Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) Devices Market, by Surgery (Glaucoma in Conjunction with Cataract and Standalone Glaucoma), Target (Trabecular Meshwork, Suprachoroidal Space, and Others), Product (MIGS Stents, MIGS Shunts, and Other), and End User (Eye Hospitals, Ophthalmology Clinics, and Outpatient Surgical Centers): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2030

Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) Devices Market Overview:

The minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices market size generated $298.75 million in 2020 and is projected to reach $5,099.38 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 35.0% from 2021 to 2030.Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery devices offer an ab interno approach that spares medication, and conjunctival invasion for the treatment of patients suffering from glaucoma. MIGS devices such as stents, shunts, micro implants, and others are utilized for the treatment of patients with mild-to-moderate glaucoma. Rise in preference for MIGS devices over traditional glaucoma surgical devices has been witnessed over the years, as the former devices are safer, and effective compared to traditional devices. In addition, rise in focus of market players in the development of stents specifically for minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries that can reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) effectively supplements the market growth. Moreover, surge in prevalence of glaucoma, rise in geriatric population prone to varied ophthalmic diseases including glaucoma, and change in demographics globally fuel the growth of the minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices market.

Rise in geriatric population along with increase in prevalence of glaucoma around the world, surge in the demand for combined glaucoma and cataract surgeries and increase in focus of key players in the development of MIGS stents drives the market growth. Moreover, in 2019, AbbVie acquired Allergan plc for eye care products include xen, durysta, ozurdex, and refresh/optive. Regional players are eyeing for their spot in the minimal invasive glaucoma surgery device market with these successful advancements. Thus, increase in adoption of MIGS devices boosts the growth of the market. However, reimbursement barriers regarding MIGS devices and dearth of skilled professionals hamper the market growth. In addition, rapid transition from glaucoma medications to minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries are opportunistic for the minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices market growth.

COVID-19 impact on the MIGS devices market

Coronavirus (COVID-19) was discovered in December 2019 in Hubei province of Wuhan city in China. The disease is caused by a virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is transmitted from humans to humans. 

After its discovery in Wuhan, the disease rapidly spread to other parts of the globe. Moreover, this virus causes various symptoms in patients, which range from common symptoms to serious symptoms. For instance, common symptoms include fever, dry cough, and fatigue. However, serious symptoms include difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath, chest pain or pressure, and loss of speech or movement. Furthermore, the virus has high potential of lethality in geriatric population. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization made an assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as pandemic. In addition, there are only a few vaccines that received emergency approvals for COVID-19 treatment or prevention. Thus, social distancing is observed as the most important measure to stop the spread of this disease. Furthermore, to maintain social distancing, various countries across the world have adopted nationwide lockdowns.

The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented global public health challenge and is anticipated to have a negative impact on the minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices market. Glaucoma specialists prefer trabeculectomy procedure for glaucoma surgery. The most commonly performed MIGS procedure was the iStent inject followed by XEN and Preserflo, in minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) before the COVID-19 pandemic. Although trabeculectomy remains the most commonly performed established glaucoma surgery, it is being performed with reduced frequency during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the decrease in number of postoperative visits and procedures required.

Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (Migs) Devices Market Segmentation

The minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices market is segmented on the basis of surgery, target, product, end user, and region. By surgery, the market is bifurcated into glaucoma in conjunction with cataract and standalone glaucoma. By target, the market is divided into trabecular meshwork, suprachoroidal space, and others. By product, the market is classified into MIGS stents, MIGS shunts, and other. By end user, the market is categorized into eye hospitals, ophthalmology clinics, and ambulatory surgical centers. By region, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Segment review

By surgery type, the market is categorized into glaucoma in conjunction with cataract and standalone glaucoma. The standalone glaucoma segment dominated the market in 2020 and is anticipated to remain dominant during the forecast period. Key factors, such as increase in geriatric population is prone to glaucoma such as mild to moderate glaucoma conditions, primary angle-closure glaucoma, and secondary angle-closure glaucoma, which is set to drive the growth of the minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices market. 

By target, the market is divided into trabecular meshwork, suprachoroidal space, and others. The trabecular meshwork segment is anticipated to depict significant growth during the forecast period due to ineffective drug delivery witnessed in the glaucoma medication which has propelled the transition of glaucoma treatment from medication to minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices, thereby augmenting the market growth. 

By product, the market is divided into MIGS stents, MIGS shunts and other. The MIGS segment is anticipated to exhibit significant growth during the forecast period. Increase in demand for surgical devices in emerging countries and rise in geriatric population is expected to boost the growth of these segments during the forecast period.

By end user, the market is divided into eye hospitals, ophthalmology clinics, and outpatient surgical centers. The eye hospitals segment is anticipated to depict significant growth during the forecast period and is expected to exhibit a lucrative CAGR during the forecast period. Introduction of advanced surgical devices, shorter waiting time, cost efficiency, and rising awareness about MIGS surgery and treatment devices are expected to boost the segment growth during the forecast period.

By region, the market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. The Asia-Pacific is anticipated to depict significant growth during the forecast period. Increase in demand for surgical devices in emerging countries is expected to boost the growth of these segments during the forecast period.
