Global Pachymeter Device Market Is Anticipated to Surge Approximately $79.00 Billion By 2034

03-Sep-2025 | Zion Market Research

According to the report, the global pachymeter device market size was valued at approximately USD 24.20 Billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach around USD 79.00 Billion by the end of 2034, expanding at a CAGR of around 12.56% from 2025 to 2034.

Global Pachymeter Device Market Size

A pachymetry is a painless monitoring used for determining the thickness of the cornea. It finds a plethora of applications in daily medical practices such as complimentary examination in glaucoma, determining potential refractive surgery, and identifying specific disorders occurring in the cornea. There are mainly two main kinds of pachymetry, namely, ultrasound, which makes use of sound waves for creating images and optical pachymeters which make use of microscopes.

Increase in the cases of glaucoma and eye-related disorders is set to bolster the growth of the global pachymeter device market. In addition to this, the rise in incidences of diabetic retinopathy will embellish the expansion of the market globally. As per the WHO (World Health Organization), in 2019, the number of persons having one or other kind of eye-vision disorder accounted for approximately more than 2 billion. For the record, nearly 1 billion subjects across the globe had untreated eye-vision disorders. Apart from this, technological innovations such as the creation of analysis software & image processing will proliferate the growth of the market across the globe.

Nevertheless, stringent legislation and inadequate coverage provided by public & private insurance companies for pachymeter procedures can decimate the expansion of the pachymeter device industry across the globe. However, the easy availability of ophthalmic care solutions in the developing countries of Asia and Africa will open new vistas of growth for the global pachymeter device industry, thereby offsetting the negative impact hindrances on the global industry.

The global pachymeter device market is sectored into product type, mobility, application, end-user, and region.

In terms of application, the pachymeter device industry across the globe is divided into glaucoma diagnosis, refractive surgery, cataract surgery, and others. Furthermore, the glaucoma diagnosis segment, which contributed majorly towards the global market share in 2024, is set to record the highest gains over the forecast timespan. The growth of the segment in the upcoming years can be owing to the escalating need for quick diagnosis & treatment of glaucoma for helping the vision from getting worsened further. Moreover, pachymetry helps in monitoring the intraocular pressure with high accuracy, thereby steering the segmental growth.

Global Pachymeter Device Market

Based on the type, the global pachymeter device market is divided into ultrasound method and optical method segments.

North America, which contributed more than 60% of the global pachymeter device market share in 2024, is projected to lead the regional market expansion over the forecast timespan. The regional market surge over 2025-2034 can be owing to an increase in the penetration of pachymeter equipment in the hospitals and clinics in the nations including Canada and the U.S. along with the presence of robust healthcare services in these nations.

In addition to this, the pachymeter device industry in the Asia-Pacific region is slated to record the highest growth rate of about 8.1% in the forecasting years. The regional market growth over the forecast timeline can be credited to a rise in the disposable income of the end-users coupled with surging awareness among the population about the diagnosis of eye disorders in the preliminary phase.

Recent Breakthroughs

  • In the second half of 2022, NIDEK Co., Ltd., a key industry player in the design, production, and distribution of ophthalmic, lens, and optometric edging devices, introduced NT-1p non-contact pachymeter. The initiative will boost the expansion of the pachymeter device market across the globe.
  • In the second half of 2020, Occuity Ltd., a UK-based firm manufacturing optical healthcare monitoring & screening devices, declared the launching of the world’s first handheld optical non-contacting pachymeter in the November of 2021 at MEDICA 2021. The new product referred to as PM1 pachymeter can be used in determining the thickness of the corneal with the help of a micrometer level of precision. The strategic move is likely to increment the demand for pachymeter in the UK and across the European continent.
