Pupillometer Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Mobility (Table-top and Hand-held), By Type (Video and Digital), By End-user (Hospitals, Eye Clinics, and Others), By Indication (Ophthalmology, Neurology, Oncology, and Others), and Region

Pupillometer Market size was valued at US$ 487.5 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4% from 2024 to 2030. The pupillometer market primarily consists of devices used to measure the diameter of the pupil. These devices are crucial in various fields such as ophthalmology, neurology, psychology, and pharmacology. The market includes both handheld and desktop models, each offering different features and capabilities. Pupillometry, which measures pupil dilation to understand various health conditions, is increasingly utilized. Research using imaging technologies like MRI and CT has shown that changes in brain activity directly affect pupil dilation, providing insights into cognitive processes. The market for pupillometers is expected to benefit from increasing demand due to rising numbers of individuals with vision impairments. According to a World Health Organization report from August 2023, approximately 2.2 billion people worldwide suffer from near or distant vision issues, contributing significantly to market expansion in the years ahead.

Furthermore, the increasing prevalence of neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease is anticipated to bolster market expansion. A study supported by the Parkinson’s Foundation in 2022 indicated that approximately 90,000 new cases of Parkinson’s disease are diagnosed annually in the United States. Furthermore, the rising adoption of pupilometers in various healthcare units is anticipated to help boost market growth. The pupillometer market is expanding as a result of the widespread use of computers and the Internet in the creation of brand-new goods. For instance, in 2017, Essilor Instruments USA introduced the X81705 Pupillometer medical device, which combines precise measurement with user-friendly controls. However, the lack of skilled professionals for operating advanced pupillometer device is hindering the pupillometer market growth.
