The Growing Demand For Minimally Invasive Surgeries To Open New Avenues For Medical Fiber Optics Market.
The medical fiber optics market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1465.48 Mn or Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.0% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Medical fiber optics is optical fibers that transmits light between the light source and the tissue. They are used in various medical applications such as endoscopy, dermatology, ophthalmology, and dental surgeries. Medical fiber optics offers advantages such as miniaturization of devices, real-time hd imaging, and precision while performing surgeries. They transmit high intensity light with minimal heat generation and resist breakage.
Market Dynamics:
Growing preference for minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) acts as a driver for the medical fiber optics market. Minimally invasive surgeries have benefits like less pain, smaller incisions, lower risk of complications, and shorter hospital stay. They require specialized instruments and cameras to perform procedures internally which have propelled the demand for medical fiber optics. Furthermore, the rising geriatric population is also fueling the market growth. Older patients are more prone to chronic diseases and disorders which increases the demand for medical procedures utilizing fiber optics. However, high costs associated with medical fiber optics devices hampers the market growth.
Segment Analysis
The global medical fiber optics market is segmented based on the type which includes single mode optical fiber and multimode optical fiber. Among these, the multimode optical fiber segment is dominating the market and is expected to witness high growth during the forecast period. Multimode optical fibers allow multiple light rays to propagate through the core concurrently and are used in medical applications that require faster transmission of a large amount of data over short distances as compared to single mode optical fibers.
PEST Analysis
Political: Government regulations regarding data privacy and usage of medical devices will impact the growth of the market. Additionally, favorable policies supporting development of medical infrastructure will boost adoption of fiber optics.
Economic: Rising healthcare expenditure driven by increasing disposable income and growing aging population will fuel demand for advanced medical fiber optics in developed regions.
Social: Growing preference for minimally invasive procedures due to benefits such as lesser scarring, lower risk of complications and shorter recovery time will propel uptake of medical fiber optics.
Technological: Innovation in fiber optics technology is leading to development of compact devices with enhanced capabilities. Integration of fiber optics with advanced imaging and surgical technologies will further augment the market.
