The global optical coherence tomography market size reached USD 2.1 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 5.8 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 11.59% during 2025-2033.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) refers to a non-invasive imaging technique used to obtain high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina. Tabletop and handheld are some of the commonly available types of OCT devices. They consist of an interferometer and short-pulse lasers with low coherence and a broad bandwidth light source. OCT is widely used in various healthcare domains, such as ophthalmology, oncology, cardiovascular, and dermatology. It is also used to detect the retinal thickness and aids in the early detection and diagnosis of retinal diseases and conditions. It also provides precise imaging of neointimal stent strut coverage in follow-up exams and assists in the easier evaluation of stent strut apposition against the vessel wall.
The increasing incidences of retinal and choroidal disorders and visual impairments across the globe are creating a positive outlook for the market. Optical coherence tomography is widely used by an ophthalmologist for screening and diagnosing retinal-related disorders, including tear and detachment, diabetic retinopathy, macular hole, and retinitis pigmentosa. Apart from this, various product innovations, such as the introduction of higher-performing devices that assist in enhancing accuracy and improving the overall quality of eye care, are providing an impetus to the market growth. Additionally, the increasing geriatric population and rising instances of cancer are also favoring the market growth. Optical coherence tomography aids in early cancer detection and provides information on nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio, nuclear size and shape, and the organization and structure of glands. Other factors, including the increasing demand for early diagnosis methods, widespread product utilization in drug delivery, and significant improvements in healthcare technologies, are anticipated to drive the market further toward growth.
