NEW BORN EYE IMAGING SYSTEMS MARKET OVERVIEW

The New Born Eye Imaging Systems Market Size is stood at USD 2.58 billion in 2025 and is set to expand to USD 2.74 billion in 2026, eventually reaching USD 5.02 billion by 2035, driven by a CAGR of 6.2%.

In the market study, our analysts have considered new born eye imaging systems market players such as Visunex Medical Systems, Eye Photo Systems, MergeHealthcare, D-EYE, Imagine Eyes, Natus Medical, Servicom Medical, New Eyes Medical and Others

The majority of vision issues that result in adolescent blindness can be corrected if discovered early thanks to thorough neonatal screening. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), ocular development, strabismus, visual acuity, colour vision, visual functions, and visual fields are a few of the prevalent eye problems. An eye imaging device is necessary for the detection and treatment of these conditions. Significant improvements in technology and design have been made over time. The systems involve the specialised application of technologies to assist newborns and babies with eye-related issues such ROP, amblyopia, strabismus, and other illnesses with basic care, monitoring, and treatment. In the hospital, this newborn eye imaging equipment found several different eye disorders.The rising number of paediatric retinal procedures, the increasing prevalence of eye illnesses of various etiologies, and technological developments in product development are all projected to raise product demand and hence drive the expansion of the newborn eye imaging systems market.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Caused Infectious Population led in the Shift of the Market Demand

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the new born eye imaging systems 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.

Due to rigid lockdown measures and supply chain interruptions, the COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial impact on the new born eye imaging systems0 market. Furthermore, procurement teams from hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and other medical aid organisations were primarily focused on treating the global pandemic's impacted population.

Furthermore, because babies are at a higher risk of infection than other age groups worldwide, healthcare institutions have to adjust treatment and diagnostic techniques. As a result, during COVID-19's exponential phase, most diagnostic and elective treatments were postponed or cancelled.

LATEST TRENDS

The Advancements Integrated with Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning to Uplift the Market Demand

Emerging imaging technologies, like as artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning, have the ability to screen huge populations, including infants, for retinal abnormalities in a resource-constrained context. Clinical investigations have shown that AI is successful at detecting the presence of several vision-threatening illnesses such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's.

• According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), 62% of neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in the U.S. have implemented digital eye imaging systems for early retinopathy screening.

• As per the National Eye Institute (NEI), over 48% of preterm infants in Europe now undergo routine retinal imaging within the first two weeks of birth using non-invasive systems.

Furthermore, due to specialised adaptors, cellphones are largely employed as fundus cameras. It is the most affordable method of imaging a retina. The smartphone-based retinal camera has shown results comparable to those of a desktop fundus camera in multiple investigations. The majority of smartphone-based retinal cameras have a field of vision ranging from 30 to 45 degrees. For example, the Volk iNview is an ophthalmic camera that captures wide-angle digital colour photographs of the retina using an Apple iPhone or iPod. (fundus). Volk iNview is a hybrid product that combines an Apple App Store mobile app and an indirect ophthalmoscopic lens attachment.

DRIVING FACTORS

The Rising Healthcare Awareness and Expenditure will Boost the Market Growth

Growing healthcare expenditure in many economies has a substantial impact on the market for new born eye imaging systems. The COVID-19 outbreak underlined the significance of the healthcare business and its interdependence with other economic sectors. Hospital expenditures grew exponentially in 2020, according to National Health Expenditure statistics, more than that of 2019. Furthermore, increased awareness and spending on newborn care and screening techniques to prevent a variety of illnesses is propelling the new born eye imaging systems market expansion. For example, the World Health Organization announced its first global guidelines to support women and newborns in the postnatal period on March 30, 2022.

• According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), premature births account for 10% of live births, driving adoption of eye imaging systems in 55% of hospitals.

• As reported by the World Health Organization (WHO), early detection of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in 40% of infants reduces severe vision impairment through timely interventions.

The Wireless Device to Grow at Pace and Strengthen the Market Structure 

Most wireless gadgets capture photos or videos of the interior of the eye. These gadgets have various advantages, such as the ability to be used anywhere and at any time. They are also useful for shooting difficult-to-reach places, such as the rear of the eye. Wireless devices provide various advantages over other types of devices, making them a crucial tool for operations such as visual acuity testing, glaucoma screening, and intraocular pressure measurement, among others.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Lack of Skilled and Experienced Staff to Setback the Market Growth

There is a need for a more clinical and competent personnel in newborn eye imaging systems, as well as qualified ophthalmic photographers. As a result, new technologies must be developed so that healthcare providers with less training can use them. Most imaging needs big tabletop systems, but there is also a desire for portable imaging devices such as hand-held OCT and intra-operative OCT.

• According to the European Society of Paediatric Ophthalmology, 36% of smaller clinics face difficulties in purchasing high-resolution neonatal imaging systems due to limited budgets.

• As per the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), 29% of healthcare facilities report staff training challenges in using specialized neonatal eye imaging devices

Furthermore, as imaging reimbursements have fallen, the amount of time retina professionals spend on each patient has decreased. Many clinicians now spend 5 to 10 minutes per appointment obtaining patient history, evaluating, analyzing, and interpreting imaging, responding to patient inquiries, informing, and treating the patient.
