Optical Coherence Tomography Devices Market Continues To Grow As ZEISS Medical Technology Launches CIRRUS 6000 1000khz, An Optical Coherence Tomography Device To Enhance Efficiency
Optical Coherence Tomography is a special type of tomography used in medical imaging. It is basically a device that uses light waves to create a very thin optical film that can then be used in the imaging process. It is normally used in the treatment of glaucoma and the treatment of diabetic optic nerve. This type of imaging has revolutionized medical imaging and provided much-improved image quality over what has been available in the past.
Continuous technological advancements
in the field of diagnostics are expected to drive growth of the global optical
coherence tomography devices market. Key companies in the field of healthcare,
medical device, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals are focused on continuous
research and development activities, in order to innovate new diagnostic
technologies. For instance, in January 2021, a team of researchers at Cardiff
University developed a test to identify severe short-sightedness. Furthermore,
in January 2021, Aladdin Healthcare Technologies SE, a provider of artificial
intelligence (AI)-based healthcare diagnostics, entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with Cosentia Ltd. to build a genomic data Blockchain
platform with zero-knowledge proof. Such technological advancements have led to
increasing demand for optical coherence tomography devices for the diagnosis of
patients with glaucoma. Hence, these factors are expected to drive growth of
the global optical coherence tomography devices market. Furthermore, increasing
demand for biomedical applications is expected to propel the global optical coherence tomography devices market growth in the near future.
However, concerns regarding
reimbursement policies are expected to hamper the global optical coherence
tomography devices market growth in the near future. Among regions, North
America is expected to witness significant growth in the global optical
coherence tomography devices market. This is owing to growing geriatric
population and rising R&D investments. According to the U.S. Census Bureau,
the population of people aged 65 years in 2010 was 40.3 million, which
increased to 54 million in 2019. Furthermore, Asia Pacific is expected to
register a robust growth rate in the global optical coherence tomography
devices market. This is owing to increasing prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles
and rising cases of stress across the region.
Major competitors operating in the
global poetical coherence tomography devices market are Agfa Healthcare,
OPTOPOL Technology S.A, Carl Zeiss AG, Optovue, Leica Microsystems, Thorlabs,
TOPCON CORPORATION, Terumo Medical Corporation, Heidelberg Engineering Inc.,
and Novacam Technologies.
For instance, in September 20919,
ZEISS Medical Technology launched CIRRUS 6000 1000kHz, an optical coherence
tomography device to enhance efficiency.
