The global market for medical fiber optics expanded at 4.2% CAGR from 2017-2021.
Growing popularity of minimally-invasive surgeries over conventional open surgeries happens to be one of the major factors driving market growth. Due to advantages such as less bleeding, shorter hospital stay, low cost, and minimal risks, this technique is becoming more common in hospitals and clinics around the world.
The number of minimally-invasive surgeries has increased significantly since they were first implemented at the Cleveland Clinic in the United States in 1996.
In terms of regional growth, Persistence Market Research identifies North America, followed by Europe, as leading markets for medical fiber optics. Expansion in South Asia & Pacific is supported by growth in the number of entry-level companies manufacturing medical fiber optics.
Overall, the global medical fiber optics market is predicted to expand at a CAGR of 6.7% through 2032.
“Increasing Utilization of Fiber Optics in Medical Devices”
Fiber optics are utilized in endoscopes and support the medical imaging and illumination components within these devices. Another application of fiber optics in medical devices is in biomedical sensors. Biomedical sensors can be utilized externally and internally and can measure a broad variety of indicators within the human body, such as blood temperature, body temperature, muscle displacement, heart rate, etc.
Because of the non-toxic nature, small size, and flexibility of fiber optics, they are extremely beneficial for several procedures and a crucial tool in medicine. Their usage has led to more secure surgeries, effective procedures, faster recovery times, and detailed examinations.
These benefits of medical fiber optics are anticipated to drive the market substantially over the coming years.
“High Cost & Lower Acceptance of Medical Fiber Optics”
The low acceptance rate of medical fiber optics in developing nations because of the high cost is anticipated to restrain the development of the market.
Owing to this, many hospitals and medical professionals still use conventional methods to perform surgical procedures. Medical fiber optics are costly due to the advanced technology used in them, which also requires high levels of maintenance, which is very expensive.
Thus, the high cost of medical fiber optic devices, together with their high maintenance cost, is a major issue restraining the growth of the market to some extent.
How are Sales of Medical Fiber Optics Shaping Up in the U.S.?
The North American region is expected to dominate the global fiber optics market during the forecast period. According to this study, the U.S. is estimated to emerge as a most attractive market with a significant share of around 74.3% by the end of 2022.
The U.S. medical fiber optics market is expected to increase due to the growing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and various other conditions. Also, an increase in the number of endoscopic operations for the timely diagnosis of cancer and other chronic illnesses is a crucial factor driving the growth of the market in the U.S.
Moreover, the presence of key players in the country who are manufacturing medical fiber optic products is further responsible for driving high market growth.
Another factor boosting the growth of the market is the increase in the utilization of laser technology in cosmetology and dentistry and continuous research of biomedical sensors.
Why is the U.K. Emerging as a Prominent Market for Medical Fiber Optics?
The U.K. is anticipated to be one of the prominent markets for medical fiber optics in the European region and its market size is expected to expand 2.3X during 2022-2032. The U.K. medical fiber optics market is expected to surge at a robust CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period.
In Europe, the medical fiber optics market is expanding rapidly due to growing awareness about minimally-invasive surgeries such as laparoscopic surgeries and robotic surgeries, and rising demand for the usage of technologically-developed products in the medical sector.
Thus, increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and the growing need for surgeries is contributing to the growth of the medical fiber optics market in the region, especially in the U.K.
Why are Manufacturers of Medical Fiber Optics Eyeing China?
The China medical fiber optics market is set to register the highest growth in the medical fiber optics industry in East Asia, and its market size is expected to expand 2.3X, creating an absolute $ opportunity of US$ 163.5 Mn between 2022 & 2032.
Thus, rising cases of cardiovascular diseases are majorly contributing to the demand growth for medical fiber optics in the country.
Why is Demand for Pure Silica Fiber Type Rising Rapidly?
By fiber type segment, pure silica fiber will dominate the market and is set to exhibit the highest CAGR of 7.1% during 2022-2032. The pure silica fiber segment is further bifurcated into UV- silica, near infrared (NIR) silica, metal- coated silica, and plastic clad silica.
Growth of the pure silica fiber type segment can be attributed to its properties such as flexibility and high mechanical strength, which make it perfect for several medical applications.
Why is Multi-Mode Fiber Dominating the Medical Fiber Optics Landscape?
Based on mode, the multi-mode fiber will be a dominating segment and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2022 to 2032.
Over the forecast period, the multi-mode fiber segment is anticipated to maintain its dominant position. Increasing use of multi-mode optical fibers in lighting systems and surgical lighting applications is responsible for the expansion of the segment.
The production of multimode optical fibers is simpler and more affordable. These optical fibers are frequently used to carry light from the laser source to the site when a signal or light wave needs to be transferred across a shorter distance. Multimode optical fibers are commonly employed in developing countries because of their cost-effective nature.
Why is Demand for Reusable Surgical Laser Fibers Rising?
Among the disposable surgical laser fibers and reusable surgical laser fibers, the reusable surgical laser fibers segment is expected to emerge as the most attractive in the market and expand at a CAGR of 7.1% through 2032.
Growth of the segment can be attributed to the long-term cost advantages that this type provides. Even though initially it is more expensive, there are significant savings later on that eventually lower its overall pricing.
The global medical fiber optics market is fragmented with new vendors offering advanced products and solutions. Companies supplying medical fiber optics are focused on research and development and are adding new products to their product portfolios.
