Phaco Equipment

The phacoemulsification (phaco) equipment market is undergoing a significant shift toward Intelligent Fluidics and lower Intraocular Pressure (IOP) management, with the global market for ophthalmic surgical devices projected to reach $13.16 billion by 2026 CoherentmarketinsightsMordorintelligence.

Market Trends & Insights (2024–2026)

* Technological Shift: Modern platforms are moving from high-ultrasound power to "Physiologic Surgery," which prioritizes chamber stability at lower, more natural IOP levels Reviewofophthalmology.

* Intelligent Fluidics: Systems like the Alcon Unity and Zeiss Quatera 700 use active sensing to match infusion precisely with aspiration, virtually eliminating post-occlusion surge ReviewofophthalmologyCrstodayeurope.

* End-User Shift: While hospitals remain dominant, Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) are the fastest-growing segment (6.82% CAGR) due to their cost-efficiency in performing high-volume cataract procedures Mordorintelligence.

* Competitive Landscape: The market is controlled by five major players—Alcon, J&J Vision, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Bausch + Lomb, and Glaukos—who collectively held approximately 64.4% of revenue in 2025 Mordorintelligence.
