoring vision and reducing pain.

The growth of the corneal transplantation market is attributed to the increasing incidence of eye diseases, and the rising geriatric population. However, the risks associated with Corneal Transplantation and shortage of donor material hampers the market growth.

Market Insights


Surge in Geriatric Population

The geriatric patient population is growing rapidly worldwide due to a significant rise in the subset of patients older than 80. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, 54.1 million people were aged 65 and above in 2019 (up from 39.6 million in 2020). The population will reach 80.8 million by 2040 and 94.7 million by 2060. As the number of geriatric people increases, the demands of this group for healthcare services also continue to grow. The aging of an ocular surface and corneal tissues, and the consequent impairment of visual functions lead to severe eye diseases and a significant impact on vision. The conditions that affect these vital parts of the eye place a critical medical and socioeconomic burden on society. Thus, the increase in the population of elderlies is driving the overall growth of the corneal transplant market.
