AUTOMATIC PHOROPTERS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global automatic phoropters market size was forecasted to be worth USD 0.11 billion in 2024, expected to achieve USD 0.19 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033.

 Automatic phoropters are eye examination instruments that are highly advanced which are used for the purpose of determining a patient's refractive error. These instruments also prescribe corrective lenses. Digital technology and advanced algorithms are incorporated by these phoropters in order to perform a comprehensive eye exam within a very short period of time compared to traditional methods. They measurements provided by them are also highly accurate. These equipments have high demand in the market.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are two important tools that have helped in the growth of the market. Increasing prevalence of eye disorders and high spendings on healthcare facilities will amplify the market growth. These factors are collectively driving the automatic phoropters market growth.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Reduction in Optometry Services During Pandemic Decreased Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Industries and factories had a very tough time in dealing with problems such as fluctuations of raw material prices, disruption in logistics, and unavailability of skilled personnel to carry out the operations. 

Automatic phoropters market also experienced heavy losses due to factors such reduction in optometry services during the pandemic. As the healthcare facilities were not readily available, there was a complete reduction in the inflow of patients. All of these factors had an adverse impact on the market especially during the pandemic.

LATEST TRENDS

Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning into These Equipments to Increase Market Growth

During the past few decades there has been a considerable shift in the usage of implementation of both artificial intelligence and machine learning. Both of these technologies have been helpful in changing the dimensions of several industries. Similarly, they help in providing highly accurate readings and measurements when used in automatic phoropters.

Also, the need for human intervention will reduce when both these technologies are involved reducing as many mistakes as possible. Another noticeable trend that is having a positive impact on the market is the shift towards cloud-based data management systems that allow for better communication and sharing of patient data among optometrists, ophthalmologists, and other healthcare professionals. All of these are considered as the latest trends in the market.

These are considered to advanced and accurate eye examination technologies and hence more people are aware about them. There a lot of optometry and ophthalmology clinics and hospitals. This is helping in expanding the network of retail optical chains. All of the above-mentioned factors have played a crucial role in increasing automatic phoropters market share.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Cost Associated with Automatic Phoropters to Decrease Market Growth

Even though, these equipments are highly helpful in providing eye treatments, there are certain factors that can deteriorate the market growth. One such factor is the high cost that is associated with these equipments. As they are highly expensive, they cannot be afforded by small clinics and healthcare providers.

Lack of trained professionals to operate the machines and interpret the results can be yet another factor that will impede the market development. There are several other alternative diagnostic methods, which include non-mydriatic retinal cameras and optical coherence tomography (OCT). These factors can limit the market growth.
