Various ophthalmic surgeries performed require surgical microscopes.
The ENT surgery segment is anticipated to exhibit an exponential CAGR of 11.79%. Some of the major surgeries include laser eye surgery; glaucoma, corneal, & eye muscle surgeries; and oculoplastic surgeries. The complex anatomy of the eye and availability of a broad range of products, such as Leica M844 F40/F20 and Leica M822 F40/F20, for treating various ophthalmic conditions are certain positive factors for the segment growth.
神经外科、脊柱外科领域是反的cipated to witness growth at a CAGR of 11.01% and 10.48% respectively during the forecast period. The overall segment held the second-largest share. Neurosurgery and spine surgery include surgeries related to the nervous system, including all the parts that are in the peripheral nerves, spinal cord, brain, and extra-cranial cerebrovascular system.
As surgical microscopes play a critical role in neurosurgeries with regard to better illumination and three-dimensional views, manufacturers are focusing on product innovation to increase treatment efficiency. For instance, in 2017, at the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) Annual Scientific Meeting, Leica Microsystem launched augmented reality imaging technologies for surgical microscopes to supplement surgical microscope views for neurological procedures.
In terms of end-use, the hospital segment dominated the global market with a market share of 58.27% in 2022. The market has been bifurcated into sub-segments namely, hospital and physician clinics & other settings. The hospital's segment is the largest end-use segment of operational microscopes owing to the higher number of patient admissions & surgeries performed in hospitals and greater financing capabilities.
Furthermore, hospitals have funding to purchase the most advanced surgical equipment to improve and streamline the workflow in operating rooms. For instance, in July 2019, Mater Private Hospital Brisbane installed the city’s first 3D robotic surgical microscope in the neurosurgery operating theaters.
The physician clinics and other settings segment are expected to register the fastest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.39% from 2023 to 2030.
