The Global Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Market Size is anticipated to reach over USD 2,179.75 Million by 2026 according to a new research published by Polaris Market Research

 

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) methods are operative optical diagnostics techniques that cast a 2D as well as the 3D outlook of the retina to help ophthalmological assessments and treatments.  The Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Market is basically impelled by the differential need for these methods across several areas of life science and healthcare. The OCT market has been emphasized by the advancement in technologies, furthered by the increasing significance of medical applications in the current scenario.

 

The range of Optical Coherence Tomography is not limited to ophthalmology and has extended across other medical application such as nephrology, dermatology, and oncology. This factor has amplified the growth scenarios of the Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) which is anticipated to show intense growth in the forecast period.  The escalation of pathology has also become a devoted contributor to market growth as OCT methods could be employed in the pensive study of micro-level diseases. Furthermore, the non-intrusive nature of OCT has made this technique a prime choice of the medical community for ophthalmic imaging.

 

The Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) market has extended its area to the study of ailments such as cardiovascular disruptions, diabetes, esophageal problems, non-melanoma skin cancer, and prostate cancer. This is a significant standpoint for the market as the increasing occurrence of such disorders would create a widespread demand for OCT products. In addition, the emerging economies such as China, Japan, and India have seen operational variations in their healthcare sector which is making developing progress in that regions. This proliferates the demand for OCT devices further propelling the market growth.

 

The global Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Market is segmented on the basis of technology, type, application, and geography.

 

On the basis of technology, the global Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Market is segmented into Time Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (TDOCT), Frequency Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (FD-OCT), and Spatially Encoded Frequency Domain Optical Coherence Tomography. The Spatially Encoded Frequency Domain Optical Coherence Tomography is further categorized into Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SDOCT) and Fourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (FDOCT).

 

On the basis of type, the global Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Market is segmented into Catheter-based OCT devices, Doppler OCT devices, Handheld OCT devices, and Tabletop OCT devices. In 2017, the handheld type segment was estimated to dominate the market. The dominance is attributed to the higher product penetration in developed regions such as U.S., U.K., Germany, and Brazil.
